In Pursuit of Tea Tea Club

What's in the box: Based on the shop's range, expect a rotating selection of single-origin loose leaf teas such as greens, oolongs, blacks or whites.

In Pursuit of Tea is a New York based importer that has sourced single-origin teas since the late 1990s, and its store shows that focus. The catalog favors specific origins over flavored blends. Recent arrivals include a Himalayan white, a Himalayan black, a Songzhen green and a High Mountain Shan Lin Xi oolong from Taiwan. The company also sells Marukyu Koyamaen matcha, teaware, and curated gift and tasting sets, which suggests the kind of selection a club shipment would follow. The site has beginner guides on sourcing and brewing, which help newer drinkers get more out of unfamiliar teas. One caution: the homepage we reviewed does not describe the tea club itself. Shipment frequency, quantities and pause or cancel terms were not visible there, so check the club page and its terms before you sign up. The shop has a large number of customer reviews, and they are mostly positive about flavor and service, but they cover individual products rather than the subscription. For anyone who wants to explore true origin teas from an established specialist, this is a credible choice. People who prefer flavored blends, or who want full plan details up front, may find it a weaker fit.
