Tea
Blending Cornish tea leaves with the finest leaves from Assam and Darjeeling creates a range of distinctive flavours.
Rare plants have been nurtured by the same family at Tregothnan since 1334.
The first tea was grown in the UK in 1999 to put the ‘English into English Tea’ and the most British tea in history was first sold in 2005.
Now, over 26 miles of tea bushes thrive in the unique microclimate, seven miles inland and with a deep-sea creek bringing regular fog. Manuka bushes have also thrived here since the 1880’s, the first grown outside of New Zealand and producing the most delicious honey.
Single origin honey.
Perfect for gifting, browse our exceptional selection of single origin honeys from the Tregothnan Estate, including the rare and sought-after Manuka honey, harvested from the estate’s private
walled gardens, renowned for its distinct flavour and natural properties. Carefully crafted by bees that forage on the diverse flora of this historic estate, each honey offers a taste of natural heritage.
Although Tregothnan is very small on the world’s tea production scale, we counter limitations of scale by producing some of the world’s rarest and highest rated teas.
