What is tea?
Traditionally, the word “tea” refers to any drink made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant.
White, green, oolong and black tea all come from the same plant, each processed in a different way. Today, the term is used more loosely to describe any infused beverage.
Why loose leaf tea?
Loose leaf tea gives you the freedom to blend different teas and create your own distinct experience. Each cup can be brewed to your preferred strength, no matter the size. Tea bags, on the other hand, cannot be blended and tend to deliver a fixed strength.
Made from the Camellia sinensis plant. Picked as a green leaf, fermented (turns black in colour), then dried.
Compared to other teas, black tea is high in caffeine. It releases bitter tannins when over-brewed, which is frowned upon by people who frown.
Made from the leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant (legume family), which is indigenous to the Western Cape (South Africa).
Picked as a green leaf, fermented (turns red in colour), then dried.
Contains no caffeine and is high in antioxidants. The longer it brews, the more antioxidants are released.
Made from the leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant (legume family), which is indigenous to the Western Cape (South Africa).
Picked as a green leaf and dried (no oxidation or fermentation). Contains significantly high levels of antioxidants.
An ideal supplement for healthy ageing, with cancer-fighting qualities. No caffeine, no tannins, and never gets bitter (unlike green tea).
Draws to a green/orange colour and tastes like green tea, but sweeter and creamier. Very much the hidden gem. We plan to change that.
Made from the Camellia sinensis plant. Picked as a green leaf and dried (no oxidation or fermentation).
A delicate and often misunderstood tea. Brew for 1–2 minutes at 70°C (add 20% cold water to boiled water).
High in antioxidants, although it contains caffeine. Like wine, the real connoisseur can tell where in the world a green tea was grown.
Made from the Camellia sinensis plant. So subtle it makes green tea appear bold.
The process is similar to green tea, except white tea is made from very young, delicate new shoots, which are traditionally hand-plucked.
Made from the Camellia sinensis plant.
Is partially/lightly fermented and shares the characteristics of green and black tea.
