We have available five basic categories of tea, which all come from the Camelia sinensis plant: black, semi-oxidised, green, white, and yellow.
We also carry flavoured black, green and semi-oxidised teas. In addition to teas, we carry a variety of tisanes: fruit, herbal and rooibos.
Black teas, when brewed properly produce a higher caffeine content than other teas (50% - 60% of coffee) depending on the type and brewing technique.
Oolong teas give a fruity or perfumed aroma and a smooth but complex often peach or apricot flavour.
In Japan the leaves of Green teas are first steamed and then cooled, rolled, pressed, sorted, polished and dried. Green teas tend to have less caffeine (10 - 30% of coffee) depending on the type of tea and brewing technique.
White teas are the most delicate of all teas. White tea is named after the tiny white or silver hairs that cover the bud as it develops at the tip of each shoot. They are usually made from just the unopened bud, gathered before it can start to unfurl. They are then steamed and dried.
Yellow teas are made from the new buds, the caffeine content is higher than green teas and the taste is a delicate sweetness.
Our tisanes are made from flowers, herbs and fruits and are all naturally caffeine free.
