History:
Regal Tea Company is owned and operated by the first generation tea producers approximately 6 years ago. It began in 1999 when the Tran family migrated to New York City. They came from Ho Chi Minh City, the bustling and industrious center of Viet Nam. Mr. Tran was nostalgia for his homeland when his family first arrived. He had the longing to taste the rich smooth taste of Vietnamese tea again. He missed the fun teatime he spent with his friends and family in his country.
Drinking tea is part of Vietnamese culture. It has its tradition deeply rooted in social and cultural ceremonies. Vietnamese people tend to drink several cups per day. They drink tea with family in the early morning, at work with co-workers for lunch, and at home again when they get off work.
He was unable to find any local teahouse where it would offer him the sense of “Viet Nam” in NYC. “People say that if you drink Vietnamese tea, you’ll be able to get a sense of Viet Nam.” He was searching the feeling of being in his homeland again. Despite that there were plenty of Vietnamese restaurants, none offered authentic Vietnamese tea as a beverage. Disappointed and frustrated, Mr. Tran set out a goal to make sure that there would be Vietnamese teahouses in NY City where overseas Vietnamese and foreigners would able to go to enjoy the taste of Vietnamese teas with their family and friends. He foresaw that Vietnamese tea would be a respected and recognized brand on the international scene.
Regal has quickly expanded to 5 retail stores in the tri-states areas. The company has been progressively developed. It owns and operates 1 manufacturing plant in
Viet Nam, incorporating modern technology into traditional methods of processing tea leaves. In NYC, the headquarters operates a tea packaging plant to ensure the quality of tea bags and freshness of the tea leaves. Regal has the reputation for being the highest premier supplier for Vietnamese tea.
Regal is committed to research and development of new seedlings and application of advanced agriculture farming practices. It always considers research and development as one of the important activities to improve the products’ quality and satisfy customers. It has a close monitoring of the production process from the raw material to the finished products. Regal recruits the best scientists in the country to develop high advanced quality seeds.
Regal opened its first location in New York City in 2000. It began to provide teas to restaurants, bars and supermarket in 2001. In the same period, it launched its website www.regaltea.com with services to 50 states and other countries. In 2002, it opened it first licensed teahouse at Stony Brook University.
