Joyce, Jing Mai Mountain
Faces in Tea – Meet Joyce

Joyce is our tea source for our teas from Yunnan, China. All of our ancient tea tree tea comes from Joyce and her family. Joyce is Taiwanese and married into a tea family. She and her husband own tea farms in Taiwan, Thailand, and Yunnan. She graciously hosted us and took time out of her busy schedule when we visited the tea farm in China.

The Chinese government asked Joyce and her husband to manage the ancient tea tree tea farm. They are widely respected for the quality of tea they produce and their stewardship to the farms they run. This focus on detail and quality is evident in all the tea we source from her. The tea is consistent in flavor and leaf shape. 

We are fortunate to carry such premium teas in Missoula, Montana.

I had a friend share some of their instant golden latte mix with me and it is amazing. I suffer from really bad inflammation in my hands and this calms it down so well. It is also very delicious so I just had to get some of my own. They also sent me some stickers, a nice note and a sample. It was so sweet. My cat definitely approves. Thank you!

Best store in Montana possibly in all of the United States. I don't know. This is the first Gong Fu tea shop I've ever been to. I came in for a matcha whisk because I donated mine to a museum. Before I left a random customer who was introduced to me as a regular bought me tea. I hugged him which isn't something I normally do. But I was incredibly thankful. Then the man behind the counter gave me a free sample. I went in looking for a simple tool and left with tea and a happy spirit. I am looking forward to making it back as soon as possible! I loved it. I think it will always hold a special place in my blood pumping organ.

I've been going to Lake Missoula Tea Company for years, and recently have had the privilege of putting some of their tea in my store. The quality of the tea is fantastic, and the blends are delightful. I have also attended one of their tasting / learning events and it was great. I highly recommend their downtown store for meeting with friends, family or even just for a nice place to go and have a cup of perfectly brewed tea.
