OUr story Our journey started in 1989, when a chance meeting between Kiran Tawadey and Rajah Banerjee, two people who shared the same vision of cultivating Tea using natural and sustainable methods, started something special. Organic certification of the Makaibari Tea estate in Darjeeling followed two years later. Two years after that the Makaibari became the first Demeter, also known as Bio-Dynamic, certified Tea estate in the world. Bio-Dynamic farming simply ensures that you put more in than you take out, it requires totally natural inputs and ensures that the people, plants, animals and soil all work together to ensure to create a self-sustaining and living environment, forever. Armed with five tea chests from the newly certified Tea estate, Kiran packed this Darjeeling Whole Leaf Tea into paper sachets in her kitchen, and “got on her bike� and sold them to Health Food Shops in and around North London. One year later Hampstead Tea was awarded best in category at the Organic Food Awards, for their Darjeeling Whole Leaf Loose Tea, it was presented by HRH Prince Charles.

Made of the tender pickings from the new leaves in spring, first flush Darjeeling is considered the ‘grand cru’ of teas. It is zesty and full of vitality, with a light golden liquor.
Delicate and fresh tasting, our Biodynamic Darjeeling Green Tea is valued for its detoxifying and revitalising properties. Its unfermented leaves are only lightly steamed before being dried.
Organic Oolong Tea
The delicate peachy taste makes Hampstead Tea Oolong such a great mealtime partner. At Makaibari Estate, the leaves are part fermented so that you can see the swirls of the Green amongst the large twisted copped - Black leaves. But creating those large twisted leaves needs the skill of a master craftsman. Brimming with polyphenols, our semi-fermented Oolong is a tea of balance. Flavourful, yet mellow, it has a deliciously fruity peach finish.
Organic White Tea
Produced in the traditional Pai mu Tan style our white tea is deliciously sweet with a light silvery liquor. Known for its antiageing benefits, white tea is full of antioxidants.
