Tea Culture Academy
Every cup has its own story. Origin depends on the tea in the package: Ceylon identifies Sri Lankan origin, green tea describes a tea style, and herbal or fruit infusions are made from a range of botanicals.
Origin Map
Tea is shaped by geography before it is shaped by the brewer. The same plant can become bright black tea or delicate green tea, while herbs and fruits create infusions with their own traditions.
Black Tea
Bright, brisk, and full of character
Ceylon tea is tea from Sri Lanka, where regions and elevations create different expressions. Beta Tea's range includes Ceylon black teas; check each package for the tea's specific style, grade, and tasting notes.

Green Tea
Fresh, light, and calm
Green tea is a style made from tea leaves handled differently from black tea. Beta Tea's range includes Chinese green tea styles such as Gunpowder; use the individual product page and package for details about a particular tea.

Herbal & Fruit Tea
Comforting, aromatic, and expressive
Herbal and fruit infusions use ingredients beyond tea leaves, such as herbs, fruit, or spices. Beta Tea offers several botanical blends; check the exact ingredients and caffeine information on each product rather than assuming all infusions share one origin or recipe.
Ingredients vary by blend
Some can be enjoyed warm or chilled

From Garden To Cup
Climate, altitude, soil, and harvest timing all influence how a tea tastes before it ever reaches the teapot.
Black tea is oxidized for depth, green tea is handled to preserve freshness, and herbal infusions are blended from fruits, flowers, leaves, and botanicals.
The final origin is your cup: water, time, measure, and attention decide whether the tea feels light, strong, bright, or comforting.
