ABOUT TAP TWICE TEA
Our name comes from the Chinese tea ceremony known as Gong Fu Cha: When a tea cup is filled, custom is to tap twice on the tea table with one’s middle and forefinger together to show gratitude. Founders Gordie Nathan and Jody Beavers became acquainted at tea gatherings in San Francisco, and loved how tea brought people together, lightened moods, and facilitated meaningful conversations. We at Tap Twice Tea travel throughout the world, working directly with farmers and producers to source the very best teas we can, from the very best people. We aim to create delicious blends that are good for you and may provide a variety of health benefits.
