I know we cannot be all things to all tea people, there is just too much variety in the wide tea world

However, it became very clear to me on this trip that: it brings me great joy to seek out and find new luxuries to share with you, And to make more connections to those who have access to the small farmers who are passionate about creating teas.

It is similar to the feeling of buying directly from the farmers and creators and artists at Farmers Markets. Though I do not, personally, have the resources or gumption to travel directly to many places (I am really very cowardly at trying many foreign foods), I rejoice that there are others who have that sense of adventure.

It was especially exciting to meet Juyan at Chinese tea Co, and to discover the works of Postcard Teas. It’s why I appreciate: knowing Rajen and family at Heritage Tea Farms; getting to know Nischal & Pratik and the growing crew of Nepal Teas; and all the educational video efforts of Don at Mei Leaf. It’s why I have goals of adding ever more of the Farm Direct teas to our lineup.

I want to drink teas made by people who care, and I think most of you do too.

Thank you for supporting my little venture, and enabling me to provide financial support and well-being to those who work for me, and to the farmers we source from!

So much Tea Love

P.S. – I have set up some tentative dates for a sampling session of the most expensive and luxurious of the teas I brought back [Scottish, Sovereign Yellow, Tie Guan Yin and two special green teas (An Ji Bai Cha, Zhejiang Province, China) from this Spring’s harvest – at least … maybe a few more] and you can help firm things up by purchasing a deposit ticket HERE.
