Harrisons & Crosfield has the most complete and innovative line of tea products that are based on British standards - the proper amount of tea in a teabag, the use of only natural or organic flavouings, clearly and honestly stating leaf size or grade on all packages. Traditionally, Classic English Tea Merchants dedicated themselves to providing high quality teas in accordance with British tea industry standards. These standards were widely accepted in the Britain of the 1800's and 1900's vigorously applied so that the good and fine teas were selected, carefully blended in the right proportions, and offered for sale on the basis of clearly defined and widely accepted grades and standards. Unfortunately, over the years, quality levels were diluted in most of the western world. In the case of America, which has been primarily a coffee drinking nation, the experience and knowledge of the tea industry was never completely developed. While the U.S. has been in the forefront of production and innovation (e.g. the teabag, iced tea), the specific skills of tasting, buying and blending teas were not well developed. To revive these standards for today's tea consumer, a company was incorporated 6 years ago in England to revive these traditions of the original English tea merchants. Today's Harrisons & Crosfield's mission is to acquire the highest quality teas and natural flavourings to provide the broadest packaged product line in the industry. This means having our London tea buyers with many years experience select the teas and carefully blend or flavour them in the British tradition. The teas are then shipped in bulk to the U.S. to utilize the innovative packaging and production techniques of the U.S. The goal is to have the finest available premium teas packaged in the form that meets the needs of today's consumer.
