Ahmad Tea of London draws upon knowledge and experience
gained from three generations of family activity in
all areas of the tea trade, from plantations to blending
and packaging.
The name of Ahmad Tea is synonymous with the very
finest teas. Our expert tea tasters have sampled teas
from many gardens around the world in search of suitable
tea leaves to make the perfect cup.
After careful selection, traditional methods of hand
plucking ensure that the tea arrives in perfect condition,
with the freshness and flavour intact. The leaves
are then meticulously blended to meet our high standards
of quality and consistency. Teas can only be used
after the Director of Tea Tasting has personally tasted
each blend and approved it for production. The result
is an excellent cup of tea, with impeccable liquor,
colour, aroma and flavour.
The company was established with the belief that
our reputation must be founded on the quality of our
teas. The commitment to quality remains today. It
is reflected in the image, branding and packaging
of the entire Ahmad Tea product range and has led
to sales in more than forty-five countries, spanning
across five continents.
