About Flying Fish Tea Co.

Our story begins in 1851 during a golden age of tea trade when the clipper named "Flying Fish" was launched at the shipyard in East Boston, Massachusetts. In the age of tea clippers, speed and quality produce were of the utmost importance. A fast early arriving ship bringing only the best first flush tea could earn it's building costs in a single voyage. The "tea races" were heavily contested and followed by worldwide press. "Flying Fish" won many of the races against the finest clippers of the time bringing only the finest tea for discerning clientele. Today we continue this legacy bringing you only the finest, carefully sourced and hand selected produce.Read their story
