“Really enjoyed the Andes Experience! Eduardo is incredibly passionate and makes the tasting both entertaining and fascinating. I especially loved the little behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the teas and their origins. Besos de Café was such an interesting and unexpected combination, but my personal favorite was definitely Sumaq Yaku. A wonderful experience for anyone who loves tea or simply wants to discover something new!”

The journey

Five teas, two countries, one arc from the palest cup to the darkest. Drink them in order and you taste what oxidation does to a leaf — and meet two tea gardens that have no equivalent anywhere.

It starts in the Valle del Cauca, in the western Andes. Bitaco is the last tea garden left in Colombia, today run by six sisters, all of them called María. Verde Esmeralda comes from there: a green tea of tropical fruit and fresh herbs, with a sweetness nobody expects at this end of the scale. So does Nieve Andina — buds and the youngest leaves only, lightly oxidised, then six months of rest. The result is warm and layered and still easy to drink.

Then south to Peru, to the Valle de Huyro in the Cusco region, where the cloud forest begins. Madre Térra harvests semi-wild plants there, among the oldest in Peru, and four generations of tea makers stand behind the family business. Wulong Suka is their experiment — floral at first, then soft and green, with little in common with a classic wulong. Sumaq Yaku means “beautiful water” in Quechua and tastes of warm honey and blossom: a black tea that feels familiar until the second sip. Peruvian tea barely leaves the country: the volumes are small, and they are spoken for at home — not least by Peru's best restaurants. We are the first to bring it to Europe.

The journey ends back in Colombia with Besos de Café: black tea blended with roasted coffee beans from the same country. Our first blend ever, and a bow to the flavour Colombia is known for. Dark, cocoa-sweet, roasted — the one cup in this box that asks for breakfast.

One piece of advice: don't jump around, go in order. From green to black each cup turns a shade darker and denser — and by the end you'll know which of the five is yours.

The Andes

Where nature meets craft

From Colombia to Chile, the Andes cover nearly 9000 km of deserts, icy summits, and rainforests. In the north, equatorial climate brings alternating wet and dry seasons. In the mountains of Peru and Colombia, tea plants have been able to flourish year-round since arriving from Asia in the early 20th century.

Not even the Florida heat can make me give up my tea. ☀️🍃 It’s become my little daily ritual, and I genuinely love every cup. Can’t wait to discover the next collection.

About Us

Leaves & Stories

FAQ

How does the Online Tasting work?

It is a live session with Eduardo, our founder — not a video. Your order comes with a QR code that takes you straight to the booking, where you choose your date; everything else reaches you by email beforehand. Together we taste the five teas and talk about the gardens, the people who make them and the terroir behind the flavour. Bring your questions — Eduardo takes his time and answers all of them.

When do the tastings take place?

You pick your date when you register with the QR code — the available sessions are listed there. If none of them fits, or you would like a tasting of your own, for friends, a team or as a gift, write to us and we will arrange a date.

What is in the booklet?

The story behind the collection, in print: where the two gardens are, who runs them and what makes each of the five teas what it is — plus how to brew every one of them. It comes with the box and is not sold separately.

Are your teas organic?

Some are. Where an EU organic seal is available, we are glad to have it — behind it stands a strict standard with annual inspections, and for you it is the quickest answer there is. We simply cannot get it for every tea, and that has nothing to do with quality and everything to do with the size of the farms.

Our gardens are mostly small family holdings in remote highlands, picking by hand and producing a few hundred kilos a year. For them, certification is above all a cost: fees, annual inspections, documentation in a foreign language.

So we look at the way they work ourselves, on site and in detail. We ask to be shown everything and to see the evidence behind it, and we put a great deal of weight on a relationship of trust with the people who produce our tea. And sometimes the law is there ahead of us: in the Indian state of Sikkim, selling and using chemical pesticides has been prohibited since 2014, and since 2016 the entire state counts as fully organic.

Whether a tea is certified is stated on its product page.

Can I brew the leaves more than once?

Absolutely! And the second infusion is often the best one. Unlike the broken leaf in a supermarket tea bag, whole leaves need the first infusion just to open up, and they change as they go: bright and fragrant at first, then denser and sweeter, finally quiet and mineral. In Chinese gongfu cha, eight to fifteen infusions are perfectly normal. The steeping times for the later infusions are printed on the pouch.

How should I store the tea?

Keep the bag closed and store it dry, dark and away from strong smells. A cool spot at room temperature works better than the fridge.

How long does delivery take?

Your order is packed in Berlin and reaches you within two to four working days. For the Experience, shipping is free — always, whatever your order comes to.

What if I don't like the tea?

Then it's on us. Write to us within 30 days of delivery and you'll get your money back in full. Nothing needs to be sent back — keep the tea or pass it on.
