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.

A delicious tea to wake up to each morning. Strong and malty exactly what a Scottish Breakfast tea should be.

This is great tea, and even though I received the wrong tea in the previous order (sent Scottish Breakfast tea), it was an easy mistake to forgive. Both teas are delicious, but Famous Edinburgh is my fave of the two. Makes a rich cup of tea quickly—I don’t steep it too long or it will be too strong for my stomach. The tin is classy, too. Also makes excellent, robust iced tea. Highly recommended!

It's my husband's new favorite tea. The reason for taking off one star is that the gorgeous tin it comes in was dented and scuffed.

Good strong breakfast tea but we hear it’s been discontinued so unsure what the replacement is like.

Happy with the product but it needs to be packaged and shipped better when half the reason to get it is the container. Just opened it and it’s dented, not going to bother sending it back to risk it again, just going to try reshaping it on my own. A fragile sticker would go a long way.

We attended the Edinburgh Tattoo as a hospitality guest within the Queens box and were given this tea brand as a gift. We fell in love with it so we brought more and more.The tea is smooth yet full bodyed, easy drinking with the morning toast or afternoon cake.

茶葉を見ますとCTCであることが分かります。おそらくCTCの茶葉のブレンドだということでしょう。 飲んでみますと、CTCの割には優しい印象でパンチは弱いですが、主張しすぎないので何杯でも飲むことができそうです。 普段飲みのミルクティー用の茶葉としては十分選択肢の中に入るかと思います。何よりamazonでCTCの茶葉を扱っていることが少ないので、ここでは非常に貴重な存在と言えるでしょう。

オレンジの色がきれいに出ます。細長い茶葉ではなく、丸くて小さいつぶ状のリーフでした。ロイヤルスコティッシュに比べると、あっさりしています。ミルクティーでのむには少し物足りないかも。タータンチェックの缶が可愛い。コレクションしたくなります。抽出時間、湯量を整えると、ぐっと香りがよくなります。
