San Francisco / California / United States
Red Blossom Tea Company is first and foremost a family owned tea shop in San Franciscos Chinatown, but we are also much more. We are direct importers, travelling thousands of miles in search of rare teas and artisan tea ware. We are educators, striving to bring the richness of traditional tea culture to our customers. And most importantly, we are tea lovers. We love to drink tea, talk tea, think tea and even obsess over tea. About Our Teas We specialize in traditionally crafted loose leaf teas and were able to acquire the very best. Our teas trace back to the tea gardens and to the very hands that crafted them, often using time honored methods passed down from one generation to the next. If a particular tea is best grown at higher elevations, well find the highest mountain garden we can. If a particular tea is best roasted with charcoal, well not only find the roaster, but also insist on the exact fruitwood charcoal to use. Yes, you could say were a little obsessed, but we take pride in what we do, and we strive to do it well. So well save you the health pitch and the mystical tales. Instead, we just have really good teas. Today, weve made a few changes. Weve redesigned the interior, added English descriptions to our canisters, and along the way, built this web site. The company has started to grow as well our selection of teas now tops 100 different types, and a few of them can be found in select restaurants, hotels and cafes across the country. One thing hasnt changed: our dedication to quality and staying true to the traditions and standards that have shaped Red Blossom Tea Company since its founding. If you do make a trip out to San Francisco, stop by and share a cup of tea with us. We are just a few blocks from the famous Chinatown Gate in San Francisco:
