Tea drinking has been a cherished tradition for centuries, but it’s also become super trendy, especially among millennials. So, when we decided to dive into the world of fine teas, we approached it just like we do with our coffee – with a focus on creating a beautiful experience that’s all about subtlety and thoughtful choices.
We didn’t want to overwhelm the natural flavours of our classic teas like Rooibos, Ceylon, and Earl Grey. Instead, we wanted to enhance them with carefully selected ingredients that would complement their unique profiles without stealing the show. It was all about striking that perfect balance and making sure each tea bag packed just the right punch of flavour. Our goal? To keep things subtle but oh-so-delicious!
