We make a big thing about using quality real tea. By quality real tea, we mean whole leaf tea, whole leaf herbs and whole flowers. Not the dusty stuff you’ll find in regular paper teabags.
It's all about the flavour. The tea in regular tea bags has been squashed, chopped and manhandled so, by the time it reaches your cup, almost all the flavour is lost. We don't think that's very nice.
The whole leaves, herbs and flowers in our tea temples have been handled gently and with love, to maintain every drop of that precious flavour.
Our Temple
Teas worthy of worship deserve their own temple. Our teas come in our special tea “temple” – a biodegradable mesh bag that gives the whole leaves lots of room to infuse. Looks pretty too. Loose tea without the fuss.
We think the teabag was an inspired idea – one of the greatest inventions before, and since, sliced bread. But whole leaf tea just doesn't work in regular paper teabags. And not everyone has the time to make loose tea the ‘proper' way, what with all that pot warming, deciding who will be mother, etc.
And so the tea temple was born – a roomy, biodegradable mesh bag, which offers all the space whole leaves need to infuse properly. Whole leaf tea, without the fuss. Yippeee!

Quality
We love our tea temple, but it's essentially the tea inside which makes all the difference. Louise has spent over 15 years sourcing and slurping tea – she makes sure that our teas are the very best quality you’ll find – promise! We’ve racked up 60 Great Taste Awards over the years – our mum’s are very proud.
Our Beliefs
we believe in something pure and simple… no airs. no graces. just fine tea
Highest Quality
We will only ever sell teas of the highest quality. We will never compromise on quality. It also means we sell only whole leaf tea from selected estates, which we supply either as loose leaf or in tea temples.
Tea Love
We love tea; we just don't like the snobbery that can come with it. Instead we concentrate on bringing you the very best tea we can find and not taking ourselves too seriously.
No airs and graces
We don't want to intimidate you with a huge list of teas or bewilder you with a mass of information (although, of course, you can always ask us). We've hand picked a select range that offers you the chance to discover the wonderfully diverse world of tea.
