Whole-leaf tea + infusions
All of our whole-leaf tea is ethically sourced from tea plantations and individual tea gardens in the world’s major tea-growing nations.
Each of our teas and infusions is served in either a ‘stump’ teapot, or a glass tea-eire, and for each preparation we weigh the leaves and water before presenting it with a carafe and timer so that you can decant the tea once it has reached the perfect infusion.
Our ‘Bean & Bud’ blend is a delightful breakfast tea that is blended exclusively for us. It isn’t available anywhere else, but you can pick up a bag from our retail shelves in the shop.
Our teas and infusions change throughout the seasons to ensure you always get the finest, freshest teas available. Here is a list of our current range.
