Ten Ren's Tea (also known as Tian Ren's Tea) is a famous company from Taiwan. It is known for selling high-quality tea and ginseng products to people all over the world.
The Story of Ten Ren's Tea
Ten Ren's Tea was started in 1953 in Taiwan by a man named Ray Ho Lee. The company grew and opened many stores.
In the United States, it runs special teahouses called "Cha for Tea" in Southern California. It also has "Ten Ren's Tea" stores in California and New York.
A big part of the company's work is now in China. This is done through a related company called the Ten Fu Group. This group uses Taiwanese tea-making skills to produce and sell tea in mainland China.
By 2003, Ten Ren's Tea had 113 stores around the globe, making it the biggest tea shop chain in Taiwan at the time.
Tea Shops Around the World
Ten Ren's Tea has shops in many countries, including Australia, Japan, Canada, Malaysia, and the United States.
The company is also dedicated to teaching people about tea. In 1980, it started the Lu-Yu Tea Culture Institute, a center for learning about the art of tea. Later, in 2007, the Ten Fu Group opened the Tenfu Tea College in China, a school all about tea. As of 2010, the Ten Fu Group had more than 1,000 stores in China.
Ten Ren's Tea even appeared on TV! A store in Vancouver, Canada, was a challenge location on an episode of the show The Amazing Race Canada.
