Fresh and Vibrant Teas for Spring

Sencha Fukujyu Tea – From £20.99
Made from leaves that are plucked in spring and steamed lightly before rolling, this fine green tea produces a lovely deep olive green colour and reveals smooth, slightly sweet flavours. Subtle, mild and refreshing, Japanese Fukuiya Green Tea can be enjoyed all through the day.

Sencha Fukuju tea is produced in Japan, in areas where tea leaves are grown in the shade for several weeks before being harvested in early spring. The leaves are then steamed, rolled, and dried through a process known as "Asamushi", resulting in a tea that is delicate and refreshing.

Japan Sencha Green Tea – From 16.99
This classic green tea is delicate and well-rounded, offering lovely grassy notes, a hint of bitterness and a smooth finish, and is ideal to be enjoyed all through the day.

Sencha tea is rich in antioxidants, which may help to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals, and contains compounds that have been shown to promote heart health and boost the immune system.

Rose Green Tea – From £12.99
Delicately scented with rose, this China Gunpowder tea is layered with rose petals and reveals a wonderful rose aroma, making a great base for iced tea.

Produced in the Zhejiang Province of China, gunpowder tea is prepared by rolling the leaves into small pellets, at which point they are withered, steamed, rolled and dried. The resulting tea is beautifully golden in colour, and packed full of flavours and wonderful aromas that can be enjoyed all through the day.

Darjeeling Leaf First Flush Tea – From £21.99
A first flush blend of top grade teas, sourced from the Darjeeling Tea Estates of Phoobsering, Gopaldhara, Giddapahar, Singbulli, and Puttabong, Darjeeling First Flush Tea produces a fantastic all-round tea that reveals the traditional, complex flavours of Darjeeling teas.

First flush teas are harvested in early spring, typically during March and April, when the leaves are considered to be the freshest. The tea leaves are picked by hand, with only the youngest and most tender leaves selected for processing.

Jasmine Blossom Green Tea – From 11.99
This delicately flavoured, semi-fermented green tea from China contains the petals of the Jasmine Flower and reveals wonderful, intense scents of flowery jasmine blossoms. Jasmine tea is arguably the most famous scented tea in China and is known for its perfumed and floral aromas.

Jasmine tea is made in two steps: a ‘base tea’ is first created, before the fragrant jasmine blossoms are added to make the finished tea, through a process known as hongqing.

Gunpowder Tea – From £11.99
Produced in the Zhejiang Province of China, this green tea is prepared by rolling the leaves into small pellets, at which point they are withered, steamed, rolled and dried. The resulting tea is beautifully golden in colour, and packed full of flavours and wonderful aromas that can be enjoyed all through the day.

Also known as Chinese Temple Tea, Gunpowder tea reveals a slightly smoky flavour and a lovely, yellow-green colour. Picked during spring and early summer, the dried, withered leaves, which resemble gunpowder in appearance, slowly unfurl when they are brewed, releasing their flavour and wonderful aroma.
