About our tea....

We have selected the finest ingredients for our teas to be used in our tea bags. The ingredients will retain their best flavour if they are stored in a cool, dark, dry place. When you take a tea bag out fold back the packaging and place in the box and seal. Airtight storage will maintain the quality of the taste. 

For maximum taste brew your tea with freshly boiled, filtered water. Steep for 3-5 minutes depending on how strong you like it. Its also possible to get two cups of tea out of each tea bag, just brew for a bit longer the second time around. 

Some of the ingredients we use are organic, we source our ingredients from a wide range of farms around the world. Each farm is carefully vetted by our world class blending team.  

All of our ingredients are carefully sourced ingredients from trusted suppliers, and are hand-blended and packed in the UK. This means: 

Everything can be traced back to source. 

Our Natural flavourings are 100% derived from natural sources.

*Our teas are hand packed in the UK in environments that handle many different blending ingredients and we cannot 100% guarantee no cross-contamination.
