The tale of tea is stained by a dark history- one of deception, theft, racism & violence. Even today, the mechanisms of the tea industry worldwide continue to be dictated by the legacy of a Western European colonial imperialist structure. As a multiracial and multicultural couple of British & Chinese origins, we started Two Trees Tea House as a reckoning of this dark history and a reclamation of tea culture.

We source our teas farm-direct from tea gardens around the world who grow and craft tea outside of the confines of the a mainstream tea industry, one which is oppressive to both land and humanity alike. Our partners farm organically, regeneratively and in harmony with the land on which they grow. They treat their growers, pickers & makers like community, providing them with living wages, sustainable livelihoods and opportunity for growth. Our teas are sourced with well-being, social equity, environmental justice & cultural sovereignty in mind.

Beyond the drink itself, sharing tea is and act of community care; a warm drink over which human connections can be made, friendships forged and wounds healed. From China to the British Isles, to 'get the kettle on' is to partake of a loving sensorial ritual transcending borders and differences.

Whether you are joining us for a cup (or two!) or purchasing a caddy of tea from our online shop, know you are actively taking part in the healing of history, for the good of hard working honest people, the planet and communities around the world.

May tea bring us back to our senses, Nature & to each other.
