OUR TEAS
From real tea tasters
Whether you prefer your tea loose or in our biodegradable tea 'pillows', we offer both to suit your preference and occasion. We never compromise on quality using the same in both formats (don't always believe it if you have heard that loose leaf tea is better quality!).

ASSAM
A really good Assam tea will be malty, rich and thick. It is often the backbone of a great English Breakfast style blend. We’ve chosen the best quality, second flush (or growth). Try this one if you like a bit of “oomph” in your cuppa.
Try it if you like it strong. Make with milk.
Ingredients: Delicious black tea.
Available in: 100g loose leaf

CEYLON
The tea we selected is officially known as “High Grown“ because it grows above 4,000ft. This altitude means the bush grows more slowly and so develops a wonderful zesty, citrus flavour.
Try it if you like it lighter. Make with or without milk.
Ingredients: Delicious black tea.
Available in: 100g loose leaf

GREEN TEA
Our green tea is from China, the birthplace of tea. It is a style known as ‘Xiang Cha’, which literally translates as 'fragrant tea'. It is made from tender green leaf which is traditionally pan-fired making it delicate in cup. Best to brew with water 'off the boil'. And why not try brewing the leaf for a second time like they do in China.
Try it with a meal. Make without milk.
Ingredients: Delicious green tea from China.
Available in: 15 pillows, 50g loose leaf

PEPPERMINT
Our peppermint (or mentha piperita) hails from The Balkans. We selected it for its fresh tasting, cooling and aromatic characteristics. It is perfect for all occasions, caffeine free and goes particularly well after meals because of its great digestive properties.
Try it if you want caffeine free. Make without milk.
Ingredients: Delicious peppermint tea.
Available in: 15 pillows

DARJEELING FIRST FLUSH
A GOLD WINNER IN THE GREAT BRITISH FOOD AWARDS! The first flush (or growth) in Darjeeling is the most highly prized. This is because the first growth produces a delicate, floral character that has notes of tropical fruit (think mango or lychee). It's from a tea garden called Phoobsering nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas. Drink this without milk. Big Spoon can tell you a story or two about his great, great uncle Freddie who used to work there in the 1940's.
Try it if you want a treat. Make without milk.
Ingredients: Delicious Darjeeling tea.
Available in: loose leaf 50g

KENYAN
The best Kenyan teas grow East of The Great Rift Valley. They are bright and golden in appearance with a refreshing taste. The 6,000 smallholder farmers supplying green leaf for our tea are also shareholders of the factory.
Try it if you like it bright and golden. Make with milk.
Ingredients: Delicious black tea.
Available in: 100g loose leaf

EARL GREY
Our Earl Grey uses the finest high grown, whole leaf, Ceylon tea as the base. It perfectly complements the natural oil of Bergamot from Italy. This citrus fruit is what gives Earl Grey its unique flavour.
Try it if you like it flavoured. Make with or without milk.
Ingredients: Ceylon tea, natural bergamot flavouring.
Available in: 15 pillows, 50g loose leaf

LAPSANG SOUCHONG
The origin of Lapsang Souchong is as hazy as the smoke that provides its distinctive flavour. We like the earliest version of the story that took place in the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian in China. Villagers fearing attack from an invading army quickly dried and buried freshly plucked leaves. The resulting pine-smoked character proved popular among Dutch traders and so this iconic tea was born.
Try it if you like smokey flavours. Make with or without milk.
Ingredients: Delicious black tea.
Available in: 50g loose leaf

It has been harvested from fields that grow a particular type of leaf, specially developed for its golden tips. The result? A beautiful twisty, tippy leaf that has a delicious, sweet floral flavour.
Try it for a refreshing cup of tea. You can drink this tea with or without milk.
