A S S A M ( S I N G L E O R I G I N )Assam in North East India is one of only two
places in the world where tea plants are native. The teas are grown in the lush region of the Brahmaputra Valley and are known for their full-bodied flavour. This blend is robust in character, with a smooth and malty taste.
C A M O M I L EOur camomile infusion contains only the delicate
flower heads of the camomile plant. Naturally caffeine-free and known for its calming and
soothing properties, camomile gives a smooth, sweet flavour to help you unwind.
D A R J E E L I N G ( S I N G L E O R I G I N )Teas from Darjeeling in the Indian state of West
Bengal are often known as the ‘Champagne of teas’. These prized tea leaves are grown in the foothills of the Himalayas, some 6,000ft above
sea level. This environment affords the tea a delicate flavour with aromatic notes of grape and
floral undertones.
E A R L G R E YNamed after the British Prime Minister for whom
it was specially created in 1831, Earl Grey is a quintessential British tea. Black Chinese tea is blended with citrusy bergamot oil to create our
Earl Grey. The result is a delicately flavoured tea that is light and refreshing.
E N G L I S H B R E A K F A S TA hearty blend made from Assam teas grown in the Brahmaputra Valley, North East India.
With its robust character and lively flavour, this strong and bright tea is designed to refresh and
invigorate, ideal at any time of day.
G R E E N J A S M I N EJasmine buds are picked by hand and scattered
amongst green tea at dusk, when the temperature drops the flowers open and naturally infuse the
tea leaves with their aroma. This ancient process produces an orangey-gold tea with an elegant
aroma and distinct floral flavour.
L A P S A N G S O U C H O N GOriginally only made in the Fujian province
of China, Lapsang Souchong is still produced following the ancient method. Leaves are plucked
and then withered in bamboo baskets above pinewood embers. This process creates Lapsang’s
unmistakable smoky flavour and bold aroma.
P E P P E R M I N TBright and zingy, our peppermint infusion
contains only the vibrant green leaves from the peppermint herb. Naturally caffeine-free and deeply refreshing, peppermint has been used
in ancient medicine for centuries and is said to help aid digestion.
R O O I B O SRooibos, sometimes known by the English
translation ‘Red Bush’, only grows in the sun-drenched, mountainous Western Cape province
of South Africa. This naturally caffeine-free infusion is deep red in colour and has a sweet
and nutty flavour with a hint of caramel.
S T R A W B E R R I E S & C R E A MStrawberries & Cream is a rich and fruity infusion inspired by the classic flavours of
British summer. Real strawberry pieces are blended with the flavour of creamy vanilla for a delicious taste that is full of character and
naturally caffeine-free.
