Portugal: Organic Green Tea
Sao Miguel Island is home to the oldest, and the only tea plantation left in Europe. It is also one of the most sustainable tea estates in the world as its factory is powered entirely by water from a local waterfall. Teas are finished using antique tea equipment that is powered by a simple belt system, and hand-packed. This gentle green tea features light vegetal and toasty notes.

Taiwan: Four Seasons Spring Oolong
This lightly oxidized oolong is produced on a muti-generational family farm that grows their teas using only sustainable and natural methods - without the use of chemical fertilizers. While this drastically reduces this farm’s yield, the result is a fresh, elegant, and lightly floral oolong – quite different from conventionally grown oolongs grown nearby.

The estate that produces this tea provides access to free education for the children of the tea pluckers, access to clean water throughout their community, and health insurance.

Malawi: Smoked Black Tea
This incredibly unique hand-plucked black tea has been carefully smoked with wood harvested from locally growing Guava trees. The result is truly unique… a campfire in a cup with peaty notes, and minimal astringency. This estate provides schooling for local children, preserves wildlife corridors, and uses solar power.
