Just great Tea

If your grew up on teabags, sometimes you get a cuppa that's just perfect. Taste lovely, not too bitter, not too strong, just smooth and delicious. This tea taste like one of those cups every time. Even my 9 year old nephew said it was the best tea he ever had!

A beautifully moreish blend

A beautifully moreish blend for focus in the morning or a moment of serenity in the afternoon.

RAFA Tea for Heroes

I received my first tin in 2012 as a gift from my sister as Dad was our RAF Hero. It's been my comfort tea ever since. A lovely tea for everyday and anytime.

Delicious

I have enjoyed this tea for the last 8 years or so. A life saver when we moved to the US and a mainstay in our cupboard.

Our wake up drink

Excellent. Since we discovered it some years ago it has been preferred as our first drinks of the day

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

15p 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."
