Teance cares deeply
about providing fresh, whole leaf teas to our customers. Our tea buyer travels
to Asia at least twice a year to purchase the most
premium, fresh tea harvests. While some seasonal teas sell out very quickly due
to the limited quantities available, the rest of our teas are carefully stored
in Teance's China and Berkeley warehouses to ensure they are at optimum
quality when they reach our customers.
At our Berkeley warehouse, rows of teas are stored in
heat-sealed, vacuum-packed bags, and in airtight tins. Rather than keeping a
large stock of packaged teas, we hand-pack teas every week into our signature
silver pouches. Our lead tea packer, Sonia, is one of Teance's first employees,
and probably the staffer customers love most. She is always ready with a hug,
and demonstrates her care in the meticulous way she packs all of our teas. We
are sure that her love enhances our teas when customers brew our fresh, whole
leaf teas at home!
