WHAT IS TEA?

Tea is an evergreen shrub native to East Asia - its scientific name is Camellia sinensis. It has a stimulating effect on humans due to its caffeine content and depending on how it’s cultivated and prepared, has a vast array of flavour profiles created by pouring water over the cured leaves. Try our tea today.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF TEA?

Generally speaking there are four categories of tea: black, oolong, green and white tea. All come from the same shrub, the camellia sinensis plant. It is the region in which it’s grown, as well as how the leaves are processed, that determines what kind of tea is produced.
