Welcome back to Stars Hollow—where the coffee flows freely, the town meetings get weirdly intense, and everyone’s got a story to tell. In Part 1, we explored which teas from the Chado catalog might just tempt Lorelai, Rory, Emily, and Richard to swap their usual brew for something a little leafier. Now, it’s time to shine the spotlight on the rest of the quirky, lovable cast that makes Stars Hollow feel like home. From Sookie’s big-hearted chaos to Kirk’s unpredictable everything, we’ve handpicked the perfect teas to match their one-of-a-kind personalities. Let’s steep into Part 2!

Kirk Gleason

Kirk—Stars Hollow’s resident oddball and unofficial jack-of-all-trades. Whether he’s delivering mail, directing avant-garde short films, launching yet another side hustle, or playing town security, Kirk is everywhere—usually doing something completely unexpected.

That’s why we chose our Uji Genmaicha to represent him. This unique Japanese green tea is blended with matcha, toasted rice and actual popcorn—yes, popcorn—which gives it a toasty, comforting flavor with an unmistakable twist. Like Kirk, it’s a little quirky, totally unpredictable, and strangely lovable. You never quite know what you’re going to get—but somehow, it always leaves an impression.

Luke Danes

Luke Danes—gruff, dependable, flannel-clad, and the man who (finally) stole the heart of Lorelai Gilmore. Through every twist and turn, Luke was the constant—the steady force in the lives of our favorite fast-talking ladies. Like a warm mug between your hands on a cold morning, Luke was always there, quietly offering comfort, protection, and a well-timed sarcastic remark.

Ironically, for someone who runs a diner, Luke isn’t much of a coffee drinker. But when it comes to tea, he has let it slip a few times that he enjoys a good peppermint blend. That’s why we’ve chosen our Evening Comfort Pyramid Tea Bags for Luke. This calming herbal infusion combines peppermint, ginger root, and lemon peel—an ideal blend to help him wind down after a long day of wrangling Taylor, dodging town meetings, and pouring endless cups of coffee he’d never touch himself.

And because Luke is no-frills and all function, we think he’d appreciate the convenience of a pyramid tea bag—less fuss, less mess, and just the right amount of comfort.

Sookie St. James

Oh, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie. The whirlwind in the Dragonfly kitchen—the woman who’s somehow both a culinary genius and a walking kitchen hazard. With her lovable, high-energy charm and passion for all things food, Sookie is the kind of person you instantly want as your best friend (and your personal chef).

When it came to choosing a tea for her, we knew it had to be something bold, bright, and just a little bit daring—enter our Colombian Tropical Charming. This green tea is bursting with flavor and personality, just like Sookie. With exotic Colombian ingredients like starfruit and lulo, it’s a blend that’s both unexpected and exciting. We can just imagine Sookie taking one sip and immediately brainstorming a wild dessert to pair with it—before turning to Jackson and insisting that they have to start growing tropical fruit… in Connecticut.

But that’s the magic of Sookie—her enthusiasm, her creativity, and her absolute joy in everything she does. And this tea captures all of it in a single, vibrant cup.

Michel Gerard

Ah, Michel Gerard—our favorite snooty Frenchman with impeccable taste and a flair for dramatic sighs. Beneath the sarcasm and eye rolls lies someone who desperately wants to be part of high society. He’s drawn to elegance, luxury, and all things refined—so much so that he once begged Lorelai to take him to a cotillion. And really, are we surprised? He’s a proud Frenchman with a soft spot for status and silk napkins.

That’s why we’ve chosen our Orange Blossom Oolong as Michel’s signature tea. This sophisticated blend is floral, fragrant, and effortlessly chic—everything Michel aspires to be. In fact, orange blossom has a long history in the royal courts of France, often used in perfumes, confections, and yes, tea. If it was good enough for Marie Antoinette, we’re quite certain Michel would approve—though he’d probably insist on sipping it from fine china with a smug little smirk.

Taylor Doose

English Breakfast—strong, dependable, and perfectly suited for a man who thrives on rules, routines, and order. And if that didn’t immediately clue you in, let us spell it out: we’re talking about none other than Taylor Doose.

Taylor is the self-appointed guardian of Stars Hollow’s structure, a man who lives for zoning laws, annual festivals, and—of course—town meetings. He’s a stickler for tradition and expects everyone to play by the book (a book he probably wrote himself and updates weekly). That’s why we believe our classic English Breakfast blend is a perfect match. This bold black tea has long set the standard for everyday tea drinkers. It’s not flashy, trendy, or experimental—and that’s exactly the point. It’s comforting in its consistency, reassuring in its simplicity, and steeped (pun intended) in tradition. While it may not excite the adventurous tea lover, Taylor would absolutely appreciate its order, structure, and timelessness. No surprises. No nonsense. Just tea—exactly the way he likes it.

And there you have it—our tea pairings for some of Stars Hollow’s most unforgettable residents. From Sookie’s vibrant creativity to Kirk’s lovable chaos and Michel’s luxurious sensibilities, each of these characters brings something special to the Gilmore Girls universe—and we like to think their perfect cup of Chado tea does too.

But we’re not done yet! Part 3 is just around the corner, and we’ll be diving into even more of our favorite faces—including the fierce and fabulous Paris Geller, the ever-loyal Lane Kim, and yes, Rory’s boyfriends (Team Jess? Logan? Dean? We’re brewing something for everyone). So stay tuned—and let us know in the comments which tea you think your favorite character would love!
