Beautifully balanced

This tea has a lovely richness to it but has a gorgeous sweetness which balances it beautifully. It is a tea to be savoured & as all of these amazing rare teas it a luxury I forever delight in.

Rare Chinese Keemun Tea

This tea continues to be beautiful. The last order that I received from the Company had been mysteriously "opened" and some of the merchandise cunningly removed! Maxwell at RTC immediately sent replacement teas to me which arrived - safely - and in double quick time. I cannot praise the company enough for their continually efficient and sympathetic handling of any problems or questions that have arisen in the years that I have been shopping with them (fortunately, the queries etc have been few and far between and usually due to other agencies such as Royal Mail!).

Wonderful flavour

I ordered a few different loose leaves from this website and this one is hands down my favourite. A super smooth, slightly sweet taste with an incredible smell. I'll definitely be ordering more.
