any time of the day. It has an orange-red colour and is delightful with or without milk. An excellent
breakfast tea can be made by blending Keemun with Assam.

This high grade Lapsang has an intense, charcoal smoke flavour achieved by placing black tea leaves
in bamboo baskets, suspended over pine wood fires. The smoke from the fires permeates the tea where it
remains until released by infusion. Lapsang Souchong is traditionally enjoyed by lovers of single malt
whisky and fine cigars.

Organically produced in Yunnan Province and very rare in the UK, Pu-erh is unique in both flavour and
production method (still a closely guarded secret). A long steep is recommended to bring out the wonderful
flavour and well-proven health benefits. Research in China and Japan has shown that drinking Pu-erh
can help reduce cholesterol, cleanse the blood, aid digestion of fatty foods and assist in the elimination
of excess alcohol from the bloodstream. A good choice for those wishing to reduce body weight.

A first flush, spring picked tea grown in Fujian Province. The 'sparrow's tongue', gold-tipped leaves are

Assam is undoubtedly the richest of all black teas and is the only variety we recommend to take with
milk. Assam is an excellent breakfast tea and our example is no exception.

The tea plantations of Darjeeling are located at over 2000 metres in the majestic Himalayas. Although
Darjeeling can be very expensive, our 'second flush' house blend, selected from special gardens, is
excellent value for money and is beautiful with or without milk. Care must be taken not to over steep
as the tea may become bitter. We find this to be one of the most refreshing teas.

Sikkim is a small tea growing area on the eastern side of the Himalayas, north of Darjeeling and
bordering Tibet and Nepal. This wonderfully aromatic tea will delight lovers of quality, high-grown
Darjeelings. It is full-flavoured, yet delicate with underlying Muscatel notes. Highly recommended.

Tea labelled 'Earl Grey' can be found in most supermarkets these days but this is invariably of very
poor quality. These blends are often made from fannings and flavoured with bergamot extract. A true
Earl Grey is made from a blend of various black teas (normally Chinese but sometimes Indian and Ceylon
teas) combined with the highly aromatic oil obtained from the rind of fresh bergamot fruit. Our Earl
Grey is a fine example of the style and is made with fresh Sicilian bergamot oil. We urge all Earl
Grey drinkers to try this one.

One of the very best Ceylon teas and of extremely limited production. The beautiful wiry tippy leaves
produce a sparkling bright liquor with a honey-like aroma and a subtle astringency. This is one of our
favourite black teas.
