Gorilla White

Description

Gorilla White is a white tea from the Kisoro region in Uganda, produced by Women in Tea. At 1,600 metres altitude, only the buds are hand-picked. One kilogram requires approximately twenty thousand buds—precision work that demands patience and craftsmanship.

After picking, the buds dry for four hours in the open air, followed by eight to fifteen hours in the sun. This traditional technique preserves the natural sweetness and nutrients.

The result is a refined white tea with a light, clear infusion and delicate floral and sweet notes. By choosing Gorilla White, you support female tea farmers in Uganda and contribute to education, better healthcare and the strengthening of local communities.

Tea Garden

Women in Tea

In Uganda, women have been picking the majority of tea leaves for generations, but had little say over processing or price. More than a thousand women changed that.

In 2023, they founded Women in Tea Uganda: their own association, their own product and a fairer share of the chain.

Tea Kulture

Every remarkable tea begins long before it reaches your cup. It begins in living soil, in mountain mists, in the patient hands of tea masters who have spent generations perfecting their craft. At Tea Kulture, tea is not simply a beverage it is a celebration of nature, culture and human connection.

Working directly with exceptional tea gardens across Asia, Africa and Europe, Tea Kulture brings together rare loose-leaf teas that reflect the unique terroir of their origin. Every harvest tells the story of its landscape, its climate and the people who dedicate their lives to cultivating it with respect for nature. By choosing direct trade, supporting local communities and preserving traditional craftsmanship, Tea Kulture demonstrates that exceptional tea can nourish not only those who drink it, but also the people and ecosystems that make it possible.

At Farmatuur, we believe that a love affair with nature is also a love affair with tea. Every leaf carries the quiet intelligence of the landscape from which it grows, inviting us to slow down, reconnect and appreciate the extraordinary beauty that nature offers in its purest form.
