To my Tea Drinking Friends,

Welcome to Tea Garden Journeys. We offer this journal as an opportunity for you to experience the teas I’ve discovered on my travels in tea gardens throughout Asia.

My love affair with tea started in the 70s when I first became more aware of green tea and its reputed health benefits. My infatuation with tea quickly moved from health interest to pleasure and on to a passionate dedication.


I became a life-long student of tea, and ultimately decided to spend my life working with tea and the global tea community every day. I’ve created a mission of helping my tea friends around the world with “Health, Enjoyment, and Quality of Life through Tea”.

I travel the tea gardens of Asia looking for regionally famous, very special micro-climate teas, grown by family farms and small growers using techniques developed over centuries. I’ve selected all of our teas. The variety and quality are exceptional, and are a treat for those that want to experience authentic flavor from unique tea gardens throughout the world.

It is with great pride and pleasure that my partner Judy, the ZGC team, and I bring these wonderful teas to you.

Sincerely,
Philip Parda
