China produces a tremendous variety of excellent black teas. Keemun, Lapsang Souchong, Yunnan, and Congou are examples. Highlights of our current range? Well, we suggest you try the Rose Congou for starters - a wonderful black tea delicately infused with the scent of rose petals.
Congou is a general term indicating a black tea from China. Ours, from the Anhui Province, is naturally sweet and aromatic, with a bright, floral flavour. To be drunk preferably without milk.
Rose Congou, The Emperor of Teas, is a special and intriguing tea. A supple, firm non-broken black tea from China, its character becomes almost delicate and ethereal when infused with the scent of thousands of rose petals.
Keemun, the famous black tea from China, is not smoky, and is known for its orchard aroma and brilliant red liquor. Its mild, sweet flavour make it a perfect evening tea. It is also used as the base for scented blends.
The “Burgundy of Teas” from the Anhui Province of E. China. A strong, sweet aromatic and flavoursome tea, Keemun has a smoky character, which is light enough to be drunk without milk.
Black Yunnan tea is bright and golden in colour. The flavour is smooth and mellow with a delightful nutty character. Will tolerate a little milk if required.
Lapsang Souchong is the famous smoky tea from China - you either love it or you hate it! The Falcon has a more robust flavour than the more delicate Osprey. Whilst the Osprey is technically the better tea, it is all a matter of taste and many people prefer Falcon.
Lapsang Souchong Osprey is the best quality Lapsang, more subtle than other Lapsangs, with a wonderfully refreshing smoky flavour and tarry aroma. You either love it or you hate it!
