A perfect start to the day.

The Indian cloud black tea is the only one for me first thing in the morning. It has a wonderfully rich, full and clean taste. Long may it continue to be available.

Indian clouds abundant

This tea is easily one of my top rated black teas. Light and coppery in the cup, smooth and rich to drink, deeply aromatic. If you remember to steep this tea for two minutes at 80 degrees celcius, the full bodied flavours of mountainous flowers and spices tickles the soul.

Exceptional, transports you to the the tea slopes of India

I received this tea as the first installment of the subscription and I'm so pleased as I've wanted to try it for a while. As soon as I opened the packet I was met with the scent of the tea factories in Asia (its a mission in my life to find a candle/perfume that recreates that scent!) and once brewed it got even better. Beautiful, delicate and floral tea with out a hint of being weak or insipid, it follows through beautifully and keeps me coming back for more. Re infused many times, what a delight!

Wonderfully Complex

Aromas of floral honey, and a rich warm taste. I’ve an avid drinker of Darjeeling black tea, and this Darjeeling-esque Cloud Tea has shouldered its way to the top of my preferred teas. Simply exquisite!

Meghalaya, India

Lakyrsiew Tea Garden

Deep in the forgotten forest region of Meghalaya, India, lies the tiny Lakyrsiew tea garden.

From high in the cloudy hills they produce some of the most rare and unique tea in the world.

ABODE OF CLOUDS

The best of both worlds

In the local dialect Meghalaya is called "the Abode of Clouds" so we call this Cloud Tea. It lies between Assam and Darjeeling and this tea really has the best of both. Light and floral as a Darjeeling with the rich caramel and malty notes you get from the best Assam.

This tiny garden produces tea in very small amounts because their concern is always quality over volume.

Meticulous Crafting

Delicate and graceful

The tea is meticulously crafted to keep the beautiful leaves whole. This tender crafting allows the leaves to retain a delicacy and softness that is very rare in black teas.
