Revised 21st June 2010 - New choices!
As well as teas, we stock a range of infusions. Typically unblended, our teas are sourced throughout the world and sometimes are a refreshing change from those grown in North America. While known often for their curative properties, these teas present a wonderful spectrum of flavours.
Tulsi Rose (9.00/17.50/34.00) NEW
Holy Basil, an ancient and highly revered Ayurvedic herb, is blended with lavender and rose petal for a delicate taste.
Ginger Mint Maté (8.00/15.50/30.00) NEW
This sprightly infusion is already a hit! Yerba maté, ginger, peppermint and fruit pieces combine to energise and soothe.
Sweet Maté Orange (7.00/13.50/26.00) NEW
A sweet orange variation of the classic Maté for your cuia.
Wildwood (8.00/15.50/30.00)
Reminiscent of a forest in early summer - the sweet taste of strawberry, tartness of rosehip and the clean aftertaste of mint in a bed of elderflower and blackcurrant leaves.
Meadowsweet (8.00/15.50/30.00)
The earthy sweetness of liquorice root, tartness of dried fruit and a plethora of flower petals make this an infusion fit for the court of the fairy queen herself.
Lime Flower (9.00/17.50/34.00)
Grown in Greece and Turkey, lime flower produces a delicately flavoured drink which should be steeped for up to four minutes.
Lemon Verbena (10.00/19.00/36.00)
From Morocco, large uncut leaves infuse to give a pale yellow, light bodied drink with characteristic lemon aroma and taste.
Peppermint (7.00/13.50/26.00)
A great base to blend with. Sharp and refreshing with the light bodied taste of menthol. An attractive colour and aroma combine to produce an excellent flavour with 'pick-me-up' qualities.
Chamomile Flowers (7.00/13.50/26.00)
Allow the full flower to infuse for a minimum of four minutes and enjoy its comforting and soothing characteristics. Frequently used as a calmative.
Mate (7.00/13.50/26.00)
Having an astringent, slightly bitter taste, the infusion is high in caffeine, natural stimulant and vitamin C. Its taste is likened to roasted leaves, enhanced by fermentation during processing.
Elderflower (7.00/13.50/26.00)
Elderflower cordial is a particularly refreshing drink. Wash a lemon and peel the rind thinly. Add the lemon rind and sugar to taste to the elderflower. Pour on boiling water and allow the elderflower to infuse. Allow the liquid to cool. Strain the tea and drink it diluted with further water or milk.
Red Raspberry Leaves (7.00/13.50/26.00)
A wild member of the rose family, rich in minerals and vitamins, raspberry leaves produce an astringent, yet soothing, infusion.
Rosehip (7.00/13.50/26.00)
Made from the finely crushed hips of the dog rose. Use one teaspoon per cup, pour on boiling water, cover and leave to stand for five to seven minutes. Sweeten with honey if necessary or add a slice of lemon to make a refreshing drink.
