welcome to
silk road teas

Welcome to the peaceful tranquility of the tea realm. Centuries ago, the Silk Road was a caravan
route along which merchants from ports as mysterious and remote as India, Turkey, China and
Sumatra traded exotic silks and priceless spice for gold and jewels. One of the most revered
and coveted treasures brought from these mythical lands was tea.

There is an infinite variety of flavours in the world of tea. As with grapes and wine, the tea plant
reflects the flavour of the region in which it was grown. Tea can be rich and pungent or delicate
and subtle. The silk road art of tea blending ensures that the character of the plant retains its
essential harmony and is enhanced by the ingredients with which it is paired. Select botanicals
from around the world are carefully cured and prepared to yield a superb tea experience.

fresh > Importing tea directly from growers results in a continuous supply of fresh tea that has more nutrients and better flavour.

organic > Organic practices avoid the use of manufactured pesticides, herbicides and mineral or synthetic fertilizers. Our teas are either third party certified organic according to EU standards or certified organic by smaller groups or associations.

premium quality > We are very selective about where we get our teas from and closely examine quality, flavour, organics, environmental impact and how well each tea estate treats its workers.

100% natural flavourings > We use only 100% natural flavourings in our teas because of their superior taste. Natural flavours are good for the environment, too! Since they are derived from plants, natural flavours are a renewable resource, whereas artificial flavours are made up of synthetic components derived from non-renewable resources.

good for your body, good for the planet > Studies indicate that teas boost your immune system, may lower the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, reduce cholesterol, normalise blood pressure, improve bone density and delay the aging process. By supporting organic growing practises, you’re helping to support the environment.
