Tea of the Highest Quality
Darjeeling is grown on the southern slopes of the Himalayas. Its high altitude, steep hillsides, intense sunshine, and cool temperatures shape its delicate and distinctive character. This is why Darjeeling is often referred to as the "champagne of teas."
Teekampagne is the world's largest purchaser of Darjeeling tea. By focusing on a small product range, direct sourcing, and large package sizes, we are able to offer tea of the highest quality at an exceptionally attractive price.

Two leaves and a bud
Darjeeling Tea Is Renowned for Its Exceptional Quality.
Only the top two young leaves and the delicate bud are carefully hand-plucked during harvest. This selective picking method is one of the key reasons for Darjeeling tea’s distinctive character and outstanding quality.
20,000 Picks for One Kilogram of Tea
It takes more than 20,000 careful picks to harvest a single kilogram of tea. Years of experience and a keen understanding of the perfect moment of ripeness are essential to ensuring the highest quality leaves are selected.
Pure Enjoyment
We deliberately focus on a very small selection of teas. This allows us to buy with expertise and care. We visit Darjeeling several times a year and maintain close personal relationships with the tea gardens we work with.

Fair to People and Fair to Nature
Great tea should never come at the expense of the people who grow it. One important contribution is paying high purchase prices, which create the foundation for better wages and improved living conditions.
Equally important is protecting the authenticity of the original product. Genuine Darjeeling and Assam teas require considerable effort to produce, as they are cultivated under challenging conditions. When tea from other regions is falsely sold as Darjeeling or Assam, it causes significant economic harm to the growers who have invested the work and care required to produce the real thing.

Protecting Authenticity
To combat unfair competition and destructive price pressure, the Tea Board of India issues certification seals for genuine Darjeeling and genuine Assam teas. Only importers who obtain a license for these seals are permitted to import these teas.
That is why you will find the official authenticity seal, together with the corresponding license number, on every package of Teekampagne tea.
Organic Cultivation
Teekampagne sources its tea exclusively from organically certified tea gardens.
Organic farming helps preserve the environment and protects the people working in the tea gardens from exposure to harmful agricultural chemicals.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Teekampagne has received multiple awards in recognition of its environmental commitment.
Among 346 international applicants, Teekampagne was awarded the Gold Trophy of the European Green Award 2021for achieving a meaningful balance between environmental, social, and economic interests. In 2022, Teekampagne received the Fairtrade Award, and in 2023 it was nominated for the German Sustainability Award.

Reforestation in Darjeeling
3.2 Million Trees Planted
Due to its steep mountain slopes and decades of deforestation, Darjeeling is highly vulnerable to soil erosion. Reforestation is urgently needed to prevent further landslides and the loss of fertile topsoil.
As part of its corporate responsibility, Teekampagne initiated the SERVE project (Save the Environment and Regenerate Vital Employment). SERVE is funded exclusively by Teekampagne and implemented locally by WWF India. Since 1985, the project has planted 3.2 million trees in the Darjeeling region.
