For decades, the world never tasted true Georgian tea. During the Soviet era, our tradition was kept within closed borders — widely consumed across the USSR but never properly introduced to global markets. A remarkable tea culture existed, yet remained largely undiscovered. Today, Greengold returns this hidden legacy to the world: organic, distinctive, deeply rooted in origin.
Founded in 2016, Greengold (Laituri Tea Company) has rehabilitated 25+ hectares of abandoned high-mountain tea plantations in Guria — one of the country's most famous tea regions, where high-mountain fresh air meets the Black Sea breeze. Our seed-grown bushes rest under cold Georgian winters and yield only 7 months a year, producing tea of remarkable complexity. Every harvest is hand-picked; all plantations are organic-certified for EU and US markets.
In the region of Guria, West Georgia, the tea harvest tradition has been alive for many centuries — and our company is proudly continuing this heritage.
We have modernized the long history of tea harvesting in West Georgia with our highly equipped, technology-driven Tea Factory.
