Tea is more than a delightful beverage; it is a powerful ally in your routine to elevate and strengthen your health, palate and senses. The nature of tea goes beyond the addition of milk and sugar - its simplicity is in the brewing process, unlocking flavours, textures and aromas, all that can be missed by additives.
We advocate for healthier alternatives, especially this upcoming winter where keeping up with natural nutrients and health benefits in your diet is very important. Here are the benefits to cutting out sweeteners this winter:
Strengthening Your Palate:
Our single-origin teas reflect the unique climate, soil, and harvesting practices of a particular region; as such the natural essence of the lands can be tasted, and through that you come to understand the meanings and journeys that our teas go through. By practicing mindful tasting, your palate becomes more attuned to different flavour profiles and thus you can reveal its true character so you can enjoy all of the benefits.
Brewing tea at the right temperature and for the correct amount of time can reveal its own identity; each blend having its own optimal conditions that affect and adjust how each is tasted and consumed. For example, boiling water may be perfect for black tea, but it can ruin the delicate notes of green tea. Getting the brew just right enhances the flavor and helps you appreciate the intricacies of your cup.
The majority of teas available today are homogenised for consistency at the expense of flavour and identity to achieve uniformity, diluting their unique character. Our teas are committed to sourcing directly from smallholder farmers, ensuring the distinctiveness of each region and terroir, much like how diverse and local food systems preserve culture and taste. This ethos is part of our story and our origins: from Nepal, Kenya, Japan, and Taiwan - all delivering a distinct flavour profile and a personal story.

By tuning into the nuances of each tea, the aromas, textures, and finish, it can transform your daily routine and ultimately boost your mental and physical wellbeing.
