A myth going back to 2737 b.C deals with it’s true discovery.

When the leaves of a tree -a wild tall bush- fell into the boiling water Tea was created. The earliest reference to Tea in Europe appears in 1559 b.C.

We also offer delicious sweets and savories and invite you to take a moment to relax: This is Chado. Chado is pronounced “sado” in Japanese. It comes from the Chinese words CHA (“tea”) and TAO (“way”) and translates “way of tea.” It refers not just to the Japanese tea ceremony, but also to an ancient traditional practice that has been evolving for 5,000 years or more. Tea is quiet and calms us as we enjoy it. No matter who you are or where you live, tea is sure to make you feel better and more civilized. No pleasure is simpler, no luxury less expensive, no consciousness-altering agent more benign. Chado is a way to health and happiness that people have loved for thousands of years. Thank you for joining us. Your hosts, Reena, Devan & Tek A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHADO Chado opened on West 3rd Street in 1990 as a small, almost quaint tearoom with few tables, but with 300 canisters of teas from all over the globe lining the walls. In 1993, Reena Shah and her husband, Devan, acquired Chado and began quietly revolutionizing how people in greater Los Angeles think of tea.

    Welcome to the Mark T. Wendell Tea Company’s 2020 Catalog As one of the country’s oldest and storied tea importers, the Mark T. Wendell Tea Company has been providing fine teas to tea enthusiasts for over a century. We are pleased to offer a full range of estate grown specialty teas, signature tea blends, herbal and fruit tisanes, imported packaged tea brands, as well as a wide selection of uniquely crafted teapots and tea brewing accessories. Our philosophy is to select and purchase only the highest quality whole leaf teas from tea gardens and tea importers located around the world and to offer them to tea enthusiasts with a distinct focus on each customer’s satisfaction. The remarkable world of healthy and invigorating specialty teas has never been so accessible! Importing our tea offerings over the past year has been challenging on several fronts, all unprecedented in recent memory. Our government’s implementation of an import tax on Chinese teas left us with varying price increases on not only teas from China, but many teas produced in other countries. There is no replacement for authentic Chinese teas, so we have tried to minimize these sharp price increases as best we can without sacrificing the quality that stands behind our brand. New for 2020, our focus on quality and ingenuity has allowed us to represent two unique British tea brands as their US distributor. With fun flavors and eco- friendly packaging, the range of Hampstead Organic & Biodynamic Teas and We Are Tea offerings now spotlight our imported packaged brand selections.
