Ashbys of London
Quick link: Ashbys of London productsBana Tea Company

Linda Louie (owner and tea purveyor) sources her teas directly from the tea farmers, who pick their leaves from old-growth tea trees (from 100 to 400 years old) and harvest and dry the leaves themselves. The quality shows in Bana’s exceptional offering of [...]

Chicago Tea Garden

Copco
Quick link: Copco productsCopco recently put out a range of innovative teaware, including infusers, travel mugs and kettles. I’m particularly fond of their travel mug, which is remarkably cheap, stainless steel tumbler with a nifty twist-to-stop steeping feature.

Matcha Source

Quick link: Mighty Leaf Tea productsMighty Leaf Tea are one of the internet’s most popular tea stores, and with good reason.

Their loose leaf range is [...]

Narien Teas
Quick link: Narien Teas productsNarien Teas might not have the largest offering, but I am consistently impressed with their teas. They stock my favourite Earl Grey, a lovely loose leaf pu-erh and kilinoe, a green tea from Hawaii.
