Expedition Series

Expedition Series teas are rare teas from around the world. Many come from traditional growing regions, such as Japan and India. Others hearken from new origin gardens, such as Bitaco in Columbia, Satemwa in Malawi, or DOke in Bihar. Handcrafted by tea masters, these gourmet teas reflect the tradition and art of tea, refined over the last four millennia as well as innovative new trends by creative teamakers.
