What is Hand-Made Black Tea?
Hand-made black tea refers to tea that is processed mostly by hand rather than by large industrial machines. Skilled tea makers carefully control each stage—withering, rolling, shaping, oxidising, and drying—in small batches to preserve the natural character of the leaves.
Speciality Compared with Other Tea Varieties
Higher Leaf Quality: Only carefully selected tender leaves are used, often hand-plucked.
Artisanal Processing: The tea is rolled and shaped by hand, allowing better control over oxidation and flavour development.
Unique Appearance: Leaves often have distinctive shapes and whole-leaf structure, unlike the broken leaves in mass-produced teas.
Richer Flavour Profile: Produces a more complex aroma, smoother taste, and distinctive liquor.
Limited Production: Made in small quantities, making it more exclusive and premium.
Stronger Connection to Origin: Often comes from single estates, highlighting the terror of the region.
Our Process
Withering: Leaves are softened to reduce moisture.
Hand Rolling: Leaves are rolled gently to release enzymes.
Oxidation: Leaves turn coppery brown, developing flavor.
Drying: Moisture is removed to stop oxidation.
Sorting & Packaging: Leaves are graded and packed to preserve freshness.
Result: Unique, aromatic single-estate handmade black tea.
