Limited Edition 2026 Sourcing Journey Teas

Limited Edition Journey Through India's North Eastern Tea Corridor Summer 2026 Collection Every year, we return to India to reconnect with the farmers and artisans behind Herbs & Kettles. These sourcing trips are the heart of what we do. They allow us to taste teas at their origin, strengthen relationships that span generations, and discover remarkable new teas that never make it to large commercial markets. This June, we traveled across five states in northeastern India during the monsoon season. From the remote hills of Mizoram near the India Myanmar border to the tea villages of Assam, the valleys of Arunachal Pradesh, and the misty mountains of Darjeeling, every stop brought new stories, old friendships, and unforgettable teas. Along the way, we explored forests filled with wild tea trees, watched artisans craft tea using techniques passed down through generations, shared meals with farming families, and visited the village school in Dhotre, Darjeeling that we continue to support. The teas in this collection are the result of that journey. Some are returning favorites. Some are extremely limited batches. Others are being offered for the very first time as pre-releases. We hope every cup brings you a little closer to the people and places that make these teas so special.
