{"title":"Silk Road Teas","description":"\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1992 by David Lee Hoffman, Silk Road Teas is a family-owned tea company based in San Rafael, California, specializing in rare and traditionally crafted Chinese teas. The company was among the early American importers to seek out small farms and individual tea makers in China, introducing varieties seldom available outside their regions of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Silk Road Teas continues this approach under the ownership of the Heagerty family. Each spring, the company travels to China's tea-growing provinces to taste new harvests and purchase small lots directly from farmers, cooperatives, and established producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts collection includes green, white, black, oolong, and pu'er teas, with particular attention to early spring harvests. Many are single-origin and unblended, allowing the characteristics of the cultivar, growing region, and processing method to remain distinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond sourcing, Silk Road Teas has made inclusive employment part of its business. Rather than automating certain packaging operations, the company employs adults with disabilities to pack tea sachets and boxes, creating meaningful work within its local community. This commitment earned Silk Road Teas the Employer of the Year Award from Integrated Community Services, recognizing its efforts to provide employment opportunities that support independence and participation in the workforce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company's approach connects traditional Chinese tea craftsmanship with a deliberate commitment to the people involved in bringing those teas to market.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"silk-road-teas-lot-no-48-earl-grey-organic-black-tea","title":"Silk Road Teas Lot No. 48 Earl Grey Organic Black Tea","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSince 1991, Silk Road Teas has traveled through China’s provinces, visiting small farms, out-of-the-way markets and specialty tea makers in search of distinctive teas.
