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.

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.

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.
