Consistency in Tea Quality and Taste

Maintaining consistency in quality and taste profiles for our teas is critical to a stable tea supply for our customers. While we cannot 100% guarantee the quality and taste will be consistent and never change from season to season and batch to batch, we can assure you that we do all we can to work closely with the tea growers and tea makers to minimize differences. If there is a significant difference in quality or taste from one batch to the next of a tea that is regularly ordered, we will inform you and provide a sample prior to purchasing a new order.

Latest Harvest Teas from Four Major Tea Regions

Supplying teas from the freshest latest harvest is important. For most Green teas and Oolong teas the spring harvest yields the highest grade, but some sometimes winter harvests are exceptionally good and even some autumn harvests can produce very good teas. Our teams on ground in each area monitor the harvests closely and it is their main responsibility to be continually tasting and assessing tea quality and ensuring that only the best teas available at any given time are shipped to our customers.  Our tea experts know their teas and make careful judgments on each batch of tea we purchase.

A Resourceful and Experienced Team on the Ground in Each Region

Our on the ground teams in each country source teas from up to 20 different tea gardens and tea producers covering all of the specialized tea growing areas in each country.  They know the local tea industry well and have very good relationships with many of the farmers and tea processors and they know the value and pricing of the teas in their area.

Transparent Operations from the Tea Garden to You

We feel it is important to be transparent and open about our operations and provide our customers with as much information as possible. One of our strengths is our lean operation and our desire to maintain the smallest distance possible between where the tea was plucked and the person drinking the tea. Our business model of direct shipping from the country of origin to your door supports this. In each country of origin our teams harvest and process some of the teas themselves. They also warehouse a selection of teas purchased from various tea gardens and tea processing plants throughout the country. In most cases we provide you with the names and locations of the tea gardens and tea factories as well as other information about each tea. In a few instances however – especially some of our Taiwan teas, the tea farmers tend to prefer to be somewhat secretive about their tea growing and tea processing and has asked that we not disclose their name and exact location. We respect this as we understand the culture there in this regard.

Door to Door Shipping Direct from the Tea Growing Region to Your Door

We specialize in a providing Door to Door shipping direct from the tea growing regions – getting the freshest and highest grade teas to you as directly and economically as possible. This eliminates the 5-6 month supply chain process of getting average quality teas to you that most of the bigger conventional tea suppliers are limited to. In this way we are able to provide you with a range of teas based on quality and not only price, giving an edge in value to you and your business with “stand-out teas” not just “same old teas”
