Our Mission is to provide the highest quality of luxury tea and accoutrements as we strive to produce blends that are unique to the palate and soothing to the soul.
I use to have a retail tea shop on La Conner’s historic waterfront where I created special blends that represented the local region. My blends were well received and flew off the shelf. My customers were pleased with a luxury product named for the area where their memories were made. In 2018 I left the tea business to pursue another dream but year year later returned to begin a luxury tea company based online. We love to travel and plan to see all of America by road with trailer in tow and to make connections all over the US to bring luxury tea to America’s palate.

Best of Health! inc., a Seattle tea-crafting company, creates the finest True Herbal Pu-erh and Oolong style teas, using wild-harvested plants from the Cascadia Mountains of the Washington State.
Our pu'erhs are crafted through the full, traditional multistep process of fermentation and aging, but with wild local botanicals instead of Camellia sinensis. Every leaf is hand-harvested from the untouched wilderness, ensuring a purity no certification can match.
Every sip brings the essence of the wild - the missing piece of your day - bringing a smile to your face. And the happiness we bring you is the health. Best of Health!
This isn’t just a tea brand - it’s a promise of purity, passion, and the power of True Herbal Teas. And of happiness.
New vendor for 2024
Enthea Teahouse has travelled directly to China for the last twelve years, building family style relationships with farmers and tea producers to source exclusively hand-made, small batch tea. They value whole spectrum trade from tea plant to tea pot, where the experience of brewing is enhanced by that intimate line of quality and care.
They have also cultivated relationships with local tea ware artisians in the Pacifc Northwest to offer primarily hand-made, locally-curated PNW tea ware in their 120 year old Victorian brick and mortar in SE Portland, Or. In this way, they hope to continue building bridges between Gongfu tea culture in China and here in the PNW to contribute to deepening community connection both locally and abroad through sharing quality hand-made tea in more meaningfully ways together.
