Setting a New Standard for Tea
Great tea doesn’t begin in a factory.
It starts with the soil, the harvest, and the care taken at origin. We work with the highest-quality whole tea leaves, carefully selected for their flavour, aroma, and natural character. Every batch is hand-picked to capture the delicate taste and complexity that only comes from leaves grown with care.
At Marna, we honour the centuries-old traditions of tea making - from the growing and harvesting of the leaves to the rituals of preparation - while reimagining how tea fits into modern life. Whether it’s a calming herbal infusion, a bold black tea, or a refreshing iced tea, our mission is to make tea relevant for today while staying true to its roots.
Direct From Origin
We partner directly with sustainable tea growers, sourcing teas before they are even harvested.
This approach ensures the highest quality while also supporting communities at the source, cutting out unnecessary middlemen so more resources reach the farmers. By choosing Marna, you’re supporting fairer wages, ethical practices, and a future where tea can be grown sustainably for generations to come.
Our Approach to Organic
Tea is a category that doesn’t fit neatly into the organic certification model, which is why you’ll rarely see high-quality tea brands carrying the organic label.
When we built Marna’s supply chain, we had two choices:
- Source from large, mass-market suppliers that can afford organic certification, but often underpay tea pickers and have fewer controls on quality, or
- Partner directly with smaller, specialist farms where we can ensure that the tea is grown and picked responsibly, ethically, and to the highest possible standard.
We chose the second route. Every tea we use is carefully sourced for quality and fairness, even if it doesn’t carry an official organic stamp. The organic label is valuable for certain products, but in tea it can be misleading. What matters most is how the tea is grown, picked, and processed - and we take that responsibility very seriously.
Bridging the Past and the Present
Tea has always been a symbol of connection, culture, and ritual. We believe that by respecting the craft and history behind every leaf, we can bring those values into the present - creating products that are both timeless and forward-thinking. We are here to raise the bar - on taste, sourcing, and how tea fits into modern life.
