Tea pickers in the Arya Tea Garden in Darjeeling.
Sourced from the world's finest tea gardens
Extract Tea is ethically sourced from the world's finest tea gardens.
Black tea, green tea, herbal tea and fruit tea is all plucked and processed by hand, then skilfully blended and packed as loose leaf or biodegradable pyramid bags.
Supporting our communities
Just like coffee, tea has the power to bring people together, to be a force for good in our communities.
Every cup of Extract Tea you buy also supports our GroundsUp charity collective, helping community projects here in the UK.
Our projects include barista training with adults recovering from homelessness, breaking the silence of mental health in hospitality, and helping young people fighting the effects of deprivation.
Black Tea
What is black tea?
Black, green, white and oolong tea all come from the plant Camellia Sinensis. The difference between them is how they are processed. Black teas are oxidised to give them their characteristic rich, malty flavours and golden liquor.
Our four black teas are breakfast tea, earl grey, decaf tea and second flush Darjeeling tea. Our Darjeeling is exclusive to Extract Tea, sourced from the Arya Tea Garden, one of the last family-run farms in India.
The Rutsiro Tea Factory in Rwanda is wholly organic, providing stable income and community resources from more than 2000 farmers and their dependents. This tea can be found in our breakfast and earl grey teas.
Green Tea
What is green tea?
Green tea also comes from the plant Camellia Sinensis - just like black tea! Green tea is not oxidised however which is why it retains its light, fresh flavours and colour.
The final flavour of the best green tea depends on how it is processed. Pan-fired green teas have a grassy, lightly toasted flavour. Steamed green teas are sweeter with more vegetal notes.
We have two green teas, a jade tips green tea and an organic jasmine tea, these are both pan-fired. Our organic jasmine is from one of the oldest organic and Fairtrade tea projects in China, the Kao Shui Tea Garden. Our jade tips green tea is from Xinyang, China, the tea leaves are hand-rolled into twists.
Herbal Tea
What are Herbal Teas and Infusions?
Herbal Teas don't come from Camellia Sinensis or any other member of the tea faily. They are infusions from other plants and roots. Many herbal teas are naturally caffeine-free. Some have been used in herbal medicine for more than 2000 years!
Extract Tea has four herbal teas available as loose leaf or pyramid bags; mint tea, citrus rooibos tea, chamomile tea, ginger & lemongrass and berry tea.
Star of the show is our organic citrus rooibos, blended with lemongrass, marigold petals and citrus oils to create a sweet and fruity caffeine-free tea.
The ginger of our organic ginger and lemongrass is shade-grown under jackfruit trees in India with peppers growing up their trunks – biodiversity at its best!
