My favourite tea

The tea has a lovely hint of honey, it is almost moorish to drink. Delightful to sip on a wintery morning. The orangey tones if brewed for not too long (I let it sit for 4 minutes) and colour of the tea is just magical.
I am astonished how fast the delivery service was! Thank you.

Unbelievably Fast Delivery

What I'm wondering is do you have a plane standing by to fly my tea over and then a motorbike courier waiting to delivery it to my door? Delivery is so very fast! Thank goodness because I only had a couple of cups left when I realised I had forgotten to place my usual order. Placed order yesterday and it arrived at midday - amazing.

Delicious tea, in so many ways

We drink this at breakfast, brewed for quite a long time, just adding a tiny splash of milk. And in the afternoon black, the first cup poured almost straight off the leaves and a second cup obviously brewed a bit longer. It's refreshing, aromatic, tasty in all these different styles.
