Life is Too Short to Drink Ordinary Tea

LOCAL, FRESH FROM THE HARVEST TEAS CRAFTED BY WANG AND DICKERSON

impossible to find. The best tea typically sells out in Asia and never makes it to America.

I was certified as a tea master in Taiwan. Taiwan produces the finest oolong tea in the world. I had one goal in mind when I started Wang & Dickerson Tea in 2014: to import the best quality tea in order to elevate the tea drinking experience in America because “Life is too short to drink ordinary tea.” I sincerely hope that my tea mission will pay homage to my Taiwanese heritage.

In Asia, the culture of fine tea is very similar to the fine wine culture in the western world. As with fine wine, the appreciation of fine tea is about the pleasure of the experience, the delightful aromas, and the subtle nuances of flavor. Tea lovers in Vero Beach have enjoyed our private tea workshops where I show them how professional tea tasters evaluate tea. I love to see the difference it makes when people understand and fully experience all that premium tea has to offer.

I insist that herbal tea should be fresh, pure, and clean. I am determined to work exclusively with U.S. growers who emphasize sustainable agriculture. I blend my herbal tea by hand in Vero Beach in small batches.

I encourage you to slow down for those precious minutes when you enjoy a cup of our tea. Relax and experience that lingering feeling of well-being that lasts long after the teapot is empty!

You can find our small-batch fine tea locally at Ryder’s Gourmet Market, Garden of Esther Gourmet Market, Level Yoga, Endo50 Fitness, Salt Spa, and more of our amazing local partners.

In America, we can enjoy the best of the best from around the world. From fine wines to luxury automobiles, premium versions of everything are available almost anywhere in the U.S. Yet for some reason, truly fine tea is almost

I travel around the world to meet tea growers and herb growers in person every year. I visit their tea gardens and herb farms in order to verify their agricultural and production processes. I have sampled thousands of cups of tea with dozens of tea growers. I find out so much more when I look them in the eye as I taste their tea. I currently import tea from a small, elite group of artisans who I trust, respect, and admire.

While premium oolong tea remains our specialty, Wang and Dickerson has expanded to offer a variety of fine traditional teas and premium herbal teas. With herbs,
