We're building a more harmonious place on earth.
Since day one, our mission has been to provide quality and natural Chinese teas to the world, and to build a better eco-system and society for the Earth. This is important - we hope you can join our mission to make the world a more harmonious place. Here are what we do:
Encouraging a simple and healthy life
Supporting sustainability
Serving the elderly in need
1.
Encouraging a simple and healthy life
Nowadays, it is handy to find tea bags and blended teas with artificial flavours. We think tea should be just as simple as living our life. We commit to our principle and only offer natural whole-leaf Chinese tea without any additives.
We also encourge minimal packaging: All packaging materials are recyclable/reusable, and we use 50% fewer materials than traditional Chinese tea packaging.

Supporting sustainability
Sustainability integrates three main goals
We partner with local farmlands that are over 50 years old. We work closely with them based on the prediction of orders - so we can plan and utilize the tea land fully. By doing so, the quality of soil and the yield are both improved.
Traditionally tea growers only earn a fraction of the price tea fetches on the international market. We have a much lower markup because of our direct-to-consumer model (eliminating middleman), so we can pay a fair and better price to the farmers to ensure what they deserve. Learn more about our story.
Respecting and preserving heritages are important. All of the teas are hand-picked and hand-crafted, making sure you taste what you see. Here is how our tea is made.
3.
Serving the elderly in need
For each box delivered, we'll serve 10 cups of teas to the elderly living alone or in nursing homes. We'll drink tea together and enjoy the time.
We understand sometimes the elderly may feel lonely and isolated. In China, tea drinking is part of a family’s routine. We hope to spread the value behind this activity. We encourage everyone to spend more time with the elderly, drink some tea together, and enjoy the moment.
By drinking tea with Borntea, you’re building a more harmonious place on earth.
