Our Sourcing Regions
While many tea shops source their teas through third-party vendors, we prefer to purchase them directly from the source. We schedule our buying trip each year to coincide with the Spring tea harvest, generally around April or May. Our travels take us to Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, and China, while our business partner focuses on Sri Lanka and India, as he has more experience in this region. We want to ensure we obtain high-quality products to share with our communities.
