The Imperial Tea Court is an American company that sells special teas. It is owned by a private group, not by the public. They offer fine teas from countries like China, India, Taiwan, and Japan. These teas are sold to shops and directly to people in the U.S.
The Imperial Tea Court was the first real tea room in San Francisco's Chinatown. It opened in 1993. Here, you could enjoy many kinds of tea. These included black tea, green tea, white tea, yellow tea, jasmine tea, and puerh tea. The tea room became famous for its traditional way of serving tea.
The original Chinatown location is now closed. Today, you can find Imperial Tea Court in two places. One is in San Francisco's Ferry Building. The other is in Berkeley, a city nearby. In 2012, the company's founders, the Fongs, started San Francisco's first Tea Festival. This fun event took place at their Ferry Building spot.
