Chai Rooibos
A warming, caffeine-free blend that combines naturally sweet South African rooibos with a carefully selected mix of premium chai spices. Hand blended in Edinburgh, it delivers a rich, comforting infusion with the perfect balance of earthy sweetness and aromatic spice.

Chamomile Flowers
Made from whole Egyptian chamomile flowers, this naturally caffeine-free herbal infusion is renowned for its delicate floral flavour and wonderfully calming character.
When brewed, chamomile produces a smooth, golden infusion with gentle honey-like sweetness and a light, comforting aroma. Traditionally enjoyed to help unwind and relax, it's the perfect choice for an evening cup or any moment when you need to slow down.

Genmaicha Green Tea
Genmaicha is a traditional Japanese green tea that combines fresh sencha leaves with toasted rice. The roasted grains give the infusion its distinctive mellow character, with comforting nutty flavours that beautifully complement the tea's gentle grassy freshness.

Sencha Kura Green Tea
This premium Japanese Sencha is harvested during the first flush from the renowned tea-growing region of Shizuoka, where cool conditions and fertile soils produce teas of exceptional freshness and character. Made from young, tender leaves, this Sencha offers a delicate sweetness with a fresh, fruity aroma.



Rohini 2023 First Flush Darjeeling
Harvested during the Spring 2023 first flush, this exceptional Darjeeling tea offers a bright, elegant cup with delicate notes of red fruits and a wonderfully smooth, lingering finish. First flush teas are harvested at the start of the growing season and are highly prized for their fresh, vibrant character.

Earl Grey Blue Flower Tea
The tea's distinctive character comes from natural bergamot oil, extracted from the rind of the fragrant bergamot orange. While there are many variations of Earl Grey, each differs according to the base tea and the style of bergamot used.

Pre-Rain Long Jing Dragon Well
This renowned Chinese green tea offers the classic nutty character Long Jing is famous for, complemented by delicious notes of roasted sweet potato and delicate candy floss sweetness. 

Known as Pre-Rain, this tea is harvested before the annual Grain Rain festival, which falls around 20th April. Teas picked before this date are especially prized for their tenderness, freshness and refined flavour.

Gin Tea And Roses
This distinctive blend combines premium black tea with fragrant rose petals and classic gin botanicals to create a wonderfully aromatic infusion inspired by the flavours of a refreshing gin and tonic. 

Juniper berries provide the unmistakable gin character, while coriander, winter savoury and angelica add layers of herbal complexity. Delicate rose petals complete the blend, creating a beautifully balanced cup that's both floral and refreshingly crisp.
