Our Story

The vision of ‘For All the Tea in Charleston’ is to share with people the South Carolina and Chinese tea culture, also known as Cha Dao (The Way of Tea). Cha Dao includes the preparation of tea and the various occasions which are celebrated in China with the drinking of tea. Using the knowledge of tea culture we invite family, friends, travel groups, and business colleagues to experience and enjoy a guided tea tasting in a casual tranquil atmosphere. The presentation, along with the tasting of fine tea, can enhance the mood, initiate discussions, which leads to developing and strengthening relationships. Tea has united people over the centuries. In addition, tea is well known for its health and wellness benefits!

To complement the tea presentations, the world’s most prized teas are brewed and served. We specialize in teas from heirloom and ancient trees, born from seeds planted by generations before us. Every single tea tree is different from one another. The tea harvesting and processing techniques are the result of centuries of refinement.
