Clipper Teas is a renowned British brand established in 1984 by Mike and Lorraine Brehme in Dorset, England. The brand holds the distinction of being the UK's first Fairtrade tea company and is widely recognized for its commitment to organic, natural ingredients and plastic-free tea bags.

Today, Clipper's production remains primarily centered in Beaminster, Dorset, where they blend and pack their wide variety of teas. While the raw tea leaves and botanicals are sourced globally from regions like India, Africa, and Sri Lanka to ensure quality and ethical standards, the final manufacturing and blending process occurs in the UK.

Ownership of the brand transitioned in 2012 when it was acquired by what is now Ecotone (formerly Wessanen). Ecotone is a major European food company specializing in organic and vegetarian products. Headquartered in Lyon, France, Ecotone oversees Clipper as part of its portfolio of sustainable brands, maintaining the original mission of producing high-quality, ethically sourced beverages for a global market.
