FAQs
What is Single origin tea?
Tea that comes wholly from one specific region. Coupled with the processing of tea leaves, how the tea trees are grown plays an integral role in its quality. A combination of factors like soil, climate and geography come together to make unique single origin tea as opposed to blends that are a combination of various teas produced in different regions.
Exclusive to a single garden, single origin tea is free from any flavour fluctuations, thus considered premium.
