About Us
We both LOVE good Tea, and have been drinking Tea all our lives. When I first visited Siming in China in 2001, I was amazed at the variety and quality of the Teas available in every Tea House and restaurant there. Since arriving here, Siming has missed the Teas she used to drink in China.
We have been disappointed in the offerings from most local retail stores and restaurants. It seems that coffee is king and tea is considered a distant relative. Some restaurants offer GREAT food, Gourmet Coffee, and then, when it comes to Tea — they offer some ho-hum, bagged tea product. A few shops & restaurants DO offer excellent Tea, but they are few and far between and usually have a limited selection.
As a result of our experiences, we have decided to bring "The Joy of Tea" to the Tri-State region. And so, the "Spirit of the Lotus Tea Company" was born. We opened our first website in June, 2005 after spending the previous 18 months forging alliances with some of the best Tea Producers in Asia, as well as some of the finest Tea Importers here in the USA.
We started in 2005 with about 3 dozen different teas & tisanes. Now, we are proud to offer more than 250 Loose-Leaf Teas; Artisan & Blooming Teas; Chai and Herbal Tisanes, as well as Teapots, Teacups, Brewing Equipment, and brewing and storage accessories. We're constantly looking for new Teas and Tea Accessories to add to our product line.
If you'd like to sample any of our Teas, feel free to visit our shop, or call us at 301-991-4723 or send us an E-Mail, and we'll bring the Teas and all the necessary equipment to YOU (as long as you're within 30 miles of Hagerstown, MD!).
We'll be happy to show you how to brew, taste, sip and savor Tea in all its glory!
For more information about the Spirit of the Lotus and our selection of quality teas and tea products, browse our websites here and on Gourmet Food Mall, call us at 301-991-4723 or send us an Email.
We look forward to serving you soon!
