The mission of Rishi Tea is to offer the finest garden-direct fair trade teas of each season. They work closely with only the most skilled artisans, who have generations of tea-making experience, to deliver premium-quality, rare, antique and organic varieties of tea. There are never middlemen between the tea artisans and Rishi Tea—their direct relationships with fair trade tea growers allow them to provide the best quality and flavor. In fact, less than 2% of the world’s tea production has the handcrafted artisanal quality of Rishi Tea. Each season, Rishi Tea travels to the top tea gardens in Asia to purchase the best new teas directly from the farmers. The company also imports handcrafted teaware and organic iced tea and blends their own unique herbal infusions.
