Rediscover the World with Betjeman & Barton’s Origin Teas
Tea is often synonymous with Asian traditions, from China and India to Japan. While Asia is undeniably the cradle of tea and its associated ceremonies, other regions around the globe have also mastered this craft, transforming tea into a multicultural and unifying product.
Since 1919, our tea Maison has delighted discerning palates and piqued the curiosity of novice drinkers. Our offerings include the finest Chinese teas—such as classic black teas like Yunnan, Pu-Er, and Lapsang Souchong—and renowned Indian varieties from Darjeeling and Assam. For a broader taste of the world, explore teas from Taiwan (Formosa), Japan (sencha and matcha), Korea, and Thailand, including the exquisite Formosa oolong.
Venturing beyond the traditional, our collection also showcases teas from Nepal, Indonesia, Brazil, and Colombia, inviting you to explore novel flavors and expand your palate. Each tea in our selection is meticulously chosen for its aroma and quality, sourced from both hidden gem gardens and celebrated plantations worldwide.
Trust our century-old expertise and select an origin tea that will exceed your expectations—whether for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a tea connoisseur.
