Immerse yourself in our most decadent loose leaf tea box. We have assembled a truly unique collection of three premium black teas and incredibly rare Supreme Meng Ding yellow tea.
These mini pagodas remind us of Christmas trees and are the perfect treat for yourself or a friend. Sometimes known as Yunnan Red, these hand-tied black tea leaves create a wonderful golden liquor and an incredibly smooth and sweet honey flavour. We wanted to source a Dian Hong that was full of wonderful light flavours without astringency.

Rwanda is not the first place you may think of when thinking about black tea, but their unique climate, 4500m high mountains and ancient forests means this landlocked African nation creates a highly aromatic and spicy, nutty fresh black tea. The curled leaves are light and long and one of the few styles to be produced in an orthodox method reminiscent of Darjeeling and Ceylon.

This incredibly precious and rare Meng Ding comes from Mt Mengshan in Sichuan province, one of the earliest tea cultivation areas dating back over 2000 years. Considered one of the most popular tribute teas during the Tang Dynasty 907AD, Meng Ding brews a complex infusion with hints of floral, sweet and nutty flavour.

Twisted brown leaves create a red, amber clear liquor with a sweet honey flavour and lingering complex aftertaste, making this an incredibly versatile black tea. In Fujian Province, ancient wild tea trees still grow organically in the forest and have done for thousands of years. The harvest is in tune with nature and is limited to only what is available that season.

The black teas in this box are truly special! I particularly like the Wuyi Wild black tea - so flavourful and chocolaty! Also, very cool to try the yellow tea - it's very tasty!
I loved every tea, the experience and the style of the ceremony - very nice and easy glass that you can see the tea through. Pretty and tasty! Also the selection of teas is great and unexpected - a lot to discover, and try over and over again as this tea lasts long.
Achtung, macht süchtig! ;-) Schwarze Hong Pagoda Tee - sehr feine aromatische Geschmack, aber bin besonderes vom Yellow Buds Tee begeistert! Vom seinen Feinsinn und reinen Duft....wollte sofort zweite Tasse davon trinken! Glass für Tee-Zubereitung finde ich genial!
