Black & Dark
OUR BLACK TEAS..........
These are the teas we drink all day, every day and we have something for everyone, from strong builder teas
where a splash of milk helps develop the strong creamy body to a seasonally available handrolled tea with distinctive and unique floral notes. We are really proud of our black tea range and particularly the stone fruit flavours that some of our Malawian cultivars develop in the spring time. Our founder Maclean Kay was always a strong advocate of quality and we strive to maintain this standard he set.
OUR DARK TEAS..........
A relatively new departure for us. We started developing Dark Teas in 2009 in partnership with a Japanese company. All our teas todate are in the shou or 'cooked' style and are specially focused on developing clean flavours. These teas are always a surprise on our tasting table for tea aficionados who never expect to find this type never mind this quality (!) of tea in our part of the world. Know for their health benefits we plan to expand our range of dark teas in the future.
