Catherine & Ned Heagerty have owned and operated Silk Road Teas since 2003. Each year, through extensive travel in the provinces of China, visiting small tea farms, out-of-the-way markets and specialty tea companies, we procure rare and artisan teas that offer our customers a distinctive taste experience. Through these longstanding, valued relationships, our company is widely recognized as offering a selection of rare and artisan specialty teas.  Our teas are harvested in the early spring when the leaves are tender and their flavors most pronounced. Silk Road Teas has been sourcing artisan and rare teas since 1991.  For a complete listing of our teas, visit our website:
