About Us
OUR STORY
My partner and I come from different backgrounds. I grew up accustomed to big pots of tea heralding large family dinners, whereas he was more used to the trusty old esky or the bottle(s) of wine to accompany a meal. We tried to teach each other how to understand and appreciate one another’s cultures. In fact, he continues to try quite hard to explain the complexities of a wine. But when it came my turn to try and explain the subtle intricacies of Vietnamese tea, I couldn’t find any high quality premium teas with which to demonstrate. There were plenty of low quality tea bags, flavoured teas, teas with flowers and chunks of dried fruit in it. Teas from what felt like every other corner of the earth, but I could not find what I was after that came from Vietnam. And that’s where our journey began. I was looking for a premium high quality tea to drink, and when I found it, it felt like an awful shame not to share.
