Black Teas
Black tea covers an astonishing range of styles - bright, clear, citrus Ceylons all the way through to rich, malty muscular Assams. Black tea takes us on a world tour of fantastic richness and variety. We can visit India for Darjeeling and Assam; Ceylon for the astonishing Nuwara Eliyas and Dimbulas; and Kenya for a Milima. Some people do not realise that China also produces some sublime black teas - Keemuns and Lapsangs, for instance. There is a whole world of wonderful flavours to explore and we hope you can join us.
