Marionbarie is the estate — the actual garden in the Himalayan foothills that every Bagan Bari and Tea Cartel blend starts from. This is that tea on its own: no rose, no cardamom, no blend. Just the leaf, as it comes off the garden.

We buy direct from Marionbarie. No brokers, no auction floors, no warehouse sitting on stock between the garden and your cup — so what's in this pack is closer to what the estate actually tastes like than almost any tea at this price.

New to us? This is where we'd tell you to start.
