Sourcing policy

Guided by the principles of excellence, ethics, taste, trust and traceability, our sourcing philosophy ensures that every tea embodies integrity and uncompromising quality.

Selective Partnerships

We source only from estates that meet our strict standards. Trusted partners hold certifications such as Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade and are chosen for their sustainable practices and crop integrity. Fewer than 5% of the world’s tea gardens meet the Newby threshold for quality, ethics and environmental care.

Expertise & auditing

Our sourcing team works directly with growers, assessing quality through samples and documentation. Every partner is subject to a rigorous audit of certifications, farming practices and ethical compliance before any tea is approved.

  • Quality & safety

    Every tea is tested by Eurofins, a world-renowned laboratory, for over 650 contaminants, including fluoride. This rigorous process ensures every cup is pure, safe and of the highest quality.

  • Transparency & traceability

    Through long-standing partnerships and a global supply network, we maintain traceability from garden to distribution, ensuring every cup reflects integrity at every stage.

  • We never compromise on taste

    Each batch is assessed by our Founder and Master Tea Taster, together with a global team of experts. Only teas with outstanding balance, aroma and flavour are awarded the Newby name.
