More infusion tips
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).

China Green Tea
A hand crafted Spring green tea from Zhejiang province (home to the famed Dragon Well) but pan fired with a lightness of touch to just twist the leaves rather than press them. This delicate method produces a delicate green tea with a smooth mouth-feel and a refreshingly clean flavour.

Malawi
Spearmint
We have added an uplifting blend of Spearmint from a collective of small holders in Malawi. This is a year-round, sustainable crop, mostly grown by women on less than a hectare of land. It allows invaluable extra income and we are very proud to support them.
