Tea of the Week: Rosie Lee (summer tea) blend


Named after its creator, our very own sunny Aussie girl, Rosie, this blend has proved popular during the warmer months for its crisp, clean and refreshing taste.

A white tea base of Silver Needle provides a gentle foundation for the sharper flavours of juniper berries and lemon balm to come alive, this is a tea with a sophisticated balance of flavours.

Both juniper berries and lemon balm are praised for their relaxing properties, and have often been used as medicinal herbs in a variety of cultures to treat digestive issues and fight infection.

White tea is the purest, least processed type of tea, Silver Needle specifically being picked within the first 48 hours the buds open, giving them their silvery down, making it the purest of all the teas. They are then gently steamed and dried in the sun, giving it a fresh, delicate flavour.

White teas have been hailed as “the pinnacle of refinement”, and with the grown-up flavours of Juniper, you really can enjoy the long, summer evenings in style!
