Travel the Globe Through a World of Teas

All teas share a common origin, the Camellia sinensis tree, yet they are wonderfully diverse due to variations in cultivation methods, regional conditions, and traditional craftsmanship. For example, India’s Darjeeling and Assam teas—both iconic symbols of Indian culture—reflect their contrasting growing environments: Darjeeling thrives at high altitudes, while Assam is cultivated at lower elevations. Each tea has its own loyal following, despite their shared lineage.

At Betjeman & Barton, our world tea collection celebrates the rich traditions of Asia, with a special focus on Korea and Nepal. While Korean and Nepalese teas are less renowned than their Chinese, Indian, and Japanese counterparts, they are integral to the modern renaissance of tea. These varieties underscore tea’s symbolic and unifying nature, a comforting beverage treasured for millennia across Asia.

For herbal tea enthusiasts, our selection includes global infusions such as Brazilian “Maté Vert,” a green tea enjoyed as an herbal tisane, and South African rooibos with its delightful range of flavors, from fruity and floral to spicy and rich.
