Living Tea selects the finest naturally-grown, ancient tree, aged, and rare teas from around the world, and can be found at the Mountain Gate Teahouse. Each year, they travel throughout Asia to carefully select the finest quality leaves. Living Teas are seed-grown in their native environments, free of any chemical fertilizers, pesticides or weed-killers. Their passion for old-growth and aged tea inspires their continual exploration. The name of each Living Tea speaks to an inherent quality in those particular leaves, whether it be the mountain of origin, terroir, flavor, aroma or impression. Each tea has a story and every cup represents an imaginary voyage. They also source hand-made, unique wares made by tea lovers who understand the intricacies of fine teaware, and that enhance the quality of their rare teas.
