Frequently Asked Questions

We choose high-quality teas prized for their distinct character, from the leaves' aroma to the infusion's texture and finish. Where a tea grows, when it is picked and the care it receives before, during and after harvest all shape what you taste.

For example, roasting transforms the character of tea, drawing out rich, toasty aromatics and giving the cup greater depth and body. Through our long-term relationships with growers and artisans, we get to follow this craft from leaf to cup, as tea leaves are carefully grown, harvested and gently roasted to create distinctive teas like full-bodied Houjicha, Iron Goddess of Mercy oolong and other roasted teas. 

The same attention extends to every ingredient we source, from tea leaves to botanicals and dried fruit. We look closely at each ingredient’s origin, season and craftsmanship, then share what we discover through thoughtful tasting notes and origin details. This gives you a deeper connection to the people, places and traditions behind every cup.

More than 95% of our teas are certified organic. You’ll find premium organic teas across many of our teas, including black, green, white, oolong, matcha and botanical blends.

Loose leaf tea gives you the flexibility to adjust the amount of leaf and steep to your preference. With room for the leaves to open within a teapot or infuser, you can experience how their flavor develops through different steep times and repeated infusions.

Our high-quality tea sachets are pre-portioned for an easy, consistent cup wherever you are, whether at work, while traveling or whenever time is short. Each sachet makes it easy to enjoy carefully sourced tea without measuring leaves, then simply lift it out of your mug for effortless cleanup.

We source our matcha from Japan, where tea plants are shaded before harvest to encourage the development of vibrant color, savory umami and natural sweetness. The leaves are carefully steamed, dried and milled into a fine powder, preserving the character of the tea in every bowl. 

Matcha can vary widely depending on its cultivar, growing region, harvest season and the way it is cultivated and processed. While grade can offer a helpful reference point, it doesn’t tell the whole story. We select matcha based on its distinctive character and how it performs in the cup. 

For matcha whisked with water, look for a tea with a balance of sweetness, umami and texture that you enjoy on its own. For lattes, a matcha with more pronounced flavor and body can stand up beautifully to milk. Explore our matcha collection to find the right style for your daily ritual , with preparation notes to help guide your choice.

For an evening cup, we suggest caffeine-free botanical blends such as Chamomile Medley or Peppermint. You’ll find these high-quality herbal teas in our Calming & Restful collection, along with other blends to enjoy as the day winds down.

Check each tea’s ingredients and caffeine information to find an option that suits your evening routine, then choose a flavor profile you’ll look forward to sipping. From steeping the leaves to savoring the finished cup, the simple ritual of preparing tea can be a natural way to slow down at the end of the day.

We build and maintain Direct Trade relationships with growers and tea makers around the world. Our buyers return to these gardens year after year, tasting fresh harvests, learning from the people who tend the plants and experiencing firsthand the traditions and techniques that shape each tea.

For us, an ethical tea partnership is built over time through shared knowledge, careful listening and a commitment to working together. These long-term relationships give us a firsthand understanding of each tea’s origin, season and craftsmanship, allowing us to share the stories and distinctive character behind every harvest we bring home.

One good question deserves another!

Do you tend to reach for citrus, warming spices, toasted flavors? 

Are you looking for something to energize you, or help wind you down? 

Are you a planner, a ritual-seeker or are you more go-with-the flow?

Perhaps even more fundamental questions: If you know whether you prefer black, white, green tea or another kind altogether (perhaps a botanical herbal tea?), what about that variety draws you to it? 

Curiosity is where all good discoveries begin. Take our simple tea quiz to start your journey, and consider sampler boxes of high-quality teas to explore by taste profile, mood, caffeine level and more.
