We've been going to China for 30+ years.
We've lived in Beijing. We work directly with farmers' co-ops. We know the teas people actually drink there—not the fancy stuff saved for guests, but the everyday teas that keep you going all day. That's the pitch: we source organic loose-leaf tea for everyday drinking.
Good enough for James Beard restaurants. Good enough for your Tuesday afternoon.
Our teas show up on fancy menus and in Food & Wine. They also show up in thousands of regular kitchens, getting brewed multiple times a day. That's the point.

Above and Beyond
I have to say, Little Red Cup is the coolest company I have purchased from in a long time. They sent me a handwritten letter with suggestions on how to best prepare the tea I had purchased from them. It was very sentimental and thoughtful, but even more impressive is their tea! My goodness. I thought I was a coffee drinker until I had REAL tea. Night and day difference! Best Jasmine Tea I have ever tasted in my life.

Simply the Best.
I admit it - I am a tea "snob" in the way some people are coffee "snobs." I am particular about the tea and how it is brewed. And I know that anything Little Red Cup offers will be high quality. Yunnan Black is simply the best. No more tea bags, no more bland brews. It is rich, aromatic, and wonderful. Tea as it should be.

A favorite among favorites!
I love tea (as I'm sure most people who visit this website do) and I like a nice variety of greens, blacks, whites, oolongs and pu'ers. Golden Monkey is my go-to black tea for everyday use, saving Little Red Cup's fantastic Black Special Lot and Black Snail for weekends. Golden Monkey is one of the teas I love enough to order a whole pound of it. It's also one of the teas I give to friends who want to sample LRC's amazing line of teas.

Fabulous black tea
Little red cups tea is some of the best I’ve had. The Wuyuan black has big full leaves- and a rich, strong flavor. It’s my new morning tea! And I love supporting a small business that sends you a little hand written note- it’s the little things!

A tea adventure
I have been moving away from (artificially) flavored teas, and toward traditional teas. I never realized how many different tastes could be in one tea! ... Add to that great customer service, and I know I'll be ordering another tin of Jade Oolong when this one is finished.
