By austin on March 23rd, 2012 under: Tea Industry News
Tags: tea trends

Things have changed a lot in the past ten years from when we began our business. Twenty years ago getting any good Chinese tea was virtually impossible in the US. I had to get mine from a Chinese friend whose family was from a tea-growing region in China.
