Clipper Teas was started in 1984 by Mike and Lorraine Brehme with just two chests of Assam tea from a single tea estate. Teas of such quality weren’t widely available at that time and proved to be a huge success.

The company hit its stride when it became involved with the Fair-trade Foundation. Clipper eventually launched the very first Fair-trade tea in 1994, but this was an ethical business from the start. «It was always about how you want to make a living," explains Mike. «I was in tea already, and I realized there was child labour involved and I thought, ‘That’s no way to make a living.’»

Clipper has always been innovative, too. Over the years we have introduced organic tea, coffee, white tea, Rooibos and the Japanese-style sencha. But everything we do has to be in line with the company’s principles, laid down by the founders as: «Always a pure, natural product — there isn’t a single artificial ingredient in any of the products.»
