BLACK TEA

Black tea is the most oxidised form of tea. Unlike green tea, where the oxidation of the leaves is stopped with heat after they've been harvested and withered, black tea leaves are thoroughly rolled, which breaks open cell walls and exposes the enzymes responsible for oxidation. During this process, the leaves change from green to black and a full-bodied and broad aroma develops. When brewed, the tea is often orange or red, which is where the Chinese name for this tea (hong cha, meaning "red tea") comes from.

Laboratory Tests

We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements.

The elevation ensures an advantageous bracing climate with significant temperature fluctuations between day and night. The relatively high rainfall is balanced out by good drainage on the hill slopes.
