    Use 2.5g of tea per 150ml of water.

  • Temperature

    For the optimum infusion use 85°C water.

    Infuse for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.

  • Infusions

    You can infuse this tea at least twice. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.

NaN -Infinity

How to infuse your tea is very personal, and these are just our recommendations based on experience. Please experiment with these variables to your heart's delight. These are our recommendations, not hard and fast rules. The most delicious tea is the one you love.

Our guide uses a standard tea cup size (150ml/5.5 oz) as a measure, please adjust the quantity of leaf accordingly for less or more water. Our whole loose leaves are of such a high quality that you can infuse our teas at least twice, and the second infusion is often better than the first, with different flavours revealed as the leaf softens. If you prefer your tea stronger, add more leaf, don’t leave it for longer (this will just make it bitter).

Craftmanship

Hand Rolled devotion

They can only produce a few kilos a year due to the quality of the leaf required and the amount of craftsmanship entailed in a hand rolling the leaf. It is made with no machinery of any kind but a great deal of devotion.

This is truly a unique and beautiful tea. The terroir and the craftsmanship are unparalleled.
