There's
good plucking
& bad plucking

SPILL tea is from Rwanda where tea farmers have a formal plucking standard for selecting the best quality tea leaves. It's a serious business; the freshest two leaves and a bud. From the top of the bush. Not too big, not too small.

Farmers receive a premium for plucking tea to this very high standard. And they pluck by hand; hands see better than machines.

I'M A BIT UPSET

I only drink Yorkshire tea. I love it. I have it in my bag if I go to someone's house. But this is even better. I'm a bit upset.

– Jess, Yorkshire Tea lover, Wandsworth


strong and not bitter

I'm on my second cup and wow oh wow. It's strong but not bitter. Lovely bright colour. Familiar but somehow different. I had it with oat and then regular milk and both gorgeous.

– Sofia's friend, Izzi, London


banging!

Shock horror - the tea is banging.

–  our friend Sarah, ex-teapig, Teddington

HITS THE SPOT

You've hit the nail with this one. Other teas you can keep drinking and drinking and you're not satisfied but this really hits the spot.
