Our Story

From a Single Cup of Pandan Green Tea

Every cup of tea holds a story, and ours began with a single cup of pandan green tea from Vietnam. That moment of discovery (the unexpected flavor, the cultural richness, the connection to place) became the foundation of Tea J Tea.

Founded by John Milton and Thuy Tran, Tea J Tea is a female and minority-owned business based in Washington state. As the only Vietnamese tea wholesaler in the region, we bring teas directly from Vietnamese farmers to tea lovers across the Pacific Northwest.

Our events are an extension of this mission, creating spaces where people can gather, learn, taste, and connect through the beauty of Vietnamese tea culture.

“We are passionate tea lovers who want nothing more than to bring the most amazing tea moments to people like you.”

John & Thuy, Co-Founders

Founded by John Milton and Thuy Tran, Tea J Tea maintains direct partnerships with Vietnamese tea farmers, ensuring fair trade and exceptional quality.
