About Us

Melissa Choi is honoring a family tradition.

Growing up around her Chinese grandmother, Melissa would be encouraged to drink up to five cups of Jasmine tea a day. "My grandmother was a living testament to the benefits of green tea. She was healthy and had beautiful skin, even at the age of seventy-five", says Melissa who recalls her grandmother’s mantra fondly; "Drinking jasmine tea is good for your skin and will make you slim."

After moving to London several years ago, Melissa finds herself continuing this very tradition by offering green tea to friends who visit her home. "I enjoy serving up my jasmine tea as the elixir of life to my friends," she says.

Today, Melissa celebrates the Choi Family heritage and their love affair with Chinese tea by bringing you her exquisite range of beautifully packaged healthy eco friendly teas.

"I love the ritual of drinking Chinese tea. The way the flowering tea bulb beautifully unfurls when submerged in water brings back wonderful memories for me," says Melissa.

As founder of Choi Time, Melissa has seen her beloved Chinese tea brand grow from its early roots in 2004 into an internationally respected and highly reputable company today.
