Did you know that green tea comes from the same plant as black tea? In fact, one of the most amazing things about tea is that whether it’s black, green, white or oolong, it ALL comes from the same plant; camellia sinensis (or the tea bush to you and me). The type of tea you end up simply depends on the processes the leaf goes through once it’s picked. Rooibos and herbals aren’t technically ‘teas’ at all, because they don’t come from the tea bush – but more on that later!
It will be no surprise to you all, but we have a whole team of fully fledged tea tasters – aprons, spoons and all. With countless years of experience slurping and sourcing tea between them, they know how to spot a good cuppa a mile off. Travelling the world visiting various tea estates, we source our teas from just a tiny pool of estates that meet our high quality standards.
Tasting every batch of teapigs tea to ensure you only get the very best cuppa.
In its wild state, tea grows best in regions that enjoy a warm, humid climate with a lots of rainfall – typically, that’s the region between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
The big players in the world of tea growing are China, India, Sri Lanka and Kenya, followed by Turkey, Vietnam, Iran and Indonesia, but this is by no means an exhaustive list; tea can be grown in any area with the right climate and conditions…there’s even a tea estate in Cornwall!
