From plant to cup

The subtropical climate contributes to the region’s distinctive tea quality, such as its vibrant, natural red color.

Our tea grows at medium altitude up to 4,000 feet above sea level, where cooler temperatures slow the growth of tea leaves and concentrate the taste.

The growing season begins with the rains in December and slows down by May as temperatures cool.

Our tea thrives in Argentina’s subtropical northeast, in the lush provinces of Corrientes and Misiones—just three hours away from the breathtaking Iguazú Falls. Black tea from this region has a uniquely smooth, rounded taste and brews into a sparkling, clear infusion—perfect for hot teas and refreshing iced blends. Argentina sets the benchmark for a modern, sustainable tea industry. With highly advanced agricultural standards and fair wages, it leads the way in responsible tea production. Sustainability is woven into every step. Tea farmers create buffer zones between fields and rivers, repurpose wood waste from the paper industry for tea drying—reducing the need for fresh-cut trees—and reuse production byproducts as natural fertilizers.

After harvesting selected leaves and buds, crops travel the shortest possible distance for processing. Capturing the freshness is key! On arrival, teas undergo withering to reduce moisture and soften the leaves. This includes gently shaking, tossing, and blowing air through the leaves. Smelling the leaves to judge their color and aroma, the expert tea makers in the tea processing centre stop the wilting process at the exact right time. Then they apply heat to seal in the iconic flavor.

Our tasters, with their lifelong passion for tea and learning, have to pass several rigorous routine tests each year to stay in their position. They nurture strong connections with local farmers in each region to develop superior blends. They carefully monitor tea quality at every stage—from origin to the final packed tea—to ensure it meets the highest standards. The unique skillset of our master blenders ensures a consistent taste through changing harvest conditions and seasons.

100% of leaf tea packed in USA has Rainforest Alliance certification. It meets environmental, social, and economic sustainability standards, ensuring ethical sourcing and responsible production.

Each batch of tea is tracked in our internal system, capturing key details like garden origin, quality, and sustainability to ensure the best sourcing and standards.
