OUR STORY

A journey begins with a single leaf

Katniss and I (Alaric) grew up in Wuyi Mountain, where tea is the first language.

But after years working in offices, we realized something was missing — the kind of connection that only happens when your hands are stained with tea leaves, not keyboard keys.

So, we left our jobs, called on friends from distant tea-growing families... Together, we built Rooteas.

What are the “roots” of Rooteas?

Rooteas tea making skills

Family-made

Our teas all come from tea-making families. Some are made by our own family, and others are crafted by families we've known and trusted for years. Not from an unknown source, but from real people and family producers whose craft we trust and have seen in person.

Rooteas family tea farm

Single-origin

It means you can actually taste where the tea comes from. It stays true to its own place, so the local soil, rocks, and climate all come through in the cup. With Wuyi rock oolong, you get that clear rock rhythm (Yan Yun) and a deep, lingering fragrance that only those rocky slopes can give. When you drink it, you're not just having a cup of tea, you're getting a small snapshot of that landscape.

Rooteas tea leaves

Transparency

We like to keep things honest and simple. When we share a tea, we share all the detailed information too, so you always know what you're drinking. We'd love to be the trusted tea partner you can turn to.
