WHAT MAKES NEWBY TEAS SO GOOD?

The tea leaves used are among the finest available. Only first and second flush leaves, those picked in prime season from March to July go into Newby products.

Newby chooses only the leaves from the season’s best harvests. Highly skilled tea tasters test thousands of cups before selecting the leaves for blends.

The leaves are then shipped directly to Newby’s state-of-the-art preservation, storage, blending and packing facility in India.

The facility is strategically located in the heart of the fine tea-growing regions of the world, thus reducing transit time to preserve quality.

It is the only facility of its kind in the world for tea, and receives the highest accreditation in safety and quality by BRC Global Standards and HACCP, year after year.

The close location minimizes the exposure of the leaves to negative influences. Mechanisms that control temperature and humidity levels guarantee that each blend is painstakingly protected from environmental contaminants.

It’s all about the craft of fine tea, from field to cup.
