Ahmad Tea and its luxury sub-brand, Galerie du Thé, are delighted to announce that they have secured a new retail listing with the world's leading luxury department store: Harrods.

Ahmad Tea, which is available in over 90 countries, has created an iconic collaboration with Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, which will be available in Harrods' London store, as well as online. In the collection of high-quality teas, called 'Beyond the Leaf', there are four classic loose tea blends, each presented in a sophisticated and eye-catching caddy. A selection pack which includes all four blends in teabags is also available.

 Making its retail debut will be a selection of teas from Ahmad Tea's luxury loose leaf range: Galerie du Thé. Its mission is to deliver tea so fresh that it captures the essence of the garden where it grew. The teas are from small-batch gardens in remote places.

 There will be eight loose leaf teas available in Harrods in addition to a Discovery Pack which showcases a variety of extraordinary blends. The selection includes the Great Taste Award-winning Jasmine Dragon Pearls, Kirimara Sunrise, Secret Garden and Emperor's Peak.

 Gary Winslade, Ahmad Tea UK Sales Manager commented, “We're incredibly excited to have secured this listing with Harrods and to have the opportunity to introduce Harrods' clientele to our range of exceptional tasting blends. Harrods is the perfect retail destination for our teas as we share the same laser focus on high quality.”

 Harrods is the latest in a string of UK listings for Ahmad Tea which has also recently launched its teas in Booths, Ocado and World Duty Free.

 Ahmad Tea is a family company founded and run-on family values, headquartered in Southampton, UK. It only works with the finest tea gardens around the world and every blend is sampled seven times during the journey from being plucked to cup – a process overseen by its Chairman, Mr Rahim Afshar, and his team of world-leading Tea Masters. Nothing leaves the Ahmad Tea tasting room until they are sure it will make an extraordinary cup of tea, destined to inspire tea lovers everywhere.
