Our mission

Marketing specialists will call it a tagline or a mission statement, but for us tea people, it's the driving force behind everything we do.


Since 1994, we have continued to create custom solutions for the needs of our customers. By doing so, we've been able to relieve customer stress by keeping all of their tea-related needs under the same roof in the beautiful city of Houston, Texas.
