Art of Tea is a tea importer and wholesaler based in Los Angeles, California. We hand blend and custom craft the world`s finest organic teas and botanicals. Our teas are carefully selected directly from growers, each one offering a unique story. The seeds that formed the foundation of Art of Tea were first planted in 1996 when Steve Schwartz began his journey of extensive study in preventative medicine at the Ayurvedic Institute in New Mexico. Since then, Art of Tea has become a leading purveyor of organic and specialty teas. Each year Steve travels extensively, returning with rare and unique teas from around the world.
