Two Leaves and a Bud is an independent tea company based in Colorado with a mission to make great tea accessible to everyone while doing their part to protect the environment. While traveling in Asia Two Leaves' founder, Richard, was introduced to fresh, whole-leaf tea and fell in love instantly. His knowledge and passion for tea grew as he spent time in Sri Lanka, India, and China, cultivating relationships with organic tea farmers. He then decided to dedicate himself to making the tea he discovered in Asia accessible in the States. Two Leaves also believes that every single decision that goes into making the perfect cup of tea matters, from supporting quality organic growers, to supporting the local community and  customers.
