Black Tea

Black tea is perhaps the best known, most familiar tea in western countries, but familiarity can leave you drinking without tasting. Our superb single estate speciality loose leaf teas provide you with an array of choice and taste you will not find in tea bags or at your supermarket. Black tea has many health benefits, enjoys less caffeine content than coffee, is high in specific antioxidants and other benefical components. Black tea can be enjoyed all day, as a pick me up in the morning to a relaxing drink before bedtime. 

Please see our tea and health section for more information about the health benefits of tea.
