Loose Tea

Our peppermint tea is fresher and finer than any teabag mint you have tasted before because, as with our regular teas, we insist on whole leaves. Because we use whole peppermint leaves, you’ll find the flavour of this blend much stronger and fresher than regular dusty paper teabags.  Sip this when your stomach is grumbling. It's great after a heavy night out down the Red Lion.

how does it taste?

Pure mint - so, as you’d expect a strong minty taste, then very refreshing, very light. Naturally caffeine free.

good if you're feeling

Rumbly - we all know that this will do the trick. 

how we like it

Strong - the longer you brew, the stronger the mint. Leave it in for 7 minutes …. stonking strength!

Iced

Just cover one tea temple with boiling water and infuse for 3 minutes. Remove temple and top-up glass with iced water. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

brew time

• tea temple - 1 per person. Infuse in boiling water. Brew for 3+ minutes.
• loose tea - 3 rounded teaspoonfuls per person. Brew for 3+ minutes.

Most chamomile teas are made by crushing the flowers - not a nice thing to do. The best chamomile tea comes from brewing the whole flowers - which is exactly what we do. Well known benefits of chamomile include sleep-promoting properties, relaxing muscles and soothing anxiety. - Louise

how does it taste?

A beautiful yellow cup which gives way to a sweet, surprisingly juicy flavour of chamomile. Naturally caffeine free.

Call us soppy romantics, but we like this story. A young man and a beautiful young woman from a tea plantation were in love, but the local tyrant seized her as his concubine. She escaped, only to learn that the tyrant had killed her lover. Finding his body deep in the mountains she wept and wept until she became the rain, while her lover's body turned into a tea bush. Which is why, according to the legend, the area where Mao Feng tea grows is forever cloudy and humid the whole year round. All together now…ahhh! This tea is special, unlike any other green tea on the market. A green tea liked by people who don’t like green tea.

how does it taste?

This tea has a delicate natural taste of fresh summer air, peaches and apricots. A lovely clear pale green infusion, not the murky brown you often see with standard green teas.

good if you're feeling

In need of a makeover. Can’t afford rehab, liposuction or Botox? Why not settle for a nice cuppa? You may have heard about the many reputed benefits of drinking green tea, ranging from weight loss to anti-ageing - more fun than cosmetic surgery!

how we like it

Best drunk as it is. No need to add anything.

Iced

Just cover one tea temple with 80 degree water and infuse for 3 minutes. Remove temple and top-up glass with iced water. Garnish with cucumber slices

brew time

• tea temple - 1 per person. brew for 3 minutes, best with water at 80 degrees C. (If you don't have a fancy kettle or thermometer to hand, grabbing the kettle just before it boils will do the trick!)  
• loose tea - 2 rounded teaspoonfuls per person, infuse for 3+ minutes.

Whole leaves take longer to brew, but the little wait is definitely worth it.

Do you like your earl grey to come with some real oomph and wallop? Well, this is the one for you. We've blended some powerful Assam and Rwandan with the more delicate Ceylon and Darjeeling to give the perfect strong tea base to compliment the zesty bergamot. Maybe more of a Duke than a lowly Earl?

how does it taste?

Strong black tea with delicate darjeeling and fancy bergamot. An earl grey but with wallop!

good if you're feeling

In need of a sophisticated boost!

how we like it

Drink it with a slice of lemon, no milk – that’s the way we like it, but each to their own. Same with the sugar.

brew time

• tea temple - 1 per person. Infuse in boiling water. Brew for 3+ minutes.
• loose tea - 2 rounded teaspoonfuls per person. Brew for 3+ minutes.
