The Elmstock Quality Guarantee
Elmstock sources its tea from the finest tea gardens. Connoisseurs of tea will readily recognize its quality, fresh flavor and distinctive aroma.
To make a good cup of tea actually requires a smaller amount of tea than cheaper varieties (worth remembering when comparing prices!). Elmstock teas are guaranteed to be distinctively 'fresher'.
Elmstock Premium Quality Tea is sold by specialty gourmet shops and served by quality restaurants and cafes. It is generally not available in supermarkets.
The Best Tea is NOT in Supermarkets
Like fine wine, the quality of tea depends on climatic conditions, regional characteristics, the expertise of the plantation manager and the blender. But, also like a good wine there is only a limited quantity of premium tea available, which is why many of the cheap supermarket teas generally lack quality. In spite of what they claim, mass produced commercial
brands are 'blended down' to meet pricing competition and the consumer is therefore deprived of the best quality teas, which are only slightly more expensive.
To all of you, from all of us at Elmstock Tea, enjoy our wonderful world of premium quality tea!
