  • Prepared in limited batches to guarantee freshness and rarity.

By choosing a curated subscription box, you not only discover new flavours but support sustainability. You also get access to educational content about each blend, so you can brew like a pro and impress guests. And yes, you’ll become the resident tea expert among your friends.

1. Assam Bold Masala Chai

Origin and History

Assam, in India’s northeast, produces strong, malty black teas. When locals decided to spice it up with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and cloves, Masala Chai was born.

Tasting Notes

This tea blend delivers a warming hug. Expect peppery ginger, sweet cardamom and a robust black tea base that holds its own against milk and sugar.

Sustainability and Ethics

Our Assam Masala Chai is sourced from a women-led cooperative. They practise rainwater harvesting and organic cultivation. Every cup supports fair wages and community education.

2. South African Rooibos Vanilla Dream

Origin and History

Rooibos grows only in the Cederberg Mountains. It’s naturally caffeine-free and rich in antioxidants.

Tasting Notes

Picture smooth rooibos tea with a hint of Madagascan vanilla. No bitterness, just creamy sweetness that works equally well hot or iced.

Sustainability and Ethics

The rooibos is hand-harvested and sun-dried. Our partner farm is solar-powered and transparent about welfare standards.

3. Japanese Sencha Green Symphony

Origin and History

Sencha is Japan’s most popular green tea. Leaves are steamed and rolled right after picking to lock in colour and nutrients.

Tasting Notes

Vibrant emerald liquor, fresh grass notes, a gentle seaweed finish. It’s a shot of zen in every sip.

Sustainability and Ethics

Shade-grown on family farms that protect native flora. Tea bushes are pruned by hand, ensuring long-term soil health.

4. Darjeeling Earl Grey Elegance

Origin and History

Darjeeling is often called the “Champagne of Teas.” Combine it with bergamot oil and you get a floral, bergamot-lifted delight.

Tasting Notes

Delicate muscatel grapes, light citrus, a lingering floral scent. Perfect for afternoon tea.

Sustainability and Ethics

We partner with small estates certified by the Rainforest Alliance. Picking is done by hand, preserving the terroir and local birdlife.

5. Moroccan Mint Green Harmony

Origin and History

In Morocco, mint tea is a gesture of hospitality. Green gunpowder tea leaves paired with fresh spearmint create an invigorating brew.

Tasting Notes

Brisk and minty, with a touch of sweetness. It wakes you up and cools you down in the same gulp.

Sustainability and Ethics

Spearmint is grown on terraces to avoid soil erosion. Farms use drip-irrigation to conserve water, vital in arid climates.

6. Hibiscus Rose Sunset Blend

Origin and History

Hibiscus tea has ancient roots from Egypt to Mexico. Combine it with rose petals to make a tangy, floral infusion.

Tasting Notes

Tart hibiscus, soft rose aroma, a crimson hue that brightens any table. Naturally caffeine-free and packed with vitamin C.

Sustainability and Ethics

Our hibiscus comes from small co-ops supporting women’s education programmes. Drying is done under solar panels to cut carbon emissions.
