Sharing is Happiness

Tea Guardian is a self-financed, independent reference guide created with the initiative to promote better understanding of tea, the daily beverage that so many have come to misunderstand. By sharing with the readers unbiased and in-depth information, we aim at empowering them with the ability to find and enjoy better quality tea. We hope our articles are useful also for people of the tea trade and the academics.

Tea Guardian was created and founded by veteran tea specialist Leo Kwan in Hong Kong.
