ABOUT US

I'm Gigi Campbell owner of Gigi's Tea Shop, a home based business, specializing in personalized shopping of Premium teas from around the world.

My first introduction to tea was in 1981when I was a missionary nurse. A fellow missionary who transferred from India brought with her "the best tea from India" . They did not look like the Lipton tea in a bag that I was familiar with. These were loose dark leaves in a big thick paper bag. She made "milk tea" or chai like she was showed in India. It was the most delicious drink I've ever tasted and a most special treat in the tribes at that time. Unfortunately the big bag of tea leaves were consumed.......

Fast forward to 1984 when I immigrated to the USA where people either drink coffee or tea. I preferred tea. The more I drank Tea the more pleasure I got from it. I fell in love with Tea- sipping my way... I discovered it calms me in this fast pace and busy world, soothes my soul and nurtures my spirit as I take time for "Tea" and experience all it's splendor. As I created my tea time experience, I developed a sophisticated taste for Premium Loose Tea Leaves.

I enhanced this experience with my collection of beautiful tea cups, tea pots, tea accessories and delicious food, by myself or with

the company of others.

I educated myself about Tea, it's origin, the art and science of tea, and it's benefits to the body, mind and soul, by reading books, magazines, attending and hosting tea parties, visiting tea rooms in my travels here & abroad and tea tasting of at least 100 teas. I have attended the World Tea Expo in 2015 & 2016 where I attended work shops, seminars, learned from tea experts, sommeliers, tea growers, blenders, manufactures and vendors from around the world.

My passion for Tea inspired me to share what I have. I decided to make it my mission to promote tea appreciation through education, tasting and providing Quality Premium Teas from around the world.

My job is to seek tea distibutors, blenders and manufactures that only get their teas from the finest tea gardens in the world and meet the superior standards for freshness, flavor, quality, sustainability and fair trade.

My ultimate goal is to have a full service Tea room. But since I have not found that perfect destination yet I want to start this small endeavor of Tea shop @ home. This is not your ordinary Tea shop. Mine's will be held in the comfort of my home or yours when you host your own Tea Party. This is not an ordinary Tea party because it includes Tealicious Food, Tea tasting (3-4 kinds at a time), Tea education (30 min) and Shopping for Quality Premium Handcrafted Teas from around the world and Tea wares and accesories.

This is an exclusive Tea party of 20-25 guests in order for me to give a personalized service. I will hold tea party once a month in my home and I'm available for other's to host a party for my Tea Shop @ home. Book your own Tea party now and receive FREE Teas!

For now I'm the only "staff" but with the support & help of my husband, son & daughter I will provide you a personalized Tea experience.

I want to thank my family and friends who have prayed, supported and encouraged me to fulfill my dream and share my passion for

TEA

" Tea is so much more than a beverage to quench thirst, it soothes the soul & nurtures the spirit one sip @ a time"
