Tea Hawaii & Company
Wife and husband team Eva Lee and Chiu Leong are the founders of Tea Hawaii & Company. In addition to being involved daily in every aspect of tea growing in Hawaii – from nursery propagation to marketing homegrown tea – they are also very active advocates in the building of tea agriculture industry that is unique to Hawaii. Their belief that Hawaii could play a significant role in furthering tea culture in the world has inspired their ongoing collaboration with fellow growers, institutions and researchers worldwide. Their tea estate is situated in a rainforest on the summit of Kilauea on Hawaii Island. To expand offerings of rare, premium Hawaii grown teas, their company has partnered with fellow tea growers John Cross, Sen Woo Fang, and Mike Riley. All of their tea is single estate, whole leaf, organically grown. They also make available fresh tea leaves for culinary use, by arrangement.
