The
Overview:
It is a well known fact
that next to plain water, the most popular drink on earth is
tea, and we are honored to make many of the world's finest,
rarest, and most highly acclaimed teas available to you at
our tea houses and here online. It is our privilege to
invite you to experience the tradition and artistry of one
of life’s oldest and most rewarding pleasures - known
simply as the way of tea.
San Francisco’s world-famous Imperial Tea Court is
renowned as an exclusive source for many of the most highly
acclaimed and sought-after teas produced today.
Magnificently appointed by visiting Chinese craftsmen and
opened on the fourth of July, 1993 in Chinatown, Imperial
Tea Court represents the life-long commitment to the art and
tradition of all aspects of tea of co-founders Grace and Roy
Fong. Their mutual love and respect for authentic,
hand-crafted Chinese teas (and their difficulty in obtaining
them in the United States) led to the initiation of direct
relations with tea growers and producers in China and
Taiwan, and ultimately to the establishment of Imperial Tea
Court. |
