In Pursuit of Tea

For U.S. consumers buying good tea is difficult, and great teas are still a rarity. Sebastian Beckwith , Frank Kwei and Alexander Scott established In Pursuit of Tea to explore remote areas and supply the finest teas available, some of which seldom leave the country in which they are grown. The art of growing tea has developed over centuries, and as with great wines it has been handed down through generations and varies according to region. Each year, we and our suppliers spend time in each of the finest tea-growing regions in order to understand that year's tea characteristics and to bring you the best. Our loose-leaf teas are crafted with great care, most of them by hand. We buy full leaf and organically grown teas when possible, often purchased from small farms or collectives. As an environmentally conscious business we support and donate to organizations that promote sustainable and organic agriculture.
