Description: Criss-crossing vast lands of tea cultivation, the tiger once thrived in the mountainous areas native to the Camellia sinensis var. assamica tea plant. Honouring these amazing places, along with their tea traditions, we drew inspiration from the mighty tiger to come up with an adventurous and spiced blend of beautiful black teas.
Tasting Notes: A tasty and comforting cup with a subtle touch of zesty citrus, peppery ginger, and sweet cinnamon. The large leaf black teas in this blend offer a smooth and balanced base with clear, malted notes throughout each sip. Wonderful with a touch of honey.
Brewing Instructions: 2g per cup. 100ºC water. Steep 3-5 minutes.

China has a rich and ancient tradition of producing high quality teas of all varieties, and black tea is no exception. This is where tea culture and industry, as we know it, began nearly 2,000 years ago.
Known as ‘Red Tea’ in China, the tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis sinensis plant are smaller and finer than their Indian counterparts, the Camellia sinensis assamica, and prefer cooler mountainous regions. Usually plucked by hand and gently processed, the end result are exquisitely fragrant teas with lesser levels of astringency and a soft body.
Several Chinese provinces are famous for their regional tea selections: Fujian Province is home to the well-known, pine-smoked Lapsang Souchong, while Keemun tea, the official choice of the British Queen, is produced in Anhui Province. Yunnan province produces the ever-popular varieties of Yunnan black tea and is also the region where China started its tea cultivation.
