More about tea preparation

Excellent spring plucking from Darjeeling, flown in directly after harvest to preserve the unique fresh flavours.

Originally, only the best first flush teas from Darjeeling were flown in by plane. Darjeeling tea is still considered the "champagne of tea" and the typical lily of the valley note of this tea speciality comes out particularly well in the freshly harvested airfreighted tea.

CO2 compensation for airfreighted tea

Environmental protection is very important to us, which is why we also take care to make the transport of our teas as sustainable as possible. In the case of fresh harvest tea, however, the fastest possible delivery plays a decisive role in preserving the fresh flavours. In order to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible and still provide tea lovers in Germany with an incomparably fresh and full-bodied tea experience, we participate in a novel reforestation project run by NABU to compensate for the teas we fly in. All the flights we take each year to transport the goods are collected, the amount of CO2 is calculated on the basis of the amount of tea and kilometres flown, and then offset in cooperation with NABU.
