I received the following lovely wrapped tea selection from Anna who lives in Staffordshire (UK)

tung_ting_oolong 

Oolong tea, sometimes known as blue tea, is part fermented and this one - tung ting - takes its name from the mountainous region in Taiwan where it is grown.  This area is regarded by those who know about this kind of thing - us included - as one of the finest around. We’re very proud to be able to offer a genuine oolong tea, as these teas are mostly sold to the local Taiwanese at hundreds of dollars – a bit more pricey than your average cuppa, but worth every penny.

how does it taste?

Oolong tea sits between green and black. This tea will deliver the strength of a black tea, with the aromatic, flowery flavours of a green tea. Green tea is for now, but tung ting will be the next big thing.

good if you're feeling

a little blue. No, really. This is yoga for the mind, without the embarrassing leotard or spine-cracking back bends. Oolong, like green tea, is reputed to keep you skinny and young. Let’s hope it’s true.

chilli_chai

This blend is a twist on our traditional chai – the same authentic Indian recipe but with a little extra kick from little flakes of real chilli. A gutsy assam blended with whole cardamom pods, real chunks of ginger, cinnamon, vanilla and not forgetting those spicy chilli bits. This chai is for those of you who don't order korma and plain naan from your local curry house.

how does it taste?

A gutsy assam tea with exotic spices and an extra fiery kick at the end.

good if you're feeling

in need of a little fire and spice in your life.

spiced_winter

 

We think we’ve captured the best bits of winter with this one - mulled wine, mistletoe, winter coats and rosy cheeks. Log fires, happy cats and old movies on the telly.  Tea and warming spices. This tea also makes a yummy wintery caffeine free latte - orange, cloves and cinnamon on a red tea base, perfect on a crisp, frosty morning.

how does it taste?

Warming winter spices combined with a delicious rooibos (redbush) tea base.

good if you're feeling

chilled, but not in a good way - this tea will warm you through.
