What is Tea?
An introduction to the world of real tea — the plant, its varietals, the six main categories, and the concept of terroir.
Tea History
Over 5,000 years of tea — from the legend of Shen Nong to today's global tea culture. With a focus on China, Japan and Taiwan.
Green Tea
Non-oxidised tea from China and Japan — from Long Jing and Huang Shan Mao Feng to Sencha, Gyokuro and Matcha.
White Tea
The finest and least processed of all teas — from Yin Zhen Silver Needles in Fujian to wild-tree buds from Yunnan.
Yellow Tea
A rare Chinese specialty with a unique processing method.
Oolong Tea
The art of partial oxidation — from Tie Guan Yin and Da Hong Pao in China to Dong Ding, Oriental Beauty and high-mountain teas from Taiwan.
Black Tea
Fully oxidised tea — from Keemun, Yunnan Dianhong and Lapsang Souchong in China to the elegant Ruby 18 of Taiwan.
Fermented Tea
Truly microbially fermented teas — Puer from Yunnan, Hunan Hei Cha and Tibetan tea bricks. Teas that grow better with the years.
Scented & Flavoured Tea
From jasmine pearls and rose congou to Earl Grey and chai — the art of refining tea with flowers, fruits and spices.
Health Benefits
Antioxidants, L-Theanine, caffeine — scientifically backed benefits of tea.
