THE PERFECT CUP OF TEA
USING LOOSE LEAF TEAS: TEA BREWING TIPS FROM OUR TEA MASTER
HEATING THE WATER
Always start with freshly drawn cold water. If possible, use filtered water to remove any other additives like chlorine that may affect the taste. Heat water using an electric or stovetop kettle. Boil the water to the temperature recommended for your tea, it can vary from 65 to 100 degrees centigrade click here for more details. Tea leaves love oxygen, so we recommend not to use previously boiled water as it becomes de-oxygenated and will not produce a good brew.
CHOOSE YOUR TEA
Choose your favorite tea from our carefully curated tea library including more than 120 teas. A specialised selection process is used by our tea master to choose each one.
Black teas are the most popular, however, if you’re looking for a lighter tea, we have a wide range to choose from: soft and sweet white teas, flowery oolongs, refreshing green teas, and beautiful flowering teas.

BREW IN A TEAPOT
Warm the pot by swirling a small amount of boiled water in it and rinse. Measure the correct amount of tea leaves per person and add them to the warm teapot. Gently pour hot water over the tea leaves
From a short 60 seconds to a long five minutes, each tea variety has a different brewing time, click here for more details.
When the tea is ready, strain into your favourite teacup or mug and enjoy

MILK, SUGAR, OR NEITHER?
Its a matter of taste and personal preference. Our tea master’s recommendation is to try drinking tea ‘black’, you will be surprised by the difference in flavour. Some tea varieties are naturally sweet, so they may not require any sugar.
When it comes to milk, stronger teas such as our Assam and Royal Breakfast do taste delicious when a splash of milk is added, it mellows the strong flavour and enhances the taste, but green, white and floral teas are very delicate and you should drink them without anything added to them.
