Té Company

Té Company is a New York–based tea company devoted to Taiwanese tea, founded in 2012 by Elena Liao and Frederico Ribeiro. Their work centers on sourcing exceptional teas directly from small farms in Taiwan, with a focus on clarity, craft, and respect for traditional tea-making.

At their tea room in New York City, Té Company treats tea as a complete experience. Teas are brewed with precision and intention, highlighting the depth and nuance of Taiwanese oolongs, black teas, and green teas that are still relatively rare in the U.S. market. The approach is thoughtful rather than ceremonial, emphasizing flavor, origin, and how tea fits naturally into everyday life.

That same philosophy extends to their baked goods. Té Company’s cookies and tea snacks are developed specifically to pair with tea, drawing inspiration from Taiwanese flavors and classic pastry forms. Items like their pineapple and calamansi linzer cookies reinterpret traditional Taiwanese sweets with a lighter touch, designed to complement, not overpower, a cup of tea.

Whether through tea or food, Té Company’s work is about slowing down, paying attention, and creating space for flavor to unfold. It’s a modern expression of Taiwanese tea culture, rooted in origin, craft, and quiet hospitality.
