Situated at elevations between 1200 and 1700 meters, this estate is renowned for its exceptional teas and commitment to sustainable practices. Founded in 1852 by German missionary Father Steinthal, who, along with his family, cultivated this land into a source of high-quality, single-estate teas.

Additional Information

Black tea production

Green tea

The production of green tea involves several distinct phases, each critical to developing the tea's unique flavour, color, and aroma:

  • Heating: Freshly picked tea leaves are quickly heated through pan-firing, steaming, or baking to deactivate enzymes and prevent oxidation, preserving the green color and fresh flavor.
  • Shaping: The leaves are rolled, twisted, or shaped into various forms to enhance their visual appeal and influence flavor release upon brewing.
  • Drying: The shaped leaves are carefully dried to reduce moisture content, stabilize the flavor, and ensure a long shelf life.

Each step is meticulously controlled to achieve the desired quality and characteristics of the finished green tea.

Organic certification

Organic certification and testing

All our teas are organic certified and tested for pesticides, ensuring they meet stringent quality standards. We steadfastly reject the use of artificial flavors and concentrated aromas. Our approach to creating flavored and blended teas is deeply intentional, involving the in-house selection and combination of each ingredient. Our commitment extends to using only organically certified, whole spices, deliberately avoiding grinding them into fine powders. This choice ensures our teas remain pure and clear, as finely ground spices can release excessive power into the brew, compromising its clarity. The essence of our fruit flavors comes from organic essential oils, obtained through cold press technology to preserve the natural qualities without the degradation that can occur with heat. Proudly, every ingredient in Nannuo Pop is organically certified, embodying our unwavering commitment to purity and quality, without exceptions. This commitment to quality and safety reflects our dedication to providing the best possible product to our customers, with a focus on health and environmental sustainability.

Every leaf in our collection and each ingredient that graces our blends is organically certified, ensuring that your tea experience is pure, natural, and unadulterated.
Our quest for best in class teas is a journey of meticulous selection, guided by the refined palates of experienced tea tasters. These connoisseurs of taste screen an extensive array of organic teas, conducting blind tastings that disregard price and origin, to focus solely on flavour. A tea earns its place in our collection only if it receives independent approval from at least two of our tasters, guaranteeing a selection that's truly the best. This rigorous selection process extends to our blends, where ingredients are chosen not just on experience but through exhaustive trial sessions, mixing a myriad of teas and spices in various ratios until the perfect balance is achieved.
