They take pride in providing our tea community with exceptional tea leaves sourced from small, family-owned operations in Asia. Through extensive network and personal connections, they have built unique sourcing channels that allow us to offer small-batch, top-quality tea productions.
Their mission goes beyond just sourcing tea. It's about supporting these tea families and preserving their heritage. These families are not just business partners; they are integral to the journey. We take great pleasure in sharing their stories, capturing their tea production methods, and showcasing their exceptional craftsmanship.
