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).

GINGER & LEMONGRASS

Sikkim & Sri Lanka

We have carefully crafted a blend of uniquely complex and full-bodied lemongrasses harvested from the highlands of Sri Lanka with pure rich ginger gathered from the foothills of the Himalayas around the Temi Tea Garden in Sikkim.

SIKKIM

Extraordinary ginger

High in the Indian Himalayas, between Nepal and Bhutan, lies the secret region of Sikkim. The Lepcha people cultivate and craft a tea that is truly outstanding.

Between seasons, they prepare this extraordinary ginger, harvesting and drying it in the withering beds, where the tea is laid out to lose moisture and become supple before crafting. The high altitude combined with organic and traditional practices in cultivation and handling result in a ginger with a deeply intense and rounded character that is the very best we have found after an extensive search across the globe.
