Single Estate Teas

What are Single Estate Teas?

Single Estate Teas, also known as single-origin teas, are teas that have been grown on a specific estate, plantation, or tea garden. The name of the garden is usually printed on the packet, allowing consumers to know exactly where their tea has come from.  For example, Glenburn Estate in Darjeeling, Lovers’ Leap in Sri Lanka, Satemwa Estate in Malawi. Single Estate Teas can come from anywhere in the world, from Darjeeling in India to the Daintree Rainforest in far north Queensland, Australia.

Benefits of Single Estate Teas:

When purchasing Single Estate Teas, consumers have the opportunity to research and know exactly where their tea has come from. This transparency means that consumers can ensure that the tea they are consuming has been grown and farmed in an ethical and sustainable way. Single Estate Teas also vary in taste. This means that customers can assess the character of the tea, in the same way, they might enjoy tasting different wines produced from the same vineyard in different years.
