Bitaco black tea is blended with cacao from local cooperatives and small producers in Tumaco, Colombia, who produce some of the finest and most aromatic cocoas in the world.

This prized tea took top prize in the flavored hot tea competition at Global Tea Championships 2017.

The pristine, sustainable environment where Bitaco teas are grown, the laborious hands that pick the leaves, the spring waters that nourish the tea plants, and the unique and exotic Colombian origin all result in a delicious cup of tea - you truly can taste the difference!

Established in the 1950s by the Llano family, the Bitaco Tea Estate is nestled alongside a thriving, protected rainforest in the Bitaco Regional Forest Reserve. Their teas are cultivated 6,000 feet above sea level in the mist-capped Andes, in rich volcanic soil that naturally promotes lush tea plant growth. Bitaco uses sustainable farming practices with respect for people and the planet, and created Fundación Agrícola Himalaya to develop education programs for children and promote the improvement of infrastructure, recreational activities, local culture, and access to technology.
