Black TeaA Little Black Tea from our range is sure to turn heads! Choose a classic black number or something more adventurous! Learn more about black tea Read More Black teas are like green & white teas, from the Camelia sinensis; & whilst the flavours may vary depending on the country of origin, climate, soil, & even harvesting method, the four stage processing method is always used. Black teas are always the result of the leaves being withered, rolled, oxidised (fermentation) & firing (drying). Unlike white & green teas there is no steaming (de-enzymed) as the enzymes need to remain active to create the characteristic black tea flavour. The leaf during the third stage (oxidisation) develops its recognizable aroma & flavour, becomes darker in colour & develops caffeine & theaflavins (antioxidant polyphenols). As well as black tea being very popular & even more so now with flavoured varieties (our all naturally flavoured) available the health benefits including being effective against dementia in aging, reducing cholesterol, scavenging free radicals, & anti-cancerous. There is always that delightful benefit of pouring a nice fresh cuppa & sitting down to enjoy it either with a good book, a friend or family. Put simply, tea is…

Earl Grey TeasEarl Grey is one of the most famous teas in the world. At the Art of Tea, we have developed a range of teas, and even rooibos, that is flavoured by bergamot. Bergamot oil is from the citrus family, hence it’s uplifting aromas. Our original Earl Grey is by far the strongest, so if you love a really robust Earl grey then go no farther that this. Our latest blend- the Premium French Earl Grey has a blend of organic ingredients and premium teas to make this special brew. Mary Elizabeth Grey was the wife of Earl Grey II, aka lady Grey and we have this tea in honour of her. Why not try our Tasmanian Lavender Earl Grey blend – traditional yet floral and calming.
ChaiChai tea is the synergy between (usually) black tea and traditional chai spices. We use our signature spice mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, star anise, cloves and cardamom. We have had 21 years to perfect this chai spice mix and delighted that each spice can be enjoyed without any particular one dominating. We have also made 3 caffeine-free chai blends to add to our range, so you are not having to drink black tea to enjoy a delicious chai brew.
