Our Story
How It Started
In 2017, three young tea enthusiasts wanted to share their love for high-quality tea with others and started the We Are One teashop in a small alley in Saigon, Vietnam. We ensured out tea are grown and processed without any chemicals, to bring the best flavor and taste to our customers.
With our experience in the food & beverage industry, we also opened our barista school WAO Barista in 2017 to train barista on tea, coffee, and help entrepreneurs succeed. Our graduates have won multiple accolades in international barista championships and have opened more than 300 successful tea and coffee shops.
Fast forward to 2024, We Are One is now the leading tea producer in Vietnam, supplying more than 4,000 tea and coffee shops. In August 2024, we opened our office in Houston, TX to bring our high-quality tea and our industry expertise to America.
Our Values
Our tea comes from Bao Loc, Lam Dong, Vietnam, an area well known for high-quality, flavorful tea leaves. We are a Direct Trade producer: our tea comes directly from Vietnamese farmers to global consumers.
We achieve a world-class quality for our tea thanks to a vertically integrated business model: we grow, harvest, process, package, and distribute our tea. We ensure that our tea satisfy:
- No pesticide use
- “1 bud 2 leaves” pluck
