Vibrant, flat shaped leaves. This is made in a similar way to Lonjing Dragon Well Tea from China, a style known as ‘Emperor’s Tea’.

Fresh grassy aroma; nutty, clean flavour. A very distinctive green tea.

The Gold Standard of Georgian greens. Founding members of the Organic Tea Growers’ Association, these leaves lead the way in regenerative farming.

Rich lemon, mown grass aroma; floral, mint flavour and long aftertaste.

A classically Georgian green., hand picked from the hills near Georgia’s Tea City, Ozurgeti. We can fulfil extremely large orders with this tea, though it is still made with artisanal methods in small batches.

The early grapefruit aroma gives way to fruity, marzipan and floral flavours.

An exceptional red tea. Long, twisted leaves, not fully oxidised to give a gorgeous red colour. Spring, early and late summer flushes are available.

May is more delicate and fruity, August richer and nuttier. Aromas of orange zest and bread; roasted hazelnut flavours. Rich ruby colour, particularly August harvest.

An exceptional black tea from Imereti. This is Georgia’s highest altitude plantation; the bushes remain under snow until late spring, which gives this and the white tea extra richness from the slow growth.

Rich, caramel and biscuity aroma and taste. Magnificent deep red colour.

Some of the ecologically best tea in Georgia and indeed the world. With the Organic Tea Producers’ Association’s strict standards, these are grown in a highly regenerative farming system.

Lovely, delicate aroma and flavour, low in tannin. Honey and fresh, woody notes.

An exceptionally rare tea. After the breakup of the Soviet Union, tea plantations were abandoned. Some have become wild, biodiverse forests, where these teas are harvested from tall tea trees once, or at most twice per year.

Light, spiced honey aroma; gentle sweetness, with a long, bitter finish.

A black tea from two of our favourite tea characters! A limited production from the family’s recently restored tea plantation.

Classic Georgian woody, bakery notes. Smooth and semi-savoury. If tea could be a buttered croissant, this would be it.

The earliest buds are picked soon after the snows melt at this high altitude plantation. A white tea is the best way to sample terroir and the slow, late growth makes this white tea very special.

Gentle, yet intense. Leafy aroma.

A rich, dark oolong with with a pale orange colour. This is Nargiza’s speciality. Twice rolled and fired by hand in a wok, this is truly and artisanal tea.

Beautiful light orange colour.

Wild blueberry leaves, harvested in the Imeretian mountains.

These rolled twisted leaves are made with the black tea process, rolling and fermenting the leaves to make a rich tea.

Fruity aroma. Black tea flavour with a strong lemony kick. Weaker brews have a delicious Nuri-like marine flavour, but we always drink it strong.

Artisanal black tea alternative, wild blueberry leaves have been fermented into tea in Georgia for centuries.

Cirtus, fruity aroma. Black tea flavour, with tangy lemon/orange flavour. A very classic example of this type of tea.

A Nela-Nela flagship! Whole blackberry leaves, plucked from the slopes of Mt. Kvamli and Askhi. They are orthodox rolled and oxidised like a mild red tea.

Rich flavour reminiscent of a woody red tea. Tannic if overbrewed, they are just enough to give it an edge for anyone looking to switch to a caffeine-free tea hit. Floral and grassy, like freshly cut woodland undergrowth, slightly rosey.

Nela-Nela’s signature tea and our best seller by far. The young leaves from rewilding white mulberry trees, a hangover of silk production in Lechkhumi are rolled and partially oxidised like an oolong tea.

Rich and nutty, chocolate aroma and taste and thick texture. Mulberry leaves contain a compound which slows the uptake of sugar into the blood, so is known to be useful for diabetics.

We just love it for the flavour though.

Mmm… quince. One of the well known teas of rural Georgia. This quince leaf tea is made only once per year in early spring.

Deep yellow, caramel colour. Almond-like flavour and very delicious. Downy leaves.

You didn’t see that coming, did you?!

These flowers are deliciously… well, floral… and honey sweet.

A lovely, light tisane with oodles of flavour and looks it looks so beautiful and flowery. A sure favourite!

Fingers crossed for the 2023 harvest - this tea is stunning, but dependent on the August weather..

This is richer and more tea-like than a conventional raspberry leaf tea. Well known for use in pregnancy, this one is more delicious! Very good blended with a bit of mint too.

Lemony, and fresh; this is divine - but subtle. An incredibly difficult process with these leaves, but one maker has perfected the method.

Light, strongly lemon, citrus fruit flavour with the feel of a green or white tea - yet a natural caffeine-free tisane.
