Seven Cups We’re all about the tea

Welcome to Seven Cups. If this is your first time here, we’re happy you found us.  We’ve been here for more than five years.

We are here to connect you directly to Chinese tea masters who devote their lives to making great tea.  It’s an obsession with us.  Rather than hide them from you, we believe in open sourcing; we publish their names and stories on our website.  We want you to know about these tea masters, enjoy their tea, and establish your own relationships with them.

Some of our teas are expensive. That’s because we are obsessed with quality, not price, so we’re happy to pay our producers well in order to support what they do. If you’re comparison shopping and you’re focused on price, then make sure you’ve looked at the other sites first and tried some of their tea.  We really want to be your last stop.

Please look around our site.  We work on it every day.  Consider us a resource in your study of tea — we are every bit as focused on research as we are on the tea itself, and we’re always posting new information. Any question you ask on our forum, we will answer or find someone that can.

We work hard at this business and we’re happy to be doing it.  If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, or at one of our tea houses, let us know.  We’ll take you to China to begin the search yourself.

Welcome to our world!
