Loose Leaf Tea Blends

It's Henrietta's belief that the world’s best loose leaf tea blends are created to be better than the sum of their parts - to make something unique and extraordinary and, above all else, delicious.

What we don't believe in here at Rare Tea Company are blends with flavourless flowers added to merely make them pretty or to disguise added flavourings. Or using pieces of dried fruit sprayed with flavourings, and often fructose too, to make teas that taste like sweets.

Rare Tea blends only combine the highest quality loose leaf teas, herbs, spices, flowers (with their own unique flavours) and essential oils (bergamot in Earl Grey tea) to create something amazing.

Henrietta's unique blends are sought out by the globe's tastemakers from chefs, bartenders, perfumiers, fashion designers and athletes. Instead of pursuing bland uniformity, her ambition is to create exquisite tea blends that make your heart truly sing.

The best tea blends are always loose leaf and free from tea bags which add extra unwanted 'baggy' flavour to your tea blend - along with bleaches, glues and nanoplastics.

Teas, herbs, spices and flowers can be blended in infinite combinations to create different types of tea blends.

Not just in the UK, but the world's most widely enjoyed blended tea, English Breakfast, is usually a blend of black teas. But we don't stop there. Henrietta created our revolutionary 21st Century Breakfast by blending loose leaf green tea to pair with a modern-day breakfast.

As well as pure tea blends, you can blend teas and other ingredients together to create something with another flavour dimension, such as Chocolate Tea which is enhanced with cacao nibs or Masala Chai with rich spices like cinnamon and cardamon.

Pure herbal blends like Himalayan Ginger & Lemongrass are a good choice of tea blend if you are looking to avoid caffeine. Our Pick-Me-Up tea is a blend of organically grown herbs designed to give you a little lift without the caffeine.

If you enjoy experimenting, all our loose leaf teas are at your disposal to blend with at home, from Pu'er to Jasmine Silver Tips or Wild Rooibos. You might try a pinch of lapsang souchong leaf in your English Breakfast tea or a hint of mint in your mug of chamomile tea.

One of the best-known tea blends is Earl G
