Our Story

Tea Origin 茗外 was created to bring Chinese fine teas to a global audience.

For centuries, Chinese tea has carried history, craftsmanship,
and a philosophy shaped by time.
Yet today, much of that depth remains distant to the world.

The Chinese name “茗外” reflects our intention — tea that travels beyond borders,
reaching audiences beyond its place of origin.

We present high-end Chinese teas through a modern lens, making them more accessible without losing their authenticity.
The traditions remain intact,
the methods respected,
the heritage preserved through practice rather than display.

At Tea Origin, modern expression is not a replacement for tradition.
It is a bridge.

We select teas rooted in their terroir,
honor time-tested processing and brewing principles, and translate them into contemporary experiences that feel natural in today’s world.

Tea Origin exists not to redefine Chinese tea,
but to let it be understood, appreciated,
and carried forward — far beyond where it began.
