Sourcing Tea

Spicers’ dedicated tea experts, with over 150 years combined tea buying experience, source teas from some of the most renowned tea producing countries across the globe.  Exceptional quality is one of the key criteria for sourcing tea but equally important is the ethical and sustainable practice of the tea gardens.

We source teas from some of the best gardens in Kenya, Rwanda, Sri Lanka (Ceylon), India and Indonesia. These include the best East of Rift Kenyans, high quality Assam, world famous Darjeeling and very high end Ceylon from the Dimbula region.   

Our endeavour is to source our tea more sustainably and ethically, to help nurture and support the environment and the communities attached to these locations. We are proud to source teas from Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms. The Rainforest Alliance certification helps ensure that workers and farmers who grow and pick the tea enjoy a better quality of life and a more sustainable environment.
