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.

Taste, Appearance

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

The difference between black, green and herbals

“A cup of tea” used to mean one thing. Now, say yes to a cuppa — and you’re asked: “what kind?”

Not everything we call tea - is tea

Lovely tea

Had this tea at an event and had to buy some for home as it’s lovely! I brew it for slightly longer so it’s stronger but it has a really nice clean taste compared to others. Packing is great too, would recommend!

Spill Tea 1st Purchase

After being given a lovely cup of Tea at my neighbours with some homemade Cantucci Biscuits. I was so impressed by the flavour and Golden colour the Tea had that I made my first purchase of Tea Bags and felt better in the sense that it helps Farmers get a fair price for all their hard work. The packaging is very retro and has a fun feel to it and the free tin was great and everything was delivered so well. The only thing I would ask for is that a Decaf option could be provided, as I generally drink Decaf and feel that I could drink more of this Tea but understand it takes time . Definately a cup of Tea to ponder over and take your time 🫖
