Chinese and Taiwanese teas are provided by Rivers and Lakes Tea, a local direct-source merchant providing high-quality tea free of pesticides from the high mountains of Asia. Herbal tisanes are provided by Medicine From Mother, a local woman-owned herbalism business sourcing only organic and wild-harvested ingredients. Asheville Dispensary is the only place currently providing tea service with Rivers & Lakes and Medicine From Mother teas.
We serve Gongfucha, the mindful art of Chinese tea service. Gongfu-style tea is steeped multiple times in short infusions, allowing all the constituents to be pulled out gradually and powerfully. Gongfucha allows one to experience the wide variety of flavors and aromas over time, inviting us to slow down and experience our tea in fuller form.
Gongfucha can be experienced on one’s own or with a group at any time. We offer tea service during all business hours. Join us for Community Tea Service every other Friday from 5-7. This event is always free, with a variety of our house teas served Gongfu-style.
We sell all teas including herbal and Chinese/ Taiwanese teas to take home in small quantities or bulk. Please ask a staff member for pricing.
