CHAI BLACK
Expertly blended premium Assam and Darjeeling teas together with a carefully balanced selection of traditional chai spices. The resulting infusion is a warming, intense yet smooth flavour.

EARL GREY
Named after the second Earl Grey, our blend combines a traditional Chinese black tea with natural bergamot oil. Expect a smooth, slightly smoky and citrus finish.

PLANTERS' GREEN
Grown on the high peaks and hand plucked, this large leaf tea is pan heated to produce a light mellow brew with a delicate flavour and aroma. Fresh, sweet and invigorating.

PEPPERMINT

WHOLE CHAMOMILE FLOWERS

CLOUD CATCHER
Hand-blended using 100% natural ingredients, Cloud Catcher packs a fruity punch. Natural sweetness from the apple is pleasantly complimented by the slight tartness of the cranberry. This blend is easy drinking at any time of the day.
