Brisk, strong and malty, the richness and flavour of this tea is reflected in its reddish liquour. Best served with milk.

We noticed that this makes exceptional iced tea, but is better known for its full body and pungent flavour. It has a dry, smooth character and as a whole leaf tea needs a longer brewing time.

Darjeeling is added to black china leaf teas and the blend is flavoured with oil of bergamot. Said to be named after the earl who invented the mix, this delicate, light and refreshing brew is definitely best enjoyed without milk.

From Formosa, this tea is semi-fermented which produces a sparkly amber liquor. The result is an absense of tannin, a slightly peachy flavour and an overall rich, smooth taste.

Indian, Ceylon and African teas blended to produce a subtle tea with depth and a pungent character without being too strong. Developed to suit the palates of all regular tea drinkers.
