Perhaps our most loved blend ever: Autumn Spiced Pumpkin Chai!

Blueberry & Peach
Blueberry bliss twisted with notes of peach!
Great Judges: 'An amazing vivid purple liquor, clear and bright...Very well balanced flavours on the palete. The peach comes through first and the blueberry is subtle but complements the peach. Very enjoable.'
Moondrop Dreams
Calling all space cadets... dreamy lemon & lavender!
Great Judges: 'A lovely shiny orange liquor, clear and bright.'
Morning Kick
Get a healthy kick start every morning with our zesty yerba mate tea. An energy boosting tea with lemon and ginger.
Great Judges: 'Lively citric nose that’s encouraging and properly promises what you will get, which is something delicious and stimulating. Mate makes it an original choice in the overcrowded field of lemon-ginger infusions. Excellent to see the quality of the natural ingredients.'
Rooibos Breakfast Cuppa*
Our caffeine-free breakfast blend with a hint of honey - fab with milk!
Great Judges 'A very attractive blend, the sunflower petals make a wonderful contrast to the other ingredients. There's a subtle sweetness from the honeybush that helps lift this tea.'
*Please note this tea used to be called 'Breakfast's Ready Honey'
Apple Strudel
Apple & cinnamon rooibos perfection in a cup.
Great Judges 'Delicious, warming and welcoming nose. Tastes just like an apple strudel and gives a delightful clean and gratifying experience, enhanced by the gentle sweetness of the stevia. A great surprise and an excellent balanced blend.'
Earl Grey Creme
A fresh & fragrant vanilla Earl Grey tea
Aniseed Balls*
Nostalgic aniseed, star anise & liquorice herbal tea blend.
Great Judges: 'Truly original and delicious infusion that packs a true punch of the stated ingredients. Some might like lesser chilli but it’s not over the top by any means. Another brilliant combination and at last a mixture that’s blokey.'

Strawberry Lemonade
Fantastically fruity tea infusion that tastes as good as it smells!
Cherry Bakewell
Cherry and almond white tea, a classic tea time treat!
Great Judges: 'Big on the almond flavour, but some tartness comes through along with good sweetness. We also noted hibiscus flavours and also something of the white tea character.'
Enchanted Narnia
Turkish delight tea with magical rose & creamy cocoa
Great Judges: 'Delightfully aromatic rosebuds, with a beautiful aspect. There's certainly a Turkish Delight element to the aroma of the infusion. On the palate, there is an interesting cacao note, which takes the edge off the powerful rose scent. The use of lemongrass is subtle, just brightening the sweet rose aromatics. We feel this is a successful and clever blend.'
Rhubarb & Custard
Tangy rhubarb tea, creamy custard guilt free sweet treat
Great Judges: 'Good dark amber colour as should be expected from a Rooibos. Innovative. Rhubarb flavour is good and a little 'custard ' flavour. Fairly balanced ,rounded and comforting.'
Peppermint Cream
Velvety milk Oolong tea, smooth cocoa & sweet peppermint
Nearly Nirvana
White silver needle tea with spiritual spearmint & heavenly jasmine.
Rooibos Tea Powder
All the super powers of matcha BUT with caffeine free rooibos tea!
Great Judges: 'Cloudy amber infusion, good rooibos aromas on the nose. On the palate it is very good, gently tangy, straw and citrus notes. An honest, quality infusion, a very pleasant, comforting drink.'

Rooibos Matcha Honey*
Caffeine free, Rooibos flavoured matcha honey
Great Judges: 'There's excellent Rooibos here and a good honey base. An unusual product certainly but we feel it's a successful, harmonious blend that affords positive excitement of flavour.'
*Please note this tea has been discontinued
Lemon Matcha Honey*
Great Judges: 'There are clear flavours of vegetal matcha (with allied bitter notes on the finish) and good British 'eucalyptus' honey notes. We rather like the preserved lemon notes, but do feel we have a somewhat 'confused' product here. We feel it might work well as a Chai base, blended with milk. On the basis of rather bright, distinctive flavours, even if rather startling as a concept, we are happy to raise this to star level.'
