HENCE TEA
Tea-Tasting is Friend-Making

In 2018, Hence Tea founder, Jack Jiao, started a Southern California-based meetup group for tea enthusiasts. At the request of the community members, he sourced both traditional and unique Chinese teas from independent tea farmers in China for them to try.
Surprised upon realizing that many people were unaware of the distinctive flavors and the numerous benefits provided by Chinese teas, he sought to reintroduce it, along with Chinese tea culture, to everyone.
From this vision, Hence Tea was born.

We visit China every year to source fresh and authentic Chinese loose-leaf teas, as well as high-quality and classic teawares and tea accessories for you.

Lo Tung (Chinese Poet, 790-835 AD)
When I drink tea, I am conscious of peace. The cool breath of heaven rises in my sleeves and blows my cares away.
