Hawai’i Black

Hawai’i Black Tea is a rare and exquisite offering, exclusive to Teafields Ltd in the UK. Grown on the mineral-rich slopes of the Mauna Kea Volcano, this tea is among the world’s rarest, with an annual production of just 5 kilograms. 

Provenance

Nestled within a living tropical rainforest ecosystem, Big Island Tea’s five-acre farm thrives on a 400-year-old bed of volcanic ash, surrounded by native ’ohia trees and other flora. This unique environment imparts a distinctive character to the tea, influenced by the nutrient-rich soil and diverse plant life. Each tea plant is seed-grown, promoting genetic diversity and agricultural sustainability, with natural cross-pollination and no pesticide use. 

Tasting Notes

Hawai’i Black Tea offers a light, delicate infusion with top notes of dates and honey, complemented by undertones of nutmeg.  This complex flavor profile is a testament to the tea’s unique terroir and meticulous handcrafting process.
