The Story Behind Devindo
“Devindo the Divine Herbal Tea from Indonesia”
Fate and opportunity brought me to Scotland to begin a life and a family with my husband and our two daughters. I originally had a background in tea in my native Indonesia. Whilst I fell in love and embraced my new country, I missed the quality of tea that had been part of my life.
Most teas in the United Kingdom were uninspiring – heavy black teas and poorly blended teas from low quality plants.
Sadly, a lot of tea I found in our popular brands are indeed “fanning’s” which are the left-overs when the highest-grade leaves have been extracted. Fanning’s are the dust that is left behind and used by commercial tea companies to bulk out tea mixing them with a few quality leaves.
Missing these good quality leaves, I regularly had some shipped over from Indonesia and of course they were often offered to friends who quickly developed a taste. As the shipping increased to meet the demand from my friends, I had the genesis of an idea to bring good quality teas to these shores.
From this seed Devindo was born – the name reflected my own name Devi and my native Indonesia.
Initially I introduced only the more popular teas such as Black and Green teas from the Gunung Rosa in Western Java and Gunung Dempo plantations in Sumatra – Mount Dempo is the highest stratovolcano in South Sumatra province, but as my ethnicity is both Chinese and Indonesian, I was able to travel to China and further afield to source many different and exciting new teas.
