Tea from Argentina has a clear red amber liquor, neutral taste with a balance of astringency. It is recognised worldwide for having excellent clarity when iced, for its high content of polyphenols, for its colour and for its mildness.
While most tea from Argentina is exported to the US, it also finds a home in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East among others.
Our four tea farms – Argenté, Campo Grande, Acaraguá and Tabay – cover an area of 2,000 hectares with soils that are deep red and rich in organic matter and minerals. Located 200-300m above sea level, the subtropical climate characterised by high summer temperatures and abundant rainfall creating fantastic conditions in which to grow tea.
