Tanganda Tea is one of Zimbabwe’s most iconic exports, loved for its smooth flavour, rich aroma, and time-honoured growing traditions. From the first seed planted in the Eastern Highlands to the final teabag brewed in your kitchen, every step is rooted in care, expertise, and sustainability.
1. Planting & Cultivation
Tanganda begins its journey in the fertile soils of the Eastern Highlands, where perfect rainfall and cool mountain temperatures create ideal growing conditions. Skilled farmers plant and nurture each tea bush with precision, ensuring strong, healthy leaves that develop their signature flavour.
2. Sustainable Farming Practices
Tanganda’s estates prioritise environmentally responsible farming. This includes soil conservation, responsible water use, and long-term ecosystem balance - ensuring every cup supports ethical production.
3. Hand-Picked Harvesting
Tea workers carefully hand-pluck the youngest leaves and buds. This selective picking guarantees consistent quality and prevents bitterness, allowing only the finest leaves to continue to processing.
4. Processing the Perfect Leaf
Once harvested, the leaves move through withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying. Tanganda’s well-refined process protects the tea’s natural oils and deep aroma - the hallmark of a premium black tea.
5. Packaging & Quality Control
Before reaching the shelves, Tanganda undergoes strict quality checks to ensure freshness, flavour, and colour remain at their best.
From seed to sip, Tanganda Tea is a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and Zimbabwean pride - a tradition Billionhers is proud to share with customers across the UK.
