TEA INFUSION GUIDE
The optimum steep will differ for each tea. This is the point where the full flavour of the tea is released without imparting tannic or bitter flavours into the water.
CLASSIC SELECTION
Classic selection is a premium version of the classic teas consumed daily. These teas are bought direct from growers and are shipped monthly to ensure maximum freshness.
