Description

The Voice of Tea Lands

The Tea Biz Portal is a global resource for sharing commercial data and science-based insights. The portal combines weekly news that most impacts the tea industry from the Tea Biz Podcast and Blog with Tea Journey, a magazine for tea enthusiasts filled with nuanced articles about the places and people who passionately live a life of tea. 

Tea is a fascinating and intricate topic… far more complex than one person can master. Our expertise resides in professionals who know the tea lands from birth and speak the native tongue. We believe that transparency is grounded in authentic storytelling, which is why the Tea Biz Portal enlists 40 voices skilled in 12 languages to tell the story of tea.

As small niche publications, Tea Journey and the Tea Biz Podcast and Blog rely on reader contributions for most of our income. Please consider donating to help pay the writers and staff that help bring our unique tea content from around the globe. We really appreciate it.
