RAFA Tea

The tea is very smooth and very delicious. It is one of my favorites.

A classic

It was the first tea I purchased and it became an indispensable for my mornings. I really feel at loss when I've finished it !

Clive

A lovely cup of tea with a great flavour which reminds me of how tea used to taste years ago. It is so much better than the big brand tea bags that we have got used to drinking these days. It is quite economical as the leaves can be used for more than brewing. Highly recommended.

Excellent tea

Equally good black or with milk. I can get 2 or 3 cups from each measure of leaves.

5* - glad this wasn't a one off but is a core product / still available

I love the smoky flavour - delicious on its own or in a blend

Tasting Notes

A more delicate flavour than a modern Breakfast tea, it has soft florals balanced by smooth, malty notes.

Quantity

Use 2.5g of tea per 150ml of water.

Temperature

For the optimum infusion use 85°C (185°F) water. If you enjoy your tea with milk, please use water at 100°C (212°F).

Time

Infuse for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.

Infusion

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

Cost Per Cup

12p per cup based on 2.5g of tea per 150ml of water and 2 infusions.

Brewing up a storm with the RAF

ENGLISH

Breakfast Tea

RAFA Tea for Heroes is a very traditional English Breakfast tea of the like we haven't seen for many years. A bespoke blend created for the RAF - when only the best will do.

50p of the price you pay goes to the Royal Air Forces Association Wings Appeal repaying just a little of what so many of us owe to so few.

India & Malawi

The Temi Tea Garden & Satemwa Estate

This tea comes from two beautiful, independent tea gardens; the Temi Tea Garden in Sikkim, India and Satemwa Estate on Thyolo Mountain in Malawi. Both are committed to creating the finest tea using sustainable practices to benefit both the land and the people who live on it.

VETERAN

Terry Clark

Henrietta first created this tea for a wonderful man called Terry Clark, a veteran of the Battle of Britain.

"It was a great honour and pleasure to meet him when I made this short film about tea and the RAF. It was an even greater honour to make tea for him.

Terry thought it was rather good. I've been making it for him ever since. We thought you might like it too."
