Pu-erh Tea

This type of Chinese tea is made from fermented and aged leaves, giving it an earthy flavor with woody notes. It’s also known for its medicinal properties and has been used for centuries as a digestive aid.

Matcha

This bright green tea powder is made from crushing green tea leaves into a fine powder that can be stirred into hot water or added to smoothies and lattes. It has an intense flavor that can be described as sweet but grassy at the same time.

Rooibos

Also known as Red Bush tea, this South African infusion comes from the rooibos plant (Aspalathus linearis). It has a light earthy taste with subtle fruity notes and no caffeine or tannins like traditional teas, so it can be enjoyed without any bitterness or aftertaste.

Fruit Infusions

If you love fruity flavors, then try a fruit infusion! These teas are made by combining real fruit pieces with herbs and spices like cinnamon or ginger for a unique flavor experience. Our Ferry Berry tea is a spiced fruit tea with cinnamon and a hint of chilli – perfect after a swim or if you’re feeling a bit, well… chilly. It’s an unusual tea blend, but it’s just delicious.

Lemon Verbena Tea

This light and refreshing blend combines lemongrass with naturally sweet lemon verbena leaves. The result is an aromatic flavor that’s perfect for sipping on a summer day. With notes of citrus and floral herbs, this tea is sure to become one of your favorites! Machair is our take on a summer tea, inspired by the Scottish machairs covered in flowers, it has a green rooibos base and lemon verbena. Delicious!

Bark Infusions

As strange as it may sound, there is such a thing as bark tea! The most common type is Birch Leaf Tea, which has a mild taste with hints of vanilla and caramel undertones. It’s perfect for those who want something different but still enjoy the taste of traditional black teas.

Flavored Black Teas

If you love black tea but want something sweeter than plain old English Breakfast, why not try one of the many flavored varieties? From chai spice to raspberry crème brulee, there are endless combinations just waiting to be discovered!

Mint Chocolate Chip Tea

For those who love ice cream but don’t want the dairy, Mint Chocolate Chip Tea is here for you. Yup, apparently it exists!
