Rishi Tea & Botanicals

Rishi Tea (Milwaukee, with Pacific Northwest distribution strength) pioneered certified organic and direct-trade tea in the North American market from 1997, maintaining relationships with certified growers in China, Japan, Taiwan, India, and beyond. Their extensive portfolio covers the breadth of the tea world at accessible price points without sacrificing authenticity or traceability.

Rishi Tea provides the most accessible entry point to authentic, provenance-documented tea in the BC market — wide retail availability at Whole Foods and specialty grocers, consistent quality, and genuine direct-trade relationships. Their Phoenix Dancong and Wuyi Rou Gui are excellent stepping stones from introductory Chinese tea into the connoisseur realm.
