In the history of mankind, tea has enjoyed a position of culture, grandeur and glory for thousands of years. Unfortunately, industrialization of trade in the 20th century was accompanied by the loss of a large part of the rich culture of tea, because major brands invest in quantity for the sake of quality.

In order to re-introduce quality teas to the market and revive the grandeur of the culture, Newby Teas was founded in London around the change of the century, with the mission of obtaining, mixing, preserving and serving the world’s most delicate teas.
