About Pluckley Tea

The Smith Family, owners of The Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company, have worked in the Tea Industry over four generations. Mr Richard Smith and his mother Janet Smith lived in Assam, India, until the 1970s. They then returned to England and founded our company in 1982.

The business started from the family home, where Richard and Janet hand-packed Tea bags from chests of ten thousand. This later became known as Pluckley Tea.

Our first customer was the local village shop. Since then, however, the outstanding reputation of this beverage has seen it adorn mugs and cups around the world. From our humble beginnings, we have expanded and now stock over 1,000 types of Loose Tea and 80 types of Coffee. Much of our success is in part thanks to Pluckley Tea.

Assam and Kenya Tea in Pluckley Tea Blend

The combination of Kenya and Assam Tea is a match made in heaven. Both types, however, are relatively new discoveries. A Scotsman named Robert Bruce first found Indian Tea plants growing in Assam in 1823. The first cultivation of Tea in Kenya wasn’t until 1918. Chinese Tea, in comparison, dates back to 2737 BCE! That’s around 5,000 years ago!

What these two Teas lack in history, they make up for in quality and taste. Most Kenya Tea grows in the highlands east of the Rift Valley at high altitudes between 1,500 and 2,700 metres.

Assam Tea, meanwhile, flourishes right in between the northern Himalayas, the Brahmaputra plains and the Deccan plateau. This renowned Indian state consists of 312,210 hectares of Tea-growing land.

There is nothing quite like Pluckley Tea first thing in the morning or last thing at night. And, of course, it makes for an excellent cuppa’ at any time in between! Whatever your reason for choosing this beverage, you’ve chosen exceptionally well.
