More About This Tea
Bold (not Meh). Full bodied (not wishy washy). Thick (not thin) Golden (not grey). Totally hits the spot.
IT’S DOWN TO THE LEAF
Rwanda has big hills, volcanic soil, tropical sun, big showers. These are the things that make great tasting tea.
Plus, tea farmers in Rwanda have a formal plucking standard; it’s a serious business. The freshest 2 leaves and a bud. From the top of the bush. Not too big, or too small. Farmers receive premium for plucking tea to this very high standard. And they pluck by hand; hands see better than machines.

Origin
Rwandan tea is a tea taster's secret. Rwanda grows just 1% of the worlds tea, we think it's the best 1%
Elevation
Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills. The higher the elevation, the slower the tea grows and the deeper the flavour of the tea.
Process
This is a black tea so once the leaves are plucked and dried, they are left to ferment or oxidise - this means the air gets to the leaves and turns them black. The oxidation is what gives black tea it's deep flavour and colour perfect with milk.

This tea really hits the spot and tastes exactly how you want an everyday tea to taste.
