From a selection of the most lovingly blended English Breakfast teas to the most delicious selection of unique, single estate green teas, white teas, oolongs, black teas, pu'er and herbal tea infusions we hope to have everything here to make your heart sing.
We also seek out the best teapots, teacups, tea strainers and tea sets to bring you everything you need to enjoy the simple luxury of loose leaf tea.
We travel the world in search of unique tea gardens and the skilled men and women who craft the finest loose leaf tea – where each harvest captures the most delicious flavours that their particular corner of the world can offer.
We have been working directly with our loose leaf tea farmers since 2004, building long-term relationships. We don't buy from brokers, middle-men or commodity markets. We keep the value of their tea with the people who make it.
We support the 3 pillars of sustainability: environmental, economic and social. Our loose leaf teas are grown without pesticides and herbicides. No teabags with bleaches, glues and micro-plastics that waste precious resources for single use.
Supporting sustainable development and long term social change by reinvesting a direct percentage of all Rare Tea revenue into educational scholarships on our partner farms.
