Why You'll Love This Brand
We love the passion that Glen and Dawa have for sourcing amazing puerh and teaching people about it! We recommend checking out their website to learn more about puerh - you can also find sample sizes of each tea, so it’s a great way to try different types and find the best fit for you! They also have beautiful teaware (including teapets!) and handmade tea pots - pretty much everything you need for a lovely gongfu set.
Crimson Lotus Tea is a Seattle area puerh tea import and education company founded by Glen Bowers and his wife Dawa Lamu. Glen grew up in Seattle and was a total coffee geek until he found puerh. Lamu is a Tibetan born in the Himalayas and raised in Yunnan, China. They exclusively deal in puerh tea and gongfu style brewing accessories, and they travel to Yunnan each year to live and work as close to the source as possible.
