Producer Membership

The European Speciality Tea Association, is an inclusive membership association for tea professionals and organisations around the world.

As a member of The European Speciality Tea Association, you will join a growing network of tea people that spans the globe. Our members oversee every step of the value chain, from the tea plants in the ground to the sip in the cup.

Being a member of the community means that you recognise the importance of collaboration and are willing and excited to contribute.

Joining means coming together to share knowledge and inspire innovation with other individuals who are driven to improve the future of speciality tea.

We have designed this new membership category specifically for tea producers, be they large plantations or smaller tea gardens in traditional growing areas of South and South East Asia and East Africa, new growing areas such as North, South and Central America, or Europe. If you fit into any of these groups and are interested in speciality then we would love you to join us.

Producer Memberships range from £200 - £550 (€220 - €600)

At present our website is only able to take payments in Sterling. We will update this in due course, in the meantime please convert your payment to Sterling. [Sterling: 1 / Euro: 1.20 / US Dollar: 1.30 / Japanese Yen: 160 / Chinese RMB: 9.00 / Indian Rupee: 100]
