Santosa Estate is located on the Indonesian Island of Java, an island also famous for it’s coffee. The infusion of this black tea is sweet & jammy.

Over the next few hundred years, the industry grew and Java became a large player in the European markets. This unfortunately all changed with the onset of WWII, which after Indonesia had to rebuild its Country and tea industry. Today, teas from Santosa are prized the world over.
