About this tea

A mountain tea from a single garden, smoked the old way in a wooden loft above a slow pine fire.

How to brew it

Use water just off the boil and give the leaves room to open. The tea is forgiving: a minute too long makes it stronger, not bitter. See the other black teas if you prefer a lighter cup.

  • 3 grams of leaf for a 250 ml cup.
  • Water at 95 degrees, four minutes.
  • A second, shorter infusion is worth making.

Keeping it fresh

Store the tin closed, away from light and spices. Enter FLUSH10 at the basket for a tenth off your first order.
