This year includes Hawaii, Nepal, Africa, and Columbia. The variety of tea will provide a diverse experience while exploring.

I have been wanting to get people a taste of tea from North America, to which I found things to be pricey. As much as I wanted to get Canadian tea, this year it was not going to happen; I settled for Hawaii tea. Maunakea worked with me to get their higher end green tea at a better price than normal, huge relief. I then wanted to include a region that isn’t well drank, being Columbia tea. Thankfully What Cha carried the Bitaco tea because they sell in 2+lb wholesale only. This is a region that I haven’t even tried yet! From the fun stuff I moved to the serious category. Nepali Tea Traders and Justea do so much work for the community they are involved with that it makes me smile. I highly encourage everyone to check them out as I am trying to funnel people to places I think need more eyes on them for the great work they do which leads to the last pick being Tealet. Teatlet’s model of a business is just super awesome, connecting farmers with buyers… it’s much more than that, but you just have to get involved and find out. There’s so much awesome stuff happening, my suggestion is to sip away at the selected tea you pick out and get to know the vendor/company while sending them an email as you drink the tea. I’m sure they would love some feedback :)
