Clipper was started in 1984 in a Dorset, England kitchen by a tea-obsessed husband and wife team. They wanted to share their love of great tea with a promise of ethical sourcing and natural production. The story began with just two chests of finest-quality Assam tea, sold to local health food shops and cafes. Today there are over 150 different Clipper products sold in over 50 countries. 
 

Clipper believe that every cup of tea counts. Their relentless quest for quality and attention to detail is matched only by their desire to always do the right thing. ‘Natural, fair and delicious’ isn’t just a tagline but a guide to every decision that Clipper make.

Natural
None of the Clipper range contain anything artificial. In 2018, Clipper was the world’s first tea company to switch to Plant-Based, Biodegradable, non-GM and unbleached tea bags. Clipper is also constantly working on ways to be greener, from production to packaging.

Fair
In 1994, Clipper became the UK’s first Fairtrade tea company, helping to write the Fairtrade Standards.  Twenty five years later Clipper is the world’s largest buyer of Fairtrade tea, supporting over 114,000 producers and their families across the globe.

Delicious
Taste is at the heart of everything that Clipper does. Clippers Master Tea Blenders Dan and James, work tirelessly to create blends that taste better than anyone else’s. Clipper even has won lots of lovely awards to prove it!
