Organic & Fairtrade Loose leaf tea 200g

A leaf tea of integrity that is Fairtrade and organic certified,  packed in a handwoven, reusable basket to enable your desire to live sustainable.

Its a single origin B.O P tea, rich yet mellow in flavour, with a brewing time of about 3-4 minutes. Great when you want to take a break or slow down.

Its the same as our 1kg leaf tea, which our tea customers mostly prefer. If you haven't tried our tea as yet, here is a good place to start.

Features

This single origin, biodynamic tea from our Teas of Integrity range, directly supports the Idulgashinna Organic Bio-tea Estate in Sri Lanka. The cool, slow ripening conditions of our Ceylon Organic high grown tea, create the renowned quality of this region. This is a Broken Orange Pekoe (BOP), with a well twisted curly leaf. Packed in handwoven baskets from a community development project using women’s traditional weaving skills. Store in a cool, dry place.

Producer Information

Idulgashinna Organic Bio Tea Estate – In 1987 this became the first certified organic tea garden in the world.

The social development program at Idulgashinna continues to involve workers in all aspects of the management of the estate. This is raising the standard of living and improving education and health care. It is a radical departure from conditions on most tea estates, where there is a big gap between the management and workers, and where workers live in very basic conditions with poor access to education and health care.
