Where are tea trees grown for tea from Hampstead Tea London?

Hampstead Tea London tea leaves come from the Darjeeling Indian region, more precisely from the Makaibari Tea Garden. Growing in this beautiful area of the subtropical belt began as early as 1859, making the area unique - there is the first, still family, tea processing factory in the world. All teas are harvested exclusively by hand. 

The so-called Makaibari uses the so-called biodynamic way of agriculture, which is an alternative way of farming described by the Austrian philosopher, pedagogue and esoterist Rudolf Steiner as early as the beginning of the 20th century. This type of agriculture emphasizes the high natural quality raw materials and long-term sustainability of production in the area. The principle is that farmers manage natural resources sparingly and return the nutrients they draw from the soil in a natural way. Makaibari is thanks to the significant help of Hampstead Tea London, the world's first biodynamic agriculture certificate in the world.

The biodynamic origin of the products is protected by the certification of biodynamic agriculture Demeter. Demeter certification guarantees the highest possible level of biodynamic agriculture. It exceeds the standard BIO certification and guarantees, for example, that no man-made substances were used in growing crops, composted soil only produced directly on specific plantations. In biodynamic agriculture, they are strictly observed ethical principles against the protection and sustainability of the environment.

At the same time buying a Demeter certified product, you can be sure that they have been paid fair purchase prices of raw materials those that fully reflect their value, and the value of human labor.

Hampstead Tea London was founded in 1989. The first teas certified by biodynamic agriculture and Fairtrade began producing in 1995.

Hampstead Tea London returns part of its profits back to farming communities, with which it is very works closely together. The money is invested to support development, especially in the area training farmers, education and medical care. People who collect and process tea leaves receive fair rewards for their work and can live in dignified conditions in the place of your home.
