Single estate leaf tea (Makaibari, India)
 
Only two tender leaves and a bud are used to produce this delicious green biodynamic tea. With its delicate green liquor, green tea is valued for its detoxifying and antioxidant properties. The unfermented leaves of green tea are lightly steamed before being dried.
 
Our green tea is grown at Makaibari, the first biodynamic tea estate in the world, situated at 3-4000 ft high up in the Himalayas.
 The Darjeeling estate is protected on all sides by lush virgin forests and is home and livelihood to a community of 1700 people, a family of panthers and a richly diverse wildlife.
 
Our Promise to you. We believe that the Makaibari tea estate produces some of the finest organic teas in the world. The purity and quality of our teas and the natural harmony and well being of the estate and its people, mean everything to us.
 
Our Biodynamic and Fairtrade credentials are your guarantee that our teas are produced in the best and fairest way possible. We hope they give you as much pleasure and enrich your lives as much as they do ours.

In keeping with our philosophy, our teas are free from all artificial additives and gmos. 

The world has been enjoying tea for more than 5,000 years. But only since 1995 has biodynamic, fair-trade certified tea been available. That year in Hampstead, a famous London hillside village known as a breeding ground for progressive ideas, Hampstead Tea began.
The majority of our tea comes from the Makaibari estate in India’s Darjeeling province. It is the world’s first certified biodynamic estate and the last owner-managed estate in the district. Here, 66% of the acreage is undisturbed rainforest where tea grows in harmony with the area’s natural ecological system.
