Black Tea
Black tea distinguishes itself from other varieties through its complete oxidation, a transformative process which imparts remarkable alterations in the tea's colour, aroma and polyphenol content. With dark tea leaves and an infusion which varies from delicate and floral to rich, malty and chocolatey, black tea offers a diverse range of flavours for tea enthusiasts to explore.
Darjeeling
Top cultivars and harvests flown in fresh from the most exclusive estates in Darjeeling, all either grown without plant protection products or certified organic: the floral and sweet first flush, the malty and fruity second flush and the finest white darjeeling.
Nepalese Highland Tea
Compared to more subtle varieties endemic to the region, Nepalese highland teas boast a distinctively, fruity flavour profile, making teas from Nepal highly sought-after by tea connoisseurs. Our teas are harvested in the two peak seasons – spring and autumn – and are sourced directly from the renowned Guranse Organic Estate in Hile, one of the most elevated tea gardens in the world, also known for its high level of social consciousness throughout the region.
