About Leaf & Kettle
Tea from small gardens, packed in Berlin for life after tea bags
We buy directly from small gardens in Japan, China, India and Taiwan, pack every tea in Berlin in bags that keep the aroma, and tell you exactly how to brew it.

Whole leaves, made easy to brew well
We want curious drinkers to leave tea bags behind and enjoy whole leaves at home, without guesswork.
Small gardens grow tea in quantities a large blender would overlook. Buying from them directly means we know where each tea comes from, and you taste leaves picked and processed with care, not a uniform mix.
Good leaves can still taste flat if the water is too hot or the steep too long. That is why every tea page gives you the water temperature, the steeping time and how many times the leaves can be infused again. Follow the note once, then adjust to your taste.
What we hold to, and how you notice it
Four habits shape every tea we sell.
