Style

A loose leaf tea designed to help restore the body’s natural balance after strenuous athletic activity or illness (whether the result of a hangover or blameless sickness we wont judge, only seek to alleviate).

A blend of green and white loose leaf teas with a sprinkling of restorative herbs.  Together they create a graciously gentle, effective and lovely panacea.

We suggest adding a drop of honey or maple syrup and a grain of sea salt if you are very dehydrated to help restore the electrolytes needed to re-hydrate. 

Tasting Notes

On a short infusion the elegant caramel and soft woody notes are lifted by gentle ginger warmth. A longer, hotter extraction, will intensify the spice of the ginger and the rich earthiness of the Rooibos.

£0.33 per cup based on 2g of tea per 150ml of water and 2 infusions.

Origin

Fujian province, China
Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

More infusion tips

How to infuse your tea is very personal, and these are just our recommendations based on experience. Please experiment with these variables to your heart's delight. These are our recommendations, not hard and fast rules. The most delicious tea is the one you love.

Our guide uses a standard tea cup size (150ml/5.5 oz) as a measure, please adjust the quantity of leaf accordingly for less or more water. Our whole loose leaves are of such a high quality that you can infuse our teas at least twice, and the second infusion is often better than the first, with different flavours revealed as the leaf softens. If you prefer your tea stronger, add more leaf, don’t leave it for longer (this will just make it bitter).

A beautiful blend of our Japanese Hojicha Roasted Green Tea from Uji and our Chinese Peony White Tea from the mountains of Fujian.

Tea has, of course, been used as a medicine for many thousands of years - rich in polyphenol antioxidants. These lovely leaves also offer gentle stimulation to aid concentration.

To boost the restorative effects we have added pure herbs; Rare Ginger from the foothills of the Himalayas and our Wild Rooibos from the UNESCO World heritage site in the Cedarberg Mountains of South Africa.

Rooibos has long been used as a natural hydrator as well as being rich in minerals including calcium, magnesium and potassium. Himalayan Ginger, from the entirely organic state of Sikkim, relieves nausea and has anti-inflammatory properties.
