Bon Teavant seeks to promote the products
and ideas of tea merchants who source their teas directly from Asia,
with a strong emphasis on healthy, organic, handcrafted, and simply
fascinating teas and tea ware.
It is intended to inspire those
interested in developing their knowledge and experience with high
quality tea and teaware, and to be a reference and forum for sharing
these experiences with others.
Bon Teavant is the offering of photographer, writer, and tea connoisseur Jennifer Sauer, who was so enchanted by the blossoming tea culture in her home base of San Francisco that she decided to write a book about it. In 2007 The Way to Tea: Your Adventure Guide to San Francisco Tea Culture was published.
Some years passed, and that was not enough. Having met so many fine tea people, she wanted to find a way to continue to share the knowledge, experiences ideas and products of her new tea friends. Bon Teavant Media and Bon Teavant Market are the outcome of this vision.
