Rare Tea Company

Rare Tea Company is an independent company based in London. Founded in 2004, by Henrietta Lovell (known as the Tea Lady), to source and supply the worlds best tea - direct from farmers and their tea gardens. Our aim is to benefit both the people who craft our tea and our customers who drink it. By always sourcing for quality over price we know we are bringing you the best tea possible; and by buying direct we know we are putting the value of your tea into the farmers hands not middle men. Our ambition is to redefine what good tea means. It must meet three criteria: (1) It has to taste good. Well, better than good. It has to taste amazing. (2) It has to be good for you. No pesticides, herbicides, additives, flavourings, or bags with bleaches, glues and microplastics. (3) It has to be good for the people who make it. We pay the best prices for the best tea so that the communities we work with might thrive
