Black teas account for nearly 90 percent of tea consumption in the west, and are known to range from flowery to fruity, nutty and spicy.

Ceylon Teas come fro the island of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, just south of the Indian subcontinent. Most Ceylon Teas are grown in the mountain regions of the island at elevations between 3,000 and 8,000 feet on the southeastern part of the island - teas grown from the high-test elevations are known as the champagne of Ceylon teas. The finest Ceylon teas are harvested in the late summer in the eastern parts of the island, and in late spring in the western regions.

Mighty Leaf Tea was born for the sole purpose of infusing life into an ancient indulgence by creating tea products that reach new heights of quality and innovation.

The genesis of Mighty Leaf Tea came in 1996 as a result of a shared passion and dream envisioned by husband-and-wife team Gary Shinner and Jill Portman when they founded their teahouse on Fillmore St. in San Francisco. Their passion is for creating the most incredible handcrafted tea blends found anywhere, globally sourcing the finest ingredients available. Paralleling the highest standards of quality at Mighty Leaf Tea is ongoing creative innovation. Our specially created handcrafted Tea Pouches are designed to unleash the essence of the quality that is Mighty Leaf Tea. Supporting our quality and innovation is our promise to deliver the highest level of customer service excellence in serving you the finest tea products available.

Mighty Leaf Tea is now available in a number of locations including retail outlets, many hotels and fancy restaurants. While it wasn’t the partners’ first intent to enter the retail market, the constant requests for a take home version of their unique product created a demand. In fact, their introduction into the retail market helped sales increase from 10% to 23% within one year. From the tea selection to the silky wrapping to the tea top lid, Mighty Leaf Tea delivers a delicious cup of tea.
