About Us
Local Craft, Timeless Tradition
Silk+ Tea (also known as Silkplus Tea) is a local specialty tea brand based in Redmond, Washington! Every batch of our tea is proudly handcrafted, blended, and packaged locally. While we primarily sell online, you can also find us in person at select local makers' markets and pop-up events throughout the year.
A Modern Twist on Tradition
While traditional Hong Kong tea cafes (cha chaan tengs) often rely on pre-mixed, low-grade tea dust designed for speed and low cost—resulting in heavy, greasy, or overly bitter drinks—Silk+ Tea was born out of a decade-long passion to elevate Hong Kong-style tea into a true craft experience.
What makes our specialty tea unique is its smooth texture, rich depth of flavor, and pronounced aromas. We are on a mission to offer a modern, premium twist on tradition using only the cleanest, highest-quality natural ingredients.
From Leaf to Cup: The Silk+ Tea Difference
Rejecting mass-produced industrial blends, we source premium whole-leaf Ceylon teas from quality estates in Sri Lanka and custom-cut them in our US facility. Blended to our proprietary golden ratio, our tea extracts perfectly for unmatched balance, velvety smoothness, and a long-lasting, aromatic finish (回甘).
Whether you're brewing a classic milk tea, a zesty lemon tea, or a rich YuenYeung, Silk+ Tea honors the authentic roots of Hong Kong tea culture while raising the bar for modern tea lovers.
