Our story

The Back Story

He Cha Ba 喝茶吧! was founded by Clara Tsai at the end of 2021. Our tea shop strives to provide delicious, responsibly sourced, and affordable Taiwanese tea in the United States. 

Clara is from a Taiwanese family that loves tea and has been in wholesale tea business for 40 years in Asia. Because great tea is hard to find in the US, for the past 20 years, her family has been sending her tea from Taiwan, especially Oolong. This tea has always been from small batches, selected and roasted just for family and friends to enjoy. 

In 2021, we started to make Taiwanese tea available in the United States for anyone! The principal of small batch production, Taiwanese craftsmanship, and high quality, which was once reserved for family and friends, remains the guiding tenet for our tea shop.

 

What is He Cha Ba 喝茶吧 !

He Cha Ba means Let's Drink Tea in Mandarin. This saying encompasses the spirit of getting together and enjoying the time over a pot of fragrant and smooth tea. We want to bring the same spirit to the United States with our tea.
