The Green Teahouse

The Green Teahouse THE GREEN TEAHOUSE was inspired by two brothers and a sister's passion for unique and premium teas. In 2009, The Green Teahouse was established.

Since youth they were enamored with their time-honored Chinese tradition of drinking fresh loose tea. Such love fostered their passion and created a renewed respect and appreciation for their culture. Aspiring to share their heritage and rich knowledge of fine tea, while recognizing America's health awareness, they ventured to the Western world. The brothers-sister team ushered in a new tradition

while realizing a childhood dream. Today the fruits of their labor can be enjoyed in America and throughout the world; proudly offering only the finest teas worthy of bearing The Green Teahouse name. Taste the difference that extraordinary quality and guaranteed freshness can make in your cup! Share the dream! Share the passion!

What I didn’t understand yet was that my American customers already had their own way of enjoying tea.

They were comfortable with larger mugs and teapots, while I had grown up drinking tea from much smaller Chinese teacups.

So I changed.
And something changed—not only in my business, but in me.

I learned that sharing my culture didn’t mean asking others to experience it exactly the way I did.

I could preserve what was meaningful while also embracing the culture around me.

Sometimes survival requires us to bend without breaking.
When something isn’t working, it doesn’t always mean we’ve reached the end.

It may simply be an invitation to adjust, learn, and turn the page.

Sometimes the plan that didn’t work is what leads us into the chapter that will. 🍵🌿

Friend, have you ever had something not go according to plan, only to realize later that it led you somewhere better?

Friends, this is Ting, please help me create my next tea! 🌿🍵
I’m working on a blend inspired by traditional Chinese herbal tea, this tea helps to release the feeling of the body overheated due to lack of sleep, skin irritation/ inflammation, dried / itchy eyes, heavy coated tongue, yellow urinate / UTI symptoms etc., but I want to make the flavor something YOU would genuinely enjoy drinking.

If you could choose, which would you reach for?
🍒 Cherry — fruity & slightly tart
🍋 Lemon — bright & refreshing

Cherry or Lemon?
Tell me in the comments—I may create the winning flavor!
Thank you❤️
Ting

Before rushing into September, I hope you give yourself a little time today to slow down, make something you love to drink, and appreciate the season you just lived through.

Some seasons are for accomplishing.
Some are simply for growing.

Dear friend, this is Ting. What’s one thing you’re grateful for this August that makes your heart smile ☺️✨

Fresh pear + delicate Silver Needle white tea creates a naturally light, subtly sweet and refreshing tea.

In Chinese food therapy, pear is traditionally enjoyed to help moisten dryness and soothe the throat.

Hi this Ting. I hope you will save this and try a warm pot for yourself this coming season ✨☺️
With love 💕

Recipe:
A sliced pear ( Seckel is sweeter)
4 cups water
1 Tbsp Silver Needle White Tea
1 tbsp your favorite fruit tea ( I used Sapphire Cider Fruit Tea for extra antioxidants and relaxing properties, you can find this tea from the website linked in bio)

Instructions:
1. Being all ingredients to boil
2. Turn off heat and let it sit for 5-8 min.
3. Add 1 tbsp of honey
Enjoy hot or pour on ice 😊

Your evening doesn’t always need to be productive.

Sometimes, a warm cup of tea and a few quiet minutes are enough to help you slow down, unwind, and end the day gently ☺️✨🌙

Friends, I’m happy to say that this has made such a difference in my own morning routine!

One of the reasons I started blending different flavored Pu-erh teas 17 years ago was because of my own experience with this tea.

Something I didn’t mention in the video: in China, fermented Pu-erh tea is traditionally enjoyed after a rich or heavy meal, especially when you’re feeling overly full or bloated 🤰

This is my personal experience, and everyone’s body is different, but I hope sharing my story helps someone who has been struggling like I was.

😊Hi this is Ting.If you are curious about Pu-erh? Visit the link in my bio to explore the different Pu-erh teas I’ve created.

If you drink about 1 tsp of matcha in the morning (roughly 2 grams), you may get:

• Steady alertness and focus: Matcha provides caffeine, while L-theanine may promote a calmer, more focused state.

• A meaningful dose of antioxidants: Because you consume the powdered leaf rather than just an infusion, matcha is particularly rich in catechins such as EGCG.

• Possible metabolic and cardiovascular benefits: Regular green-tea consumption is associated with favorable cardiovascular and metabolic markers, although matcha itself isn’t a weight-loss treatment.

• A relatively moderate caffeine dose: A teaspoon often provides roughly 40–70 mg caffeine. That’s typically less than an 8-oz brewed coffee.

I thought I’d have figured it all out by now.
But 17 years later, I’m still working almost nonstop some days—rushing through meals, trying to finish yesterday’s work while new challenges are already waiting for me today. There always seems to be something that needs my attention.

2. When you run a small business, especially a very small one, you wear so many hats. Over the years, many of my own interests, hobbies, and personal plans have been pushed aside because the business needed me.

3. I don’t have the retirement plan or emergency plan I thought I would have by now. Sometimes I find myself wondering, What would happen to everything if I got sick and couldn’t work?

4. As an immigrant, i wanted so badly to make my parents proud.
Part of me always wanted to show them that all these years of hard work had become something meaningful. They passed away before I had the chance to truly prove that to them. That is something I still carry in my heart.

5. Yes, sometimes I wonder if I should give it all up and find a 9-to-5 job.
There are days when I think about how much simpler life might be. But when I imagine actually letting go of the business I’ve spent 17 years building, I’m not ready to walk away.

I’m learning that maybe being a small business owner was never supposed to feel easy or completely “figured out.” —
I get to make my own decisions.
I get to build something Im passionate. 
I don’t have to live with the fear of someone suddenly telling me I no longer have a job.

For all the struggles, I still feel incredibly blessed.

So if you’re a small business owner and you’re uncertain about the future, or sometimes wondering whether you should keep going—you’re probably not the only one.

Working for yourself can be incredibly hard.
But it can also be an incredible blessing.
Sometimes we just have to remember to see both sides. 🤍

Hi this Ting, if any of this feels similar, follow along, you are not along in this small business journey, and I would love to hear what it’s being like for you 😊

Go back to your day a little more refreshed—take a few quiet minutes. Sip something warm. Breathe.

Friend, sometimes a small pause is exactly what we need to keep going.🍵☕️

What are you sipping today—tea or coffee?

 

08/23/2026

My favorite type of morning ☺️

A cup of matcha. Flowers in the garden.
A gentle breeze.
Nothing fancy—just taking a moment to notice what’s already around me. 🍵🌿

My friend, life doesn’t have to be perfect before we allow ourselves to enjoy it.

Enjoy the ordinary day God has given you—A gentle reminders to slow down and appreciate life, follow along.
I’d love to share a cup of tea with you here.
Ting🤍
