Why biodynamic organic tea?
The tea is grown at Makaibari, the first biodynamic tea estate in the world, situated 3-4000 ft high up in the Himalayas. The estate is protected on all sides by lush virgin rainforests and is the home and livelihood to a community of 1700 people, a family of panthers and richly diverse wildlife.
Hampstead's promise to you. We believe we have some of the finest organic teas in the world. The purity and quality of our teas, and the natural harmony and well being of the estate and its people mean everything to us. Our biodynamic, organic and fairtrade credentials are your guarantee that our teas are produced in the best and fairest ways possible. We hope that they give you as much pleasure and enrich your lives as much as they do ours.
Biodynamic farming is a very special holistic form of organic farming, founded in the 1920's,and practised worldwide. It is often described as "organic plus" as each farm is unique and self-sustaining, in balance with soil, plant, animal and cosmic processes. Biodynamic farmers use specially formulated energising herbal compost preparations and a lunar calender to help them determine when to sow and harvest.
The Fairtrade mark guarantees international standards for fair and socially responsible trade with producers in developing countries. The price we pay to our tea estates includes a premium which is used by the community for social, economic, educational and medical improvements.
Why Should You Choose Hampstead Tea?
The world has been enjoying tea for more than 5,000 years. But only since 1995 has biodynamic, fair-trade certified tea been available. That year in Hampstead, a famous London hillside village known as a breeding ground for progressive ideas, Hampstead Tea began.
The majority of our tea comes from the Makaibari estate in India’s Darjeeling province. It is the world’s first certified biodynamic estate and the last owner-managed estate in the district. Here, 66% of the acreage is undisturbed rainforest where tea grows in harmony with the area’s natural ecological system.
Suggested Use
Allow one level teaspoon of tea/one tea bag per person. Pour on freshly boiled water and infuse for up to 3 minutes. Add a splash of milk, or enjoy the distinctive flavor on its own.
