The human touch is an integral part of producing high quality tea. For this reason, Teaosophy tea leaves are harvested by hand, never by a machine. Specially trained tea pluckers are careful to pick only the tender young leaves, which yield a higher quality tea than mature leaves. The discriminating eye and swift, gentle hand of the tea plucker can not be replicated by machine.

Teaosophy brings tea from the source to your cup-with as little as possible in between. George Paulose, founder of Teaosophy, is an India native with firsthand knowledge of the tea market. His wide network of connections with growers throughout India gives Teaosophy a competitive advantage in product sourcing. We've been to the tea estates, and we've met the people, following your tea from the tree to the taster's cup. Our direct relationships with the estates also ensure that Teaosophy tea is of the finest quality.

Teaosophy is founded on a commitment to quality and preserving the integrity of the tea ritual. When visiting estates, the Teaosophy team evaluates every step of the process to ensure the fair treatment of both the environment and the people who make the tea experience possible. We can personally attest to the quality of our tea, and the standards by which it is grown. Our Promise to You: We will never sacrifice the tea while maintaining reasonable prices.

Tea reminds us of the connection between humans and nature. We harvest the leaves from nature, and must be conscious of our responsibility to respect the source. To cut down on unnecessary waste, Teaosophy uses minimal packaging. We eliminate the outer wrap that usually surrounds individual tea bags. Instead, we guarantee freshness with our resealable plastic tea caddy. Both the caddy and the paper box are recyclable.
