Why the name Shibui?
Shibui (pronounced Shee – boo – ee) is a Japanese word which refers to something that appears simple but is actually pretty complex. We felt this summed up our tea perfectly. Tea is simply tea, surely? Ah but look into it in more detail and you find it’s a little bit more complicated than that.
Is Shibui Tea organic?
We aim to get the best quality teas and also the try to achieve consistency which is sometimes difficult to do if organic. We are registered with the Soil Association in the UK and do stock some loose teas and pyramid tea bags which are organic – those that are have the word organic in the name.
Is Shibui Tea fair trade?
Our tea is ethically sourced through our partners but it is not fair trade certified.
