About Us
My family used to be in the tea business, so I’ve always had access to really great tea. After marriage, Anjum quickly upscaled her daily Indian Chai with my Assam tea. We settled into this privilege and took our deeply satisfying cups of tea for granted.
But along came Covid, and like much else at that time, the supply stopped and I couldn’t match the quality anywhere closer to home…
Stirring English Breakfast
Accompanying breakfasts since the early 19th century, this blend is said to have been created by a Scottish tea master named Drysdale. It became known as “English” tea as it was a favourite of Queen Victoria. Blended teas were almost unheard of at the time...
Sophisticated Darjeeling
Nestled in the Himalayan foothills, Darjeeling tea embodies purity and elegance with its distinct flavour. This tea thrives at high elevations, benefiting from crisp, cool air, fertile soil and a constant breeze that impart their distinctive “magic” to the leaves. These are then hand plucked...
Calming Chamomile
Bright and daisy-like, this fragrant Mediterranean native is like summer itself. It blossoms in light, drained soil in great sweeps by the sea, often on rocky hillsides during southern and eastern Europe’s long summer days and cool nights...
A Mint amongst Mints
Mint is a herb with its roots in history – loved by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, the last of whom brought it to England in the 5th century. But our love of mint tea has its roots in the Maghreb. We take inspiration from the much-loved Moroccan mint tea and also use spearmint...
Heavenly Green tea
Often known as Temple of Heaven, this special gunpowder tea (locally referred to as Zhu Cha or Pearl tea) is grown in the beautiful mountainous regions of southern China. Here, dramatic seasons, with humid summers and bitter frosts melting into a vibrant spring flush...
Soothing Fennel
Fennel seeds have been added to food and infused into teas for millennia and have been much revered since ancient times for their distinctive flavour. Fennel tea has a natural sweetness and earthiness, with the slightest hint of aniseed...
Assured Assam
The history of tea in Assam mirrors the diversity of its land. Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas and with the mighty Brahmaputra River running through it, Assam’s unique geographic location with its capricious temperatures, high humidity and rich soil gives its tea a very rich...
Soulful Chai
Chai is India in a cup. Every sip takes you eastward — to the country’s bustling streets, dramatic landscapes, and vivid cultures. Our chai is a harmonious fusion of robust black tea sourced from the finest estates and infused with the traditional spices...
Refined Sencha
Sencha is Japan’s most popular green tea. Historically, it was loved by Japanese monks who revered it for its unique qualities of giving them energy and focus, whilst remaining calm and relaxed. Today, it is intrinsically woven into the fabric of daily Japanese life...
Degrees of love
"Superior tasting tea. I decided on the English Breakfast variety and was not disappointed. Lovely delicate flavour but strong and robust at the same time. The pyramid-shaped bags – thank you for the opportunity."
“Aroma is amazing as soon as the envelope is opened. Strong aroma of mint indicating its fresh & inviting. Love the packaging is recyclable & good description on packaging. Was impressed by the quality overall”
"This is an outstanding English Breakfast tea - and I drink a lot of EB tea. I suspect the flavour comes from not only the quality of the tea leaves but also the 'premium bag' which seems to allow more flavour than the mass-produced bags. "
"The quality of the tea bags is excellent. The tea leaves are very high quality I was able to get three uses out of one tea bag. The taste is also very good. I will try the other types next."
"I’d say this is a luxury brand of tea. The tea bags are pyramid and not your basic bags! Feels fancy when putting into your mug! The flavour is tasty, strong, and not at all weak."
"I found this product to be superior to its competitors in all aspects - from the teabag itself (fine, mesh-like, reminiscent of a jewellery bag), to the appearance of the tea and of course, also the taste. I cannot wait to try another variety."
"It is the most flavourful and refreshing green tea I have had for a very long time. It has the extra flavour that quality loose tea leaves often have. I am really enjoying it, and to have it in a pyramid bag is so convenient. Thank you for introducing me to this product."
"I thought the packaging and the quality of the product was excellent. I would include this product when I make a gift hamper for a friend with a lovely mug and quality biscuits."
"I am a coffee drinker and wanting to decrease how much I drink, but don’t like tea (mostly the smell). However, the 96° mint tea was amazing. I have cut my coffee down by half in a week. It is a delicious tea, without the tea taste/smell. It’s a permanent fixture on my shopping list."
"Bought the Chinese Green tea, it has amazing, deep earthy flavours and very nice green tea aromas. Love it!"
