Infuse not brew

The nicest, fruitiest, most aromatic Darjeeling analogue I have ever tested. This, together with Indian Cloud Tea and Sikkim Second Flush Muscatel, are the holy trinity of teas for me and I always make sure I have a couple of these knocking around in my cupboard. They blow all the competition out of the water, even local loose leaf independent shops, Taylors of Harrogate and Newby. Cannot get through the day without them.

Love drinking it either black or with milk, is light, with an earthy flavour. Great for any function.

A particularly deep black tea with notes of dark chocolate and bright citrus. Best enjoyed without milk.

NEPAL

The Jun Chiyabari Tea Garden

High in the Nepali Himalayas lies the tiny but extraordinarily beautiful Jun Chiyabari Tea Garden. At 1835 meters above sea level, the tea grows slowly but with intense flavours. This very special terroir produces uniquely rich, chocolate flavours.

Orthodox

Gently rolled

Using 150 year old brass plates, the leaf is gently rolled in small batches in the traditional orthodox method.

These singular leaves have been carefully crafted to reveal the prized floral nose of a high grown Himalayan tea.

3rd Generation

Morris Orchard

The garden is run by Morris Orchard, a third generation Nepali tea planter whose grandfather came from Britain to plant tea. This lovely man has a great respect for the land, the tea, and the small team he works with - it is an honour to be part of that.
