Newby Teas
Established in London in 2000, Newby employs the very highest standards found in tea production today. Enjoyed in select establishments around the world, including 5-star hotels, award-winning restaurants, cultural venues and stately homes, Newby products can also be found in retail outlets such as Waitrose and Sainsbury's, and are sold globally online via newbyteas.com. It’s not just the quality of our fine teas which sets us apart. Newby’s 5-star client service has evolved to cater to a detail-oriented and prestigious customer base. Our in-house tea training and collaborative efforts to create unique tea menus and food pairings have enhanced a multitude of fine dining, conferencing and banqueting establishments, and many blue-chip companies and businesses enjoy a superb reputation through serving Newby. The guiding principles on which the company was founded still hold true to this day. We blend our teas using the very best leaves, we use these leaves only to create our own teas, and our founder, Mr Sethia, still personally tastes and approves all teas bearing the Newby name. Newby is the only tea company to have its own dedicated preservation and packing facility, based in Kolkata in the heart of the major tea-growing regions. Our factory is AA-rated for food safety by BRC Global Standards and is comprised of temperature-controlled preservation rooms to ensure every variety of tea is stored in optimal conditions. We protect our teas in specially designed multi-layer packaging for extra freshness, taking the leaves from garden to pack in as little as three months - a quarter of the time of many tea companies. Our headquarters in London, England, is supported by a growing network of distribution partners and international offices, including those in Russia, USA, Switzerland, UAE, India, Singapore and the Netherlands.
