Mike is Hawaii’s leading force in growing and developing oolong teas in Hawaii.
Since the reintroduction of tea in Hawaii, Mike Rikey established his family-owned business that became Volcano’s first commercial tea garden in production. He has provided Tea Hawaii & Company with fine handcrafted teas for a number of years. Volcano Tea Garden is located at 3600 foot elevation in Mauna Loa Estates on the slopes of Kilauea Volcano. The tea plants he cultivates are specific cultivars originating from China, Japan and Taiwan.
When Mike is not in his tea garden his other profession is that of a fine wood worker. To learn more about Mike’s woodworking please visit www.mikerileywoodworks.com
