Clipper is a pioneering ethical tea brand that gained significant recognition as the UK's first Fairtrade tea company. Founded in 1984 in a Dorset kitchen, the brand was built on the philosophy of sourcing high-quality, organic ingredients while ensuring fair treatment for farmers and workers. The product is widely known for its unbleached, plant-based, and biodegradable tea bags, reflecting a commitment to both natural purity and environmental sustainability.
While the raw organic tea leaves are sourced from premium gardens globally—specifically from regions like India, Africa, and Sri Lanka—the final product is blended and packed in the United Kingdom. This ensures that the British heritage and blending expertise remain at the core of the brand's production process.
Throughout its history, Clipper has transitioned from a small family-run business to a global player in the sustainable beverage market. Today, the brand is part of the Ecotone group (formerly known as Wessanen), a European leader in organic and vegetarian food. This ownership allows Clipper to maintain its focus on biodiversity and ethical trade while benefiting from the logistical reach of a large international health-food corporation.
