Why Tea Drop
A heritage that can't be replicated
Built on a heritage that can't be replicated, our teas, chai, drinking chocolate and matcha reflect the highest standards of flavour and craftsmanship.
The Tea Drop difference
Great tea, and a partner who sweats the details
For twenty years we have built tea programs for cafés, restaurants and hotels that treat tea with the same care as their coffee and their food. Every blend starts with whole-leaf quality and ends with a cup guests remember.
We are a third-generation tea family, origin-sourced and hospitality-obsessed. That heritage shows up in the flavour, the formats and the way we look after your account.
- Whole-leaf quality, blended in small batches
- Origin-sourced from gardens we know by name
- Formats built for real hospitality service
- One account manager who knows your venue
What sets us apart
Four things guide everything we make
From the leaf in the cup to the packaging it comes in, these are the standards that never move.
Artisan
Small-batch blends developed by our tea team: hand-crafted recipes, whole-leaf quality and a taste profile designed for hospitality, not the supermarket shelf.
Innovation
From biodegradable pyramid bags to matcha and hojicha, ready-to-serve formats and signature bespoke blends, we keep your menu ahead of what guests expect.
Ethical
Directly and responsibly sourced leaf from trusted gardens. We know our origins (Sri Lanka, India and beyond) and partner with growers who share our standards.
Sustainability
Plant-based, home-compostable tea bags and recyclable packaging. Great tea shouldn't cost the earth, so we design waste out of every format we make.
From garden to cup
We know our origins, partner with growers who share our standards, and blend in small batches so the leaf reaches your cup bright, clean and full of character.
One range, every format
The formats hospitality actually needs
Whatever the venue, there is a Tea Drop format that fits the service, the menu and the moment.
Tea Bags
Biodegradable pyramid bags that brew a clean, full cup with none of the fuss.
Loose Leaf
Whole-leaf blends with origin character and depth, for venues that treat tea like coffee.
Drinking Chocolate
A genuinely rich drinking chocolate, smooth and made to perform under milk.
Hotel Collection
In-room, lounge and banqueting formats presented to feel of a piece with your property.
The silent partner behind your tea
More than a supplier
Twenty years of hospitality experience come with every order. We help you curate the menu, train your team and keep the tea flowing, so tea becomes a reason guests come back.
Sommelier-led training
On-site and virtual sessions on brewing, origins and service, so every team member pours with confidence.
Bespoke menu design
We design a tea list around your venue, cuisine and clientele, from all-day café to fine dining.
Teaware & presentation
Pots, infusers and display that make tea a considered ritual, not an afterthought.
Dedicated account management
One point of contact who knows your account, anticipates reorders and keeps supply reliable.
