Description:
There is a confusing array of teas on the market today. Most tea companies offer you a huge range from the mediocre to the good. Rare Tea is not that sort of company. We sample the finest and just select the best.
Our trade is fair. We don't haggle with our farmers. We pay them what they ask.
"I have been personally sourcing all our teas since 2004 . I travel to small mountain tea gardens across China, India and Africa. Our teas are not mass-produced in large industrial gardens. These whole leaves and tips are skilfully produced by artisans and tea masters.
"Tea may come from the same regions and have the same name but not all tea is equal. It's rather like fine wine or champagne: in a terroir there may be many producers growing many grapes but they don't, of course, all produce the same wine.
"Genuinely rare and incredible, teas of these qualities are hard to find and only produced in extremely small quantities."
Henrietta Lovell (Founder and Director of Rare Tea Co.)
