English tea culture is as rich and varied as the country's history, with a vast array of teas to suit every taste. From the robust and invigorating to the light and soothing, each tea tells a story of its origin and the unique art of tea-making. Let's explore some of the most popular English tea menu items.

Black Teas

Black teas are the most common in English tea culture, known for their robust flavor and invigorating properties. They are fully oxidized, resulting in a dark, rich liquor.

Black teas are typically enjoyed with milk and sugar, although some connoisseurs prefer them au naturel to appreciate their complex flavors.

Breakfast Teas

Breakfast teas are strong, full-bodied black teas designed to complement a hearty breakfast. They are usually a blend of Assam, Ceylon, and Kenyan teas, providing a robust, malty flavor.

Our house breakfast tea is a perfect balance of these three varieties, offering a rich, satisfying start to your day. For those who prefer a lighter breakfast tea, our Earl Grey Breakfast is a delightful option, with the refreshing citrus notes of bergamot oil complementing the malty base.

Assam Teas

Assam teas are grown in the Brahmaputra Valley of India and are known for their strong, malty flavor. They are typically full-bodied and robust, with a rich, coppery liquor.

Our Single Estate Assam tea is a perfect example, offering a bold, invigorating taste that's ideal for those who like their tea strong. For a unique twist, try our Chai Assam, blended with warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom for a comforting, aromatic experience.

Green Teas

Green teas are less oxidized than black teas, resulting in a lighter, more delicate flavor. They are typically enjoyed without milk, allowing their subtle nuances to shine.

Green teas are known for their health benefits, rich in antioxidants that can help protect against cell damage.

Gunpowder Teas

Gunpowder teas are a type of Chinese green tea rolled into small pellets, resembling gunpowder. They are known for their smoky, slightly sweet flavor and smooth, refreshing finish.

Our Gunpowder Green tea is a classic example, offering a delightful balance of smokiness and sweetness. For a unique twist, try our Jasmine Gunpowder, where the delicate floral notes of jasmine complement the smoky base.

Sencha Teas

Sencha teas are Japanese green teas known for their grassy, slightly sweet flavor. They are typically steamed rather than pan-fired, resulting in a lighter, more delicate taste.

Our Sencha tea is a perfect example, offering a refreshing, invigorating taste that's ideal for any time of day. For a unique twist, try our Matcha Sencha, where the vibrant green powder of matcha adds a rich, creamy texture and a boost of antioxidants.
