Rose Congou is a blend of Keemun tea with rose petals. The rose petals are added during oxidisation which allows the rose to infuse into the black leaves. This gives the smell of a rose garden!
Keemun tea has a claim to fame as being one of the first Chinese teas to be imported into Europe. It is gentle and light, with layers of flavour – both smoky and malty with a hint of nuttiness and responds well to a long brew, don’t be scared to let it sit for up to 4 mins to get the full flavour out of these leaves.

Green Tea
A semi-fermented, small leaf, green tea with Jasmine flowers. The green tea brings a strong grassy edge with a lemon aftertaste and the Jasmine lightens the brew and adds a slightly smoky scent. The trick is not to over brew green teas, it is best to boil your water and leave it for about 2-3 minutes to cool and then brew your green tea for no longer than 3 minutes. This allows the fresh spring grass flavour to come out but not the bitter edge that puts some people off green tea.
