The Tea Experience

Do you like a really good cup of tea or know someone who does?

We have a selection of good quality teas from China which are a state sensation. You can choose from a delicate and really refreshing white tea, a variety of lovely green teas each with it's own subtle flavours, oolong tea, black teas including a lovely one fragranced with roses or why not try and deep earthy pu-erh.

All our teas come in bright resealable bags and because we prefer to sell quality losses teas which means we can offer better quality than you'll find in tea bags we also offer strainers and lidded tea mugs with filters so it's just as easy to make as with a bag. In fact if you must have a bag we can sell you a DIY teabag too !

Flowering tea blooms are another lovely way to drink tea. Made with whole silver needle teas which are fashioned into a bouquet with flowers and then sewn into a ball;these are delighted to watch as you serve the tea and watch the bloom open as the tea infuses. The tea is light and delicate with a very gentle floral taste.

Also available is a speciality collection of Yixing Teapots & teaware from China. These special teapots have been made since around the 1500s and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The key feature of the teapots being they are unglazed inside as the clay is lead free. This allows the teapots to absorb the flavours of the tea and the Chinese say eventually you won't need to add leaves ti the teapot as there is enough flavour in i
