Three of my favorite tea companies are on the search for the first teas of 2014.
They’re posting excellent photos of their travels in China and India right now via social media outlets.
Have a look:
Silk Road Teas (via Facebook), based in San Rafael, California.
Single source Chinese teas.
ThunderboltTea (via Facebook) based in Darjeeling, India.
Exclusively Darjeelings.
Camellia Sinensis (via Facebook) based in Montréal, Canada.
They sell everything.
