Fancy a Spot of Tea? [VIDEO]

The owners of Bird Pick Tea & Herb say their companies name originates from a legend told by their grandfather “about an ancient practice of cultivating the finest tea leaves. Extraordinary birds with acute senses would pick out the best leaves for their own nourishment.”

The company began back in 1985 as a small herbal shop in Los Angeles’ Chinatown, and has since expanded. All of the company’s teas are imported directly from their estates in China, which includes an organic tea garden.

This video takes a look inside the Westfield Culver City branch of Bird Pick Tea & Herb, and shows that there’s a tea designed for every palate and pretty much every need.
