"Three things in the world are
most regrettable:
the ruin of the finest youth
through improper upbringing,
the desecration of the finest paintings
through vulgar gawking, and
the waste of the finest tea
through improper handling"
Emperor Hu-Tsung (1101–1125 AD)
Purchasing the highest-quality tea possible is one thing; delivering that tea to the customer without any loss of aroma, potency, or freshness is quite another! It is London Tea’s philosophy to ensure this under all circumstances.
All of our teas are always sourced from the current production run or harvest. All varieties are shipped directly from the tea gardens or plantations to our specialized warehouse. We are virtually the only company in Switzerland that blends all of our flavored teas in-house, using only the finest ingredients and oils.
Over the past two years, we have been the only tea company to transition all of our flavored green, fruit, black, and rooibos teas to certified quality. In addition, many other varieties and specialties are now available in certified quality. Labeling: (Certified Base Tea) or (Certified Plantation Tea). Of course, the entire product line undergoes the strictest purity and residue testing.
It is very important to us that our specialty teas are delivered in packaging that provides perfect protection from light and preserves their aroma. Selling tea in bulk or in clear packaging, as well as storing and selling it near strongly scented items such as essential oils, incense sticks, and spices, is very detrimental to the quality and health benefits of all types of tea.
