Only the best
We pick only two leaves and a bud.
The standard that the great Darjeeling gardens set a century ago. We hold it. No lower leaves, no short cuts at peak season.
From the Himalayas, with care
Tea that remembers
where it grew up.
Single-origin Darjeeling and Kashmiri Noon Chai — hand-picked, slow-crafted, and shipped from the estate to your kitchen. No middlemen, no shortcuts.

Our Four Promises
Good tea is mostly a matter of not getting in its way.
We pick less, ship faster, and add nothing — so the leaf, the elevation and the hand that picked it all stay in your cup.

From garden to door
We ship within ten days of plucking.
Tea is perishable. The muscatel notes in a first-flush Darjeeling start fading after six weeks. We ship fast so you get the tea at its best.

Fair trade, always
We pay above the auction average.
We pay our estates a premium above the Calcutta auction price, and we settle in seven days — not ninety. Fair pay produces better tea.

Pure and simple
We add nothing.
No flavourings, no artificial colouring, no preservatives. One ingredient on every label: tea. Sometimes a spice, if the recipe calls for it.

The mist usually clears by ten. After that, the leaf almost picks itself.

The Ritual
How to brew the perfect cup.
01
01
Water
92 °C
Filtered, just-poured. Hard water flattens the muscatel.
02
02
Leaf
1 tsp / 200ml
Loose-leaf only. Tea-bag dust loses half the aroma.
03
03
Time
3–4 min
Set a timer. Tea forgives a lot — but not over-steeping.
Notes from the kettle club
What our drinkers write back.
★★★★★4.9 average · 1,200+ reviews
“The first flush this year tasted like rain on a peach orchard. Genuinely. I've sent four boxes as gifts.”
“I grew up on Noon Chai. I'm hard to impress. This one made my grandmother stop talking, sip, and nod. Good enough.”
“We've tried every tea club in the UK. None of them ship within ten days of plucking. The Amru does. You can taste it.”
