My hometown is in the subtropical hills, which are perfect for growing green tea. I've got a little tea garden, but it's small. I mainly use it for my own tea. When spring comes around, my family will take me out to pick some tea leaves. We'll use an iron pot to bring the tea leaves to a boil, and I'll remember the heat and the way the tea smelled.

Tea culture was a big part of everyday life, and families would often have guests over. When someone visited, the host family would grab some green tea leaves, boil water, and steam the tea in cups to share. The tea had the flavor of the mountain mist. I started following the adults when I was a teenager to learn the "Guan Gong patrol city" tea gestures. That's how I got the hang of telling the difference between the color of the soup and rainy day Longjing tea. The tea table was my first tea culture classroom.

When professional and love meet, the two of them are on the same wavelength.

Because I have always wanted to drink all the good tea in China, five years ago, I succeeded in my wish in an old tea company in China. At that time, our footprints throughout the country's core tea areas, but also at that time, I met a super-professional partner Liu Ju - from the top Agricultural University of the Department of Tea out of the “Tea Detective”, she is responsible for all the company's tea assessment, tasting and commissioning.

I remember that in order to choose a jasmine dragon pearl for the Middle East customers, she set up more than a dozen jasmine tea in the evaluation room, with a professional evaluation cup to open the soup, look at the soup flower, smell the wall incense, pinch the bottom of the leaf softness and hardness, and finally picked out the one, the customer said, “Drinking out of the end of the rhyme of the Damascus rose”.

Not only that, she is also quite knowledgeable and aesthetic about tea sets, most of the company's tea sets are selected by her, when we use these tea sets to brew tea, we can also feel the delicacy and temperature of tea culture. In the following years, she used her professional knowledge to sift the tea leaves and tell the story, while I docked the customers with my foreign trade experience and knowledge of tea culture, delivering Chinese tea to the cups of tea lovers all over the world.

From the tea table to the world: let each piece of tea leaf carry a story across.

After I left the original company, I could not forget the charm of tea and culture, and wanted to continue to work in this industry. Liu Ju also wanted to use his professional knowledge and love of tea to find the best tea in the world. So the two of them put their heads together and came up with Tea Traverse.

Now she is still involved in the tea mountain, in Yunnan Pu'er village with tea farmers to learn tea frying, in the Wuyi Mountain tea area and teacher picking rock tea tea green; into the laboratory with professional control of the quality of each piece of tea leaves. With my past experience, I bridge the gap between Chinese tea and the world, and tell the story behind each tea to my customers.

Our tea table is like a window to our culture.

Tea Traverse means "traveling through the world of tea." We're not just about selling tea leaves and tea sets, we want to show people the whole Chinese tea culture too. We've tested each of our teas at least three times, and each one has its own origin, picking time, and story from the tea farmers. Each set of tea is a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

The tea table, across mountains and seas, will always have a place for you!

We ship worldwide and package this tea safely; our customer service chat is not only full of helpful answers to your questions about brewing water temperature, but also has some fun tea stories. Every now and then, we'll do a video to show how different teas and tea sets affect the brewing process.

This cup of tea starts out in the tea mountains of China and ends up in your cup, covering a lot of ground and a big cultural difference of a thousand years. We want to bring the world the real Chinese tea experience. Every time you raise your cup, you'll hear the tea farmers' mountain songs as they pick tea and see the craftsmen's concentration as they repair the blanks.
