Business Description Teance began nearly two decades ago as a passion project amongst friends in Berkeley, California, with the goal of providing a context for our customers to experience the finest teas in the world. We wanted to create a space to bridge the gap between the ancient and long-refined tea culture of the East and the tastes of the West, through traditional tea service, education, and storytelling.

We celebrate the time-honored craftsmanship of the artisanal tea farmers of China, Taiwan, India, and Japan. We have traveled to the finest tea growing regions of Asia to visit family-owned farms to select our handcrafted teas. Each tea in our collection is carefully curated for its complexity, exceptional taste, and spirit. We do this because we are committed to helping sustain these traditional communities and to sharing the treasures of the tea arts with you. And we truly believe that tea can change your life.

Holiday Promotion Our Tea Journey Collection sets are a selection of 4-5 teas that invite you on a tea journey of your choosing. Each set in our collection offers a carefully selected variety of teas in a hand-wrapped rice paper gift box.

Our Discovery and Adventure sets are for the tea-curious as well as the seasoned tea-lover who are wanting to get to know various tea regions, stories, flavors, and aromas.

With Cherished Classics, take a trip down memory lane with four classic Teance teas that have withstood the test of time. These teas have been customers’ favorites since Teance opened back in the early 2000s. With Floral Essence, bathe in the fragrant aromas of four beloved floral teas, each from a different tea category. Their floral aromas integrate beautifully with the tea leaves to create intentional and complementary flavor pairings.

There are more options of teas & teawares sold in-store and online, and we have gift cards for your loved ones as well. Our operation team, Chih-Hui, I-ting, Katie & Sonia, welcome you to visit our tea shop, sit back, relax, and enjoy a nice pot of tea!
