We are 2 good friends who fell in love with the art of tea a long time ago. After taking a few years of tea classes and exploring a few tea regions, we started to appreciate teas at an intimate level. There are thousands of different kinds of teas and herbs in the world, each one of them has its own characters, story, taste, aroma and benefit.
Our Philosophy
To promote tea in the GTA, we have taken a proactive approach to meet people in customer shows and festivals where people can taste our teas comfortably without any buying pressure. We believe that people can only find out the true taste of teas when he or she is in a relaxing mood. Tea is not just a drink, it refreshes your mind and invigorate your body with energy.
Even though all tea we imported have certified grading, it does not necessarily indicate flavor and quality. Therefore, we tasted and inspected all teas in person prior to importing to our warehouse in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Every year a team of us will go to different tea regions in Canada, US, Europe, China, Taiwan and South Africa and select the best teas we can. We select only teas that give us the most prominent aroma and taste, and the best looking shape and color, we never accept any teas that are deemed unacceptable. Furthermore, teas travel thousand miles from their home to Canada may lose flavor somewhat during transit, therefore, we have all tea vacuum sealed prior to shipping and we further process our tea by drying and refreshing them in order to bring out their best flavor and aroma profile prior to packaging. That's why many tea lovers will say "wow, your tea tastes fresher" when they first taste our tea.
We don't just ask people to drink more teas but to show people that making a nice cup of tea is in fact easy and they will find tea making process is fun and enjoyable at anytime, at anywhere. Coffee has been the dominant beverage in the past. Most recent findings show that tea has lots of health benefits and in fact, tea is a very tasty daily beverage. A cup of tea contains far less caffeine than coffee. Tea has become part of our modern life style. Making tea is an art and a meditation. During the day, a few cups of tea can provide you with energy to work through the day. By the end of a working day, you want to sit down quietly to make and enjoy one of your favorite teas. Let the stress slip away…..
