Loose leaf black tea starts somewhere long before it reaches your cup. Ours comes from award-winning gardens and a few places most people have never heard of, micro tea gardens tucked into the hillsides of China, mountain slopes and tropical jungles in India, and even rare British-grown varieties that genuinely turn heads when we mention them.
There’s a difference between loose black tea and everything else, and once you’ve tasted it, there’s no going back. The leaves are whole, the flavour has room to develop, and what ends up in the cup actually reflects where the tea was grown. Classic blends that anchor the morning. Single-origin varieties worth setting aside twenty minutes for. Everything in between.
Rich, warm, and more than a little invigorating, every sip tells the story of where it came from. Browse the full collection and find the one that becomes your daily habit.
