Intelligentsia the coffee company in CA? The one you work for?

I don't work for Intelligentsia. I just know they have good tea and I have questioned their tea buyer about their buying model, which is committed to quality and sustainability. I only wish that I worked for them.

As far as Seven Cups, I don't think that the two companies work together at all. For one thing, they have a very different definition on what a good tieguanyin should be, and they recommend starkly different methods of brewing tea.
