Serve Better Tea.

The Newby Tea Way

Newby only uses hand-picked leaves, mostly by the fine-picked method which selects just the bud and the top two leaves. Less precise machine picking methods are never used. Newby begin by selecting solely hand-harvested leaves from prime seasons – or flushes – for all their traditional teas. Newby’s tea tasters evaluate thousands of cups from a selection of different gardens, choosing only the season’s best harvests. Not tied to single gardens where quality can vary from season to season, they buy both directly from producers and at auctions to ensure they can sample all the season’s teas and buy only the most memorable.

Newby’s dedicated team of expert tasters then blend these exceptional leaves to achieve a cup with a truly unforgettable character. Their tasters are trained personally by Newby’s chairman, Nirmal Sethia, whose knowledge of tea has developed over decades of experience in the industry.

Newby Teas are sealed in foil to further protect the tea from heat, light, humidity and air pollution. The teas’ quality and character when you drink them are the same as when they left the tea garden.
