Our Commitment to Purity

Every batch of our tea is independently tested to ensure it is free from harmful pesticide residues.

We take pride in delivering tea that meets high safety standards — so you can enjoy a clean, pure cup every time.

From Farm to Packaging

We’ve worked closely with our tea gardens for over a decade, all of which are certified organic.

From the plantations through to our packing facility, we maintain strong relationships and visibility across every stage of the supply chain, ensuring careful handling and consistent quality.

Transparency & QR Code Access

Every shipment is independently tested using accredited laboratories.

For full transparency, you can scan the QR code on your package to view batch-specific test results. This gives you direct access to the same information we use to verify quality.

Your Confidence, Our Approach

Our focus is simple: source well, test thoroughly, and share openly.

That means tea that is responsibly sourced, independently tested, and clearly communicated, so you know exactly what’s in your cup.

Eco Packaging

Our Tea Bag Material

Our tea bag mesh is made from PLA derived from corn starch, a renewable plant-based material designed for industrial composting.

PLA is designed to be compostable in industrial facilities, where higher temperatures and controlled conditions help it break down into natural elements. While it does not typically degrade in home compost or soil at ambient temperatures, choosing PLA means we avoid petroleum-based plastics like nylon or PET.

We are working with our suppliers to explore certification under Australian composting standards (AS 4736 / AS 5810), so we can give you complete clarity on how to dispose of our tea bags responsibly.

In the meantime, the best way to dispose of your used tea bags is to:

• Compost the tea leaves in your garden or green bin, and

• Place the empty bag mesh in general waste (unless your council provides access to industrial composting).

By moving to a plant-based material, we’ve taken a step away from fossil fuels and towards more sustainable tea drinking — and we’re committed to continuing this journey.

Advanced Testing Methods

Our independent laboratory uses state-of-the-art techniques, including GC-MS and LC-MS/MS, to detect even trace amounts of pesticides. These methods are based on internationally recognised standards, ensuring that any residue is well below safe limits. While our testing covers over 500 chemicals—from common agricultural pesticides to substances banned in many countries—only a few of these are typically found in significant amounts. This comprehensive screening provides you with full assurance of quality and safety.

8 Tea Gardens

We’ve worked closely with our tea gardens for over a decade, supporting them in transitioning to certified organic farming practices. Our teas are sourced from five gardens in Darjeeling, One in Nilgiri and Assam, and one in the Dooars region. These estates hold 10 certifications: Fairtrade, Naturland, Rainforest Alliance, Demeter, Biosuisse Organic, USDA Organic, Kosher, Jaivik Bharat, Control Union, and Regenerative Organic Certified. 

Watch our Founders story

The teas are hand-picked—not machine harvested—and pest control is managed naturally using predator insects, with no synthetic pesticides used at any stage.
