How Your Tea's Made We're very proud of our plastic-free state-of-the-art factory, so much so that we wanted to let you know just how we use it to make your tea. Step 1 We responsibly source our tea leaves, ensuring fair living wages are paid and they're up to our high standards. Sometimes we unfortunately have to visit these beautiful countries... it's a tough job. Step 2 Once the leaves have been picked, withered, cooled and dried they're then cut, teared and curled before being aerated to reduce the moisture to 3%. Step 3 After the tea is bought to the UK, George then blends the tea to our secret recipe. We blend the different varieties of tea to ensure you have a consistent Smugglers Brew. Step 4 Once the tea has been tasted and approved it's then over to our IMA machine to drop the tea into our plastic free cornstarch paper teabags. Step 5 From here they travel down the conveyor to Beth, Tom and Lisa who pack them into their bright recyclable orange bags before being sealed for freshness. Step 6 Now all we need you to do is put the kettle on and enjoy a mug or two. It's not up to us to tell you how to make a cup of tea, it's all up to you from this point. Duncan & Jox
