At Clipper we’ve always been a different kind of company.  Set up in 1984 by a tea obsessed husband and wife, who wanted to share their love of great tasting tea, with a promise of ethical sourcing and natural production, better for the people and the planet.

We believe that every cup counts. Clipper is the leading the way and the number one ethical brand in tea. All of our blends are sourced and made with a clear conscience, pure natural ingredients, and proudly blended and packed in the heart of Dorset, UK.

But why is being natural, fair and delicious so important?

It isn’t just a strapline, it is a guide to everything we make…

Serving natural & organic reduces chemicals and pesticides, which boosts biodiversity and helps nature thrive. Guided by our Organic principles we are committed to being GM-free and actively discourage the use of chemicals. We are pioneers of unbleached, plant-based and biodegradable tea bags and all of our envelopes and boxes are recyclable too! We never add anything artificial and even our decaffeination process is natural - using carbon dioxide - a completely natural resource found in the air we breathe rather than using nasty chemical solvents.

Clipper is proud to be the first and longest standing Fairtrade tea partner, striving to improve the the lives of farmers and their families globally and promoting gender equality. Fairtrade premiums allow the communities that help us produce our teas choose for themselves how to allocate funds according to their needs, such as building schools, providing lifesaving medical equipment and essential household items like beds. Clipper helped shaped the Fairtrade standards and now sells more Fairtrade tea than any other tea brand globally​.

Our delicious, award-winning blends reflect four decades of expert blending and meticulous sourcing expertise. We believe that every cup should be special. From careful sourcing to clever blending, it’s our attention to detail that makes people fall in love with our award–winning teas​. Using only the finest ingredients, no wonder Clipper tastes so good!

And its not just tea we make either, our ethical range of hot drinks includes natural, fair and delicious teas, coffees and hot chocolates.

So why wouldn’t you offer your customers a cup that not only delights their taste buds but also leaves them feeling good, knowing they’re making a positive difference with every sip from the UK’s most ethical tea brand.

There’s tea, then there’s good tea.
