Green Tea

The leaves of this beautiful green tea, from Southern China are carefully hand rolled into a precious pearl then engulfed in fresh jasmine flowers. Leaving the tea to nestle amongst the flowers allows the natural floral scent to absorb into the tea, giving it a delicate pure taste!

how does it taste?

Very delicate green tea with a light, floral, refreshing, natural jasmine taste.

good if you're feeling

In need of relaxation and detox. Like all teas, this is bursting with antioxidants - the good guys that help keep us young and healthy.

how we like it

Try it naked... this tea alone, with hot water.

brew time

• one tea temple per person, infused 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 job!) .
• loose tea - 4 to 6 pearls per person. Infuse for 3+ minutes.

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

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.

Traditional Moroccan green tea with mint is typically drunk sweet - very, very sweet. This is because they use Gunpowder Green, a tea so strong that sugar is needed to remove the astringency. We opted for a more delicate chunmee green tea known as Precious Eyebrows. Better to change the base tea than your teeth, we reckoned.

how does it taste?

A delicate green tea known as "precious eyebrows" blended with peppermint leaves for that traditional Moroccan experience.

good if you're feeling

Rough on the inside and even worse on the outside; green tea and mint are a great cure-all.

how we like it

We like to drink it pure but for that real North African experience add sugar, heaps and heaps of sugar.

Iced

Just cover one tea temple with water at 80 degrees C and infuse for 3 minutes. Remove temple and top-up glass with iced water. Spoon in some sugar.
