In November 2020, Jersey Fine Tea proudly unveiled its inaugural batches of whole-leaf black, green, and white teas, each a testament to complexity and rich expression. Since then, they have worked on developing new teas and honing their craft in producing speciality loose leaf teas. Beyond crafting artisanal teas, their narrative is interwoven with a commitment to the coexistence of people and nature. Being more than merely a business; they are a story that began with a question and evolved into a blend of ethical farming, biodiversity conservation, tea cultivation, and the artisanal crafting of fine teas.

With a horticultural background and as a Chartered Horticulturalist, Matt first grew tea as an experimental crop when studying and subsequently grew tea out of interest. Years later, this relevant experience, along with his expertise in land management, culminated in discussions about the setting up of tea gardens which then went on to become Jersey Fine Tea. As the Bartlett family grow this project, their unwavering passion and enthusiasm for the art of growing and producing tea symbolises a true labour of love. In every cup of tea poured, the essence of Jersey's land and soul is captured, marking a new chapter in the island's tea legacy.
