PALM BEACH, Fla., June 5, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Rishi Tea, the International Luxury Hotel Association's Official Tea Partner, have launched a new Hospitality Tea Service Collection designed for hospitality, fine dining and cafés, and are inviting decision-makers in the hotel and hospitality industry to try a sample of their handcrafted tea.

Their commitment to creating a truly artisan, yet reasonably priced tea has taken them on a journey, through China, Taiwan, Japan, Nepal, Thailand, India, Vietnam and Laos, developing trusted and enduring relationships with the traders and growers integral to their single source teas, often working side by side in the tea fields with their network of growers.

Rishi's new line of tea Service and Presentation items for loose leaf tea and sachets includes an exciting collaboration with Peg and Awl, who specialize in transforming abandoned items into treasures.

"We consulted with top foodservice industry partners at forward-thinking restaurants and hotels to reset the standards for exceptional tea service," says Rishi VP of Sales Benjamin Harrison.
