Tea Scotland is the association of Scottish tea growers
We support the commercial cultivation of Camellia sinensis across Scotland, producing rare, delicious, small batch teas. The kettle’s on.
Love tea, but had no idea it could be grown in Scotland?
We are passionate about cultivating entirely Scottish-grown tea, using sustainable farming methods from select member plantations. Through experimentation, research and collaboration, we are practicing the art of loose-leaf tea making in Scotland.
Discover our teas
Our tea is traceable, from plant to cup. It benefits from the unique microclimates in Scotland, which often mimic the conditions found in high-altitude tea growing regions, known for producing higher quality teas with distinctive, refined flavours.
Our members produce a range of pure Scottish-grown tea, from single estate teas to collaborations between members which combine leaf from a number of tea gardens across the country.
The Gathering
Our first tea, initially launched in 2021, is a collaborative effort: leaf from across our members’ gardens is picked on the same day and sent to a central Scottish location for processing. The Gathering is a very rare tea, only available in limited quantities each year.
Notes of caramel, wood and honeysuckle.
100% Scottish black tea.
The Blackhouse
Our second tea, launched in 2022. Pan-roasted to bring out aromas of toasted nuts and earthy sweetness. A tea for the colder months and reminiscent of a Japanese hojicha.
Notes of cinder toffee, roasted chestnuts and dark chocolate.
100% Scottish black tea.
