How and where are Betjeman and Barton's teas produced ?

All of Betjeman and Barton's products are packaged in France. Although our teas come from all over the world, it is in France that we imagine and shape our teas: sorting, checking, blending and packaging the leaves, flowers and fruits. It is important for us to preserve this French refinement and delicacy. All our packaging is also produced in small regional companies, whose work and values are corresponding to those we defend.

Are the tea bags compostable ?

Yes ! Our bags have been made from corn starch (PLA). Thus, they are 100% industrially compostable..

Are the teas in the bags the same as the loose teas ?

Yes! The tea that we put on our teabags is exactly the same that we are proposing as loose tea. We are not breaking the leaves, which explains why some teas like our oolong teas, whose leaves need to develop, are not available in bags.

For a cup of tea, we recommend infusing 2g of tea which you can measure directly with our teaspoons. With 100g, you can therefore plan to make 50 cups. For fruit and cocoa infusions, we recommend two 2g spoons, i.e. 4g. You can then fill 25 cups.

How do I properly prepare my iced tea?

The key to your iced tea is to cold brew it! Indeed, for 1L of water (preferably spring), count 10g of tea. Leave to stand for about 4 hours in the refrigerator, filter your water and enjoy! You can add a few ice cubes, fruits and flowers for aesthetics or to reinforce the notes present! All the teas we offer at Betjeman and Barton can be consumed both hot and cold. You can still find our selection of bestsellers in the “Iced teas” category. Very low in caffeine, iced tea brings the whole family together! And if you don't have time to infuse for 4 hours, consider our Malesherbes and Pouchkine tea syrups! Line the bottom of your glass with syrup, pour some very cold water, a few ice cubes and that's it!
