We started in Anchorage in 2018 with handmade notebooks and journals. Since, then we've added different stationery and paper-related products, everything designed to steep some beauty into everyday life.

My name is Ferchu Waddoups, I am the graphic designer, Illustrator, bookbinder, and owner of "10 Cups of Tea." I love to build things, and disassemble them too! I was fascinated when I discovered the world of bookbinding as an assignment while in college. I fell in love with the tools, the papers, the textures, the long, detailed process, and the focus on elevating something as simple as paper into beautiful pieces of art. 10 Cups of Tea is the result of my passion for stationery, design, patterns, and colors.

Although we make a lot of books and journals, our shop also creates illustrations. My daughter Katerina and I are both illustrators, and our artwork is featured in our shop's items, from stickers to journals. Together, we've created many products we are proud of.
