How to Brew 

You can discover our in depth black tea brewing guide to learn how to brew the perfect cup of tea. Use these quick steps to brew the perfect cup:  

• 1–2 teaspoons (2-3g) per cup 
• 200ml of fresh filtered boiled water (100°C) 
• Steep 3–5 minutes 
• Enjoy black or with milk 

For a teapot, use 1-2 teaspoons per person, 600ml to 1l depending on teapot size, plus one extra teaspoon for the pot. (2 to 3g per person, with an additional 2g for the pot to ensure balance.)  

For a stronger cup, use a little more tea and brew for a minute longer. For a lighter cup, simply reduce the leaf and shorten the steeping time. Feel free to experiment to find the balance that makes your perfect cup.

Darjeeling Origin and Craftsmanship 

Sourced from the celebrated tea gardens of Darjeeling, grown between 90 and 1,750 metres in the Himalayan foothills, this tea reflects the region’s cool mountain air, mineral rich soils and unique mosaic of microclimates. 

Crafted from the small leaf Camellia sinensis sinensis variety, the leaves undergo minimal oxidation and expert rolling, enhancing their floral top notes and distinct muscatel brightness. This seasonal First Flush tea has been honoured by the Great Taste Awards and the Guild of Fine Food for its purity and craftsmanship.
