GUEST TEA Kangra Valley Oolong - Loose Leaf

£12.00

Sale Sold out

Free UK delivery on orders over £25.

Produced on a fourth-generation estate nestled in the Kangra Valley, this amber oolong has the fresh, crisp character of a high mountain tea, with the distinctive honey and spice from nearby Darjeeling. Each leaf is hand-plucked on the Wah Tea Estate, set high amongst Palampur’s Dhauladhar Mountains. Lovingly managed by the Prakash family since the 1950s, the 'Chaiwalas', as they became known bring over a century of tea-growing expertise to every cup, ensuring the estate’s teas are carefully crafted for quality and flavour.

These twisted leaves produce a light, aromatic cup for any time of day. Unlike most oolongs, which get better as they're reinfused, we think that this tea tastes best on first infusion.

And just like the rest of our plastic-free packaging, our Guest Tea tubes are fully recyclable.

More about this tea

Sprawling over 526 acres of a picturesque valley in Palampur, the tea capital of northwest India, The Wah Tea Estate is the largest single-estate manufacturer of Kangra teas.

All teas on the pesticide-free estate - whether white, green, oolong, black or flavoured blends - are carefully hand-plucked before being manufactured using traditional techniques. Some machines date back to the early 1900s when the British still controlled the estate.

Since the 1950s, the Prakash family, with over six decades of tea legacy under their belts, manage every step through manufacturing to tasting each batch to ensure that quality and delicious flavour is preserved from garden to cup.

Why Tea Deserves Better

For too long, tea in the UK has meant cheap, dusty bags – designed for speed, not taste. As a tea-not-coffee drinker, our founder Emilie wanted more. So in 2012, she bought an old Citroën van, crowdfunded its conversion into a mobile tea bar, and started brewing proper, loose-leaf tea at events and markets around London.

What began in a van has grown into a business on a mission: to show just how good tea can be, when it’s done properly. That means better leaves, sourced with care from producers that align with our values, then brewed properly for maximum flavour. 12 years on, that mission remains the same and Good & Proper is now the proud supplier to the UK’s best cafes, restaurants, hotels and more, as well as to a loyal community of tea drinkers at home.
