VT is one of the first US companies to source exclusively teas grown without pesticides usage. Our delicious single-origin loose leaf teas are good for you and the planet. VT is owned by Annie Xiang, a 1st-gen Chinese American queer woman. Our mission is to cultivate empathy across communities through story telling of our tea farmers, who have been for centuries rendered invisible by the tea industry at large. In addition to tea and teaware, we also perform Chinese tea ceremonies to patrons. It’s an intentional and life-changing experience.
