Origins of Our Tea
Brodies have been importing and blending tea for over 150 years since the time of the great tea clippers which docked at the bustling Port of Leith in Scotland, laden with precious cargoes from the farthest corners of the earth.
Our tea is still sourced from the established tea growing countries of India, Africa, Sri Lanka and China and we continue in that spirit of exploration by also working with emerging tea-growing countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam and Zimbabwe.
Another testament to our commitment to quality is our membership of the prestigious Tea Council since 1979, when the Tea Grading System was founded.
Blending of Our Tea
Tea is an evergreen tropical plant from the Camellia Sinensis family and is produced from the green tender shoots which are picked by hand.
The leaves are then withered by exposure to warm, dry air, then rolled - breaking up the cells and releasing the natural juices and enzymes which give the tea its characteristic flavor.
We select teas with varying characteristics, that when combined create a pleasing, well-balanced flavor to our special blends.
The next stage is fermentation when the leaves are spread out and cooled in a humid atmosphere. Finally the leaves are dried in a hot air chamber and graded by their size.
Assam gives a strong malty taste, traditionally associated with a breakfast tea, while teas from Kenya and Rwanda produce the light, bright, refreshing flavor of afternoon tea.

Our Tea Sourcing Policy
Brodies have been importing and blending quality tea since 1867 and became members of the UK tea council, now the UK Tea & Infusions council in 1979. All teas are assessed and tasted before purchase. All new seasons’ shipment teas are bought on the basis of production samples, landed samples and delivered samples.
Our tea suppliers adhere to International & National Laws and source the tea ethically. Every year we consult our suppliers and query them about their processes and procedures.

Once you try this tea, no other will do. I’ve reordered it. One bag is good for a cup or two. It is not bitter, not weak and no after taste. It is spectacular if you enjoy real tea.

Bought as a gift for a tea lover. She shared with her family and they all thought the tea was high quality and really enjoyed the combination of morning and afternoon teas. It was a big hit.

I bought this for my grandmother's 95th Birthday. She is from Paisley, Scotland and has been in America since the 70s. She said it was the perfect tea!

Bought this for a friend's birthday. She loves Scottish tea and loved this brand. A bit pricey but well worth it to make her day.

High quality tea. I can’t drink any American teas after visiting Scotland. Love having this every morning

I was looking for a Scottish breakfast tea. Then happened upon the Edinburgh blend and thought I would try it. It is smooth, tasting, and a lovely tea to have any time in the day. It does not have a kick of a true Scottish breakfast tea. I still plan to get a Scottish breakfast tea to get a good punch of energy in the morning.
