JASMINE
Jasmine Pearls These handmade Jasmine Pearls are one of the few authentic jasmine teas available in the UK. Soft young green tea buds are delicately infused with fresh jasmine blossoms to make the most fragrant, heady and refreshing tea. 75°C 1tsp 250 ml 2-3 mins
GREEN
Jade Tips Jade Tips green tea grows high in the cool, misty mountain air of Fujian and has a clean, round, refreshing flavour and a pleasingly sweet finish. 70°C 1-2 tsp 250 ml 2 mins

The liquor has notes of freshly cut grass, rounded off by a soft, nutty flavour. 65°C 1 tbsp 250 ml 2- 3 mins
Pouchong Pouchong is grown in the crisp mountain air of Wen Shan in northern Taiwan. Its smooth floral notes and sweet apricot finish make for a soft, creamy liquor that the locals call a green tea, though technically it is a very lightly oxidised oolong tea. 80°C 1-2 tsp 250 ml 2-3 mins
Gyokuro Gyokuro is by far one of, if not the best, green tea from Japan.

Oriental Beauty This rare Taiwanese oolong tea has a special story behind it. The farmer only picks the tea once the tea jassid – a small cricket – has nibbled the edges of the leaves.
