At PT Kabepe Chakra, we blend over six decades of tradition with modern innovation to produce world-class teas. From our beginnings in 1956 with Tiedeman Van Kerchem, we’ve grown into a trusted tea specialist managing five estates and nine factories in West Java.
Committed to sustainability, we partner with over 300 local farmers and follow global standards like Rainforest Alliance and Ethical Tea Partnership. Our mission is to deliver premium teas that reflect our heritage, promote well-being, and inspire tea lovers worldwide.
Kabepe Chakra combines traditional and modern methods to harvest finest tea leaves from its own plantations. Our tea leaves then undergo a fine-tuned process with meticulous attention to provide teas of distinctive character, flavor and aroma. We offer a vast selection of products, namely single origin, blended and specialty tea. In addition to our immense range of products and global experiences, we have a team of proficient tea sommeliers ready to cater to each customer’s desired taste profile.
