300 loose-leaf teas, imported the old way.
Long before tea bags took over, Prestogeorge was importing loose leaf by the chest. The wall of tins at Penn Avenue is still one of the largest selections in Pennsylvania.
Prestogeorge stocks more than 300 loose-leaf teas — black, green, oolong, white, herbal, fruit and wellness botanicals — imported and blended at 1719 Penn Ave in Pittsburgh’s Strip District, available in-store and shipped nationwide.

Every tin tells you where it’s been.
One of the oldest loose tea importers in Pittsburgh didn’t get that way by following trends. The tea wall grew the same way the coffee wall did — one customer request, one discovery, one generation at a time.
Today it runs from breakfast blacks and jasmine greens to magnolia-scented oolongs, flowering teas, and single botanicals you simply won’t find in a grocery aisle.
- Classic black, green, oolong and white teas
- Herbal, fruit and wellness infusions
- Chai, maté and house-blended specialties
- Single botanicals — chamomile, hibiscus, jasmine flowers, linden blossom and more

Tea questions, answered
Whole leaves carry more oils and flavor than the dust and fannings that fill most bags, and they can be re-steeped. By the cup, good loose leaf usually costs less than premium bags — and tastes like a different drink entirely.
A couple of ounces per variety. An ounce brews roughly 10–15 cups depending on the tea, so a small purchase lets you taste several styles before committing to a favorite.
Plenty — chamomile, hibiscus, peppermint, rooibos-style and fruit infusions, plus low-caffeine whites and greens if you want just a whisper.
Airtight, opaque and cool — away from light, moisture and strong odors. Stored well, most teas keep beautifully for a year or more. A proper tin (we sell those too) is the easiest answer.
Yes — every tea on the wall can be ordered online and shipped anywhere in the country, packed the same day it’s weighed out.
