Our Values in Action
At BWT, our values are more than words—they guide every step of our tea journey. From direct sourcing and ethical partnerships to careful harvesting and a selection for every cup, we’re committed to sustainability, quality, and community. Sip ethically sourced, sustainable teas and discover the difference.
Direct-Sourced
We partner directly with small-scale farmers, families, and co-ops to offer seasonally harvested teas at peak freshness—supporting sustainable agriculture at the source.
Harvested with Care
Every leaf is carefully picked by skilled hands, ensuring the highest quality while honoring generations of craftsmanship, small-scale farming traditions, and environmental stewardship.
An Ethical Exchange
We believe in ethical sourcing and fair wages to support small-scale farmers and tea-growing communities. Through our partnerships, we champion sustainable practices to support a thriving tea industry for generations to come.
Teas for Every Cup
Tea is best enjoyed together. Our diverse collection offers something for everyone, regardless of where you are on your tea journey. We celebrate tea's unifying power and invite you to share in our love of tea, creating deeper connections with each other and the flavors of our teas.

You’ll find her exploring the globe for flavors that make taste buds dance—chasing rare cultivars, collaborating with innovative growers, and uncovering hidden gems that push the boundaries of what tea can be. For teaheads, the journey never ends—there’s always another steep.
