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.
