Our Story

• The Hillcart Tales, reflects the rich knowledge,
  understanding and appreciation towards tea which
  has been acquired over 120 years of perseverance
  and affinity towards the Camellia Sinensis leaf
  and its many behaviours. We are proud of our
  legacy and expertise in the art of blending and
  it is this inheritance which keeps our passion
  for tea alive in every cup of The Hillcart Tales.
