About us

History in the making.

Tip Top Tea is a small business established in the summer of 2007 on the markets Bristol, born from the desire to bring hard to find high quality loose tea to the shores of the UK. Since we began trading we have helped to promote the current nationwide resurgent interest in loose leaf tea. We are a growing online and wholesale tea merchant currently based in London. We stock a range of over 40 loose leaf teas chosen to represent the best teas in the world and offer our tea both as a final retail product and for service in cafés, restaurants and hotels. Through word of mouth and positive press and radio coverage Tip Top Tea has built up a loyal following of retail and wholesale clients. Once you see, smell and taste our teas you will appreciate the difference in quality from conventional mass produced tea. In 2011 we entered a small selection of our teas into the annual UK Great Taste Awards, and were pleased to see that all received a Gold Star award!

 

Company Ethos

Coming from an environmental background, sound business ethics and environmental responsibility are very important to us. Unfortunately tea cannot be grown (in abundance) in or near to this country, and while this remains the case it is a luxury that must be imported from overseas. Our loose tea is shipped by sea where possible, and overland where not, trying to minimise food miles. Loose leaf tea does not go through any factory's for energy costly processing into teabags or boxes. Tip Top Teas are packed and labeled by hand in a clean and hygenic environment. We are constantly searching for more environmentally friendly packaging, however at this time there is not anything suitable that we know of on the marketplace. The cutting edge packaging our loose tea comes in helps keep it fresh for longer than before, something that simple recycled paper bags cannot compete with. In this case product quality and shelf life must supercede other considerations. If you know of other suitable packaging please contact us.
