In 1992, John Larsen and David Thompson resolved to pick the world's best teas and bring them home to Australia. With no ties to specific gardens or regions, L&T tasters are free to choose from the very best of the best in any garden, in any region, in any given season. During such seasons, often only a few weeks long, we compete with the world to buy premium leaf for your enjoyment. Now, as we venture even farther afield, new and exciting teas are sampled and subjected to the same stringent scrutiny before they’re judged worthy of the Larsen & Thompson imprint.
