When you’ve been buying Indian teas as long as we have, you can taste the difference rain, sunlight and soil make. We primarily source exceptional Assams and Darjeelings, with some seasonal Dooars when conditions are optimal.

Did You Know?

Orange Pekoe is the highest grade of whole, large, unbroken tea leaves

Any whole black tea can be Orange Pekoe grade, regardless of flavor. Orange refers to the royal House of Orange in the Netherlands which was important at the beginning of tea drinking in Europe. And Pekoe is a mispronunciation of a Chinese word referring to hairy tea buds, which is a sign of quality.
