Why The Right Teaware Matters
There’s an art to brewing a great cup of tea. It starts with storage: keeping your luxury loose-leaf teas in a light-resistant caddy with a properly sealed lid will guarantee freshness and protect them from other smells and flavours in your kitchen cupboard.
The right tea-making tools can make the world of difference, too, whether it’s a teapot with a convenient integrated infuser for your everyday English breakfast brew, an authentic gaiwan for your artisan-rolled oolong or a thermometer to ensure you get the water temperature just right.
You’ll get superior results by matching the teapot to the style of tea. While you might get away with a compact infuser for a tea with smaller leaves, like our Irish Breakfast, for example, larger leaved varieties such as Jasmine Silver Needle or Whole Chamomile Blossoms will need more room to expand and steep.
Some teas are perfect for a clay or ceramic pot, while others – such as our Artisan Flowering Tea Bulbs – are best enjoyed in a glass pot, so you can watch them unfurl and bloom. Making matcha? A traditional bamboo whisk will make light work of blending your favourite healthy green tea into a light and creamy froth, thanks to its flexibility and multiple prongs.
Whatever your needs, our extensive range of teaware and accessories make brewing and serving loose-leaf tea effortless.

Matcha FAQ
Matcha is a powdered green tea made from shade‑grown leaves that are stone‑ground. Unlike regular green tea, you consume the whole leaf, making matcha green tea powder uniquely rich in flavour and nutrients.

Yes. Matcha contains caffeine, but it is released more gradually thanks to naturally occurring L‑theanine, resulting in calm, sustained energy rather than a sharp spike.
Matcha is naturally high in antioxidants and contains compounds that support focus, metabolism and overall wellbeing. Learn more in our Green Tea Matcha Benefits Guide.
Matcha is prepared by whisking sifted matcha powder with hot water below boiling point until frothy. Full instructions are included in the step‑by‑step guide above.
