Collection: JING Tea

Loose leaf tea is the ultimate way to experience the true essence of tea. Here's why:

Flavour: High-quality loose leaf tea offers an unparalleled range and depth of flavor compared to regular tea bags. The whole leaves have ample space to unfurl and release their natural flavours, resulting in a more robust and satisfying cup of tea.

Perfect Cup for Tea Lovers: With loose leaf tea, you have complete control over the brewing process. You can customise the strength and taste to your exact preference, ensuring that every sip is a delightful experience tailored to your liking.

Socially Responsible: When you choose loose leaf tea, you are supporting smaller producers who prioritise quality and ethical sourcing. These producers often have a deep understanding of tea cultivation and take pride in delivering the finest teas to tea enthusiasts.

Environmentally Responsible: Loose leaf tea is not only a treat for your taste buds but also for the environment. Unlike tea bags, loose leaf tea typically uses less packaging, reducing waste and minimising its impact on the planet. Additionally, many loose leaf teas are biodegradable, further contributing to a sustainable tea-drinking experience.

When it comes to producing and consuming food and drink, we need to change our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the environment. This sentiment has been echoed by JING founder Ed for many years. During a trip to Asia seventeen years ago, he discovered something that would shape his perspective on the future. "The tea culture there fulfilled everything I wanted to change about my own relationships with food and drink," he reflects.

Asian tea culture revolves around the concept of single garden tea. "Single garden tea captivated me instantly. Its taste was exquisite, and everything surrounding it was deeply meaningful and interconnected. It was about savouring the gifts of nature while promoting health and well-being. And as I delved deeper into this world, I discovered the incredible artisans and places behind each cup," Ed explains.

At JING, we believe that tea is more than just a beverage. It is a catalyst for transformation. Through the centuries-old traditions of Asian tea culture, we invite you to embark on a journey of discovery, connection, and mindfulness.

Each cup of JING tea is a testament to the artistry and expertise of the tea masters who carefully cultivate and process the leaves. We source our teas directly from the finest tea gardens, ensuring that every sip is a reflection of the terroir and the hands that nurtured it.

By embracing the principles of single garden tea, we honour the environment and the communities that sustain it. Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our sourcing practices. We strive to minimise our ecological footprint at every step of the tea journey, from cultivation to packaging.

But JING is more than just a purveyor of exceptional teas. We are ambassadors of a philosophy that celebrates the beauty of simplicity and the power of mindful living. Through our range of teas, tea accessories, and educational resources, we invite you to explore the transformative potential of tea.

Join us on this journey as we rediscover the joy of slowing down, savouring the moment, and forging deeper connections with ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Together, let's embrace the transformative power of Asian tea culture.

Dedication to Flavour. Care for the Environment.

This is what unites us with the producers behind our teas.

We’ve travelled far and wide to build a network of expertly selected tea makers. These journeys have taken us to the wild, ancient forests of Yunnan, up into the foothills of the Himalayas, through the lush coastal prefectures of Japan and beyond. On the way, we’ve shared long lunches, precarious car journeys and learnt “cheers” in many dialects. Our network is built on personal relationships with tea producers with whom we share a commitment to teas of the highest quality, and environmentally responsible farming methods.

Every tea producer we work with is an accomplished master craftsman, with a wealth of expertise that enables each of them to create their unique tea. For some, this knowledge has been from generations-long growing on the same plot, as it is with the Miyazakis and the Gyokuro tea they produce in Japan. Others like the Chen family, who oversaw the conversion of their family’s land to organic, have dedicated their life’s work to understanding new techniques to perfect their tea and protect their land in Taiwan.
