Terroir & Climate
At 388 metres elevation in Misiones, Tealera Libertad Srl occupies a relatively low-altitude growing environment in a subtropical region of north-eastern Argentina. Estates at this latitude and elevation typically experience warm, humid conditions year-round, with seasonal rainfall patterns that can support vigorous vegetative growth. The climate in this part of Misiones generally allows for an extended growing season compared to higher-altitude tea regions, though temperature fluctuations between seasons can influence flush timing and leaf development.
The combination of altitude and latitude tends to favour robust leaf growth, and estates in similar environments often produce teas with a straightforward, full-bodied character. The terroir at this elevation generally does not confer the cooler, slower maturation that higher-altitude gardens experience, meaning that leaf metabolism and oxidation potential may differ accordingly. Misiones is one of the few tea-producing regions in South America outside the Andean foothills, and its particular climate profile shapes the agronomic practices and harvest windows employed by growers in the area.
Tea Produced
Tealera Libertad Srl produces black tea. Estates in Misiones at comparable elevations typically yield black teas with a malty, robust profile and a straightforward, brisk cup. The warm growing conditions and extended season generally result in teas that are well-suited to blending, offering body and strength rather than the delicate aromatics associated with high-elevation gardens. The oxidation process in such climates tends to produce a dark liquor with moderate astringency and a clean, if not particularly complex, finish.
Supply Chain & Market Position
Tealera Libertad Srl is recorded as supplying Finlays, a significant multinational tea and ingredients business with procurement operations across multiple continents. Finlays sources large volumes of tea for blending, retail brands, and food-service customers, and its supplier base spans established and emerging origins alike. The connection to Finlays indicates that Tealera Libertad Srl is integrated into a professional, internationally oriented supply chain, and that its output meets the quality and traceability standards required by large-scale buyers. Argentine tea remains a relatively niche origin in global terms, and estates supplying major traders such as Finlays occupy an important position in raising the profile of South American leaf in blended and commodity markets.
