Golden Monk
Black TeaComplex full flavour large clonal leaf tea from the small boutique Arya Tea garden. Planted at the highest point on the estate, at an altitude of 1820 meters, as one of the highest estates in Darjeeling the bushes grow slower, producing less tea per plant each season. The result, a rich full flavour tea with notably none of the classic Darjeeling astringency but a much sweeter taste extravaganza, a flavoursome red cup with smooth chocolate velvet notes.

Organic Green Rooibos
Tisane (Herbal Tea)From the Wiedouw estate in the Cederberg Mountains of South Africa, where it is organically grown, this rare long-cut green rooibos herbal tea is hand-picked and cured naturally in the sun. With a fresh natural vegetal taste, being only partly processed much like any normal green tea, this green Rooibos contains a higher level of antioxidants and minerals than standard Rooibos. Which arguably means this naturally caffeine free, organic and rainforest alliance certified tea, could arguably be the healthiest tea in the world!
There is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea
