Special Tea

This exquisite Chinese green tea is scented with jasmine blossoms then rolled by hand to form small beautiful pearls of tea. These pearls unfurl in hot water and release an intense jasmine flower flavour.

Yellow tea is a lightly fermented tea with enticing characteristics drawn from both the green and oolong varieties. A serene, gently earthy fragrance, leads to a refreshing silky taste with a natural hint of spices. It has a gorgeous yellow colour and has the calmness of green tea, but without the sharp grassy tones.

Used in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, matcha is a fine powered green tea. Our matcha is ground from the famous organic Gyokuro sencha. When made traditionally, it has a surprisingly mild and slightly sweet taste.

A fine traditional oolong tea produced in Taiwan. It has a slightly sweet and nutty fragrance, a well rounded flavour and a dry finish that makes for a very refreshing tea.

White tea is called the "tea of the Emperors". The leaves of this white tea are picked in the early morning in the Zheng Huo region in the Chinese province of Fujian. It has a light and mildly sweet taste, a delicate aroma and a clean after-taste.

A rare, high quality, Pu-Erh, pressed into a tea brick, and aged for three years. It has a beautiful bronze colour and can be brewed numerous times. Initial brews have a very refreshing tang, with hints of orchid flowers. Later brews are softer with more prominent floral tones.

This is a very special Pu-Erh tea that has been aged and slowly fermented in the open air ("ripened" or "Shou" Pu-Erh). It has an incomparable earthy taste and is naturally low in caffeine.

During the production of Japanese sencha and bancha the leaf stalks, or "Kuki", are saved for this astonishing tea. Toasting adds a rich smouldering flavour to this otherwise gentle infusion. Hints of roasted grains and bitter chocolate emerge from this light and enjoyable green tea.
