"We are an independent company offering a selection of the finest organic and Fairtrade loose leaf teas from around the world. We source direct from estates in India and Sri Lanka, getting to know those who grow, produce and trade the tea. Appreciating their knowledge and skills, alongside the challenges of creating excellent tea is an essential part of the Bristol Tea Company’s journey. It’s a thrill to be the link between these beautiful estates and those who enjoy great tea."

Darjeeling Oolong, Makaibari Estate

This rare and beautiful organic Oolong from Darjeeling is a wonderfully gentle and refreshing tea. Oolong teas are semi oxidised, falling between black and green, and this Oolong tea from the Makaibari estate is closer to a green tea. Traditionally Oolongs come from Taiwan and southern China but as they have gained popularity so a number of estates in India have begun to offer them.
