The base tea in this blend is our Special Aged 15yr Pu-erh. Pu-erh tea has its own imperial background, with the Emperor of China exporting it for the first time as a gift to the King of England in 1806.
Since then, Pu-erh tea has gained popularity outside of China, and has become well known recently for its health benefits, including helping to lower cholesterol and as a digestive aid.
Pu-erh tea on its own has a very distinct, earthy flavour due to the fermentation process it goes through where it is buried underground. Needless to say, it’s quite an acquired taste!
We’ve added orange pieces and cornflower to help sweeten and soften this distinctive tea, and think it’s the perfect way of easing yourself into discovering one of China’s most unique teas!
So, pop in at 2.30 everyday this week to try our regal blend!
