Tea - Black - Campfire at Jamestown

Named after the ruling King at the time, Jamestown became the first British settlement in the Americas. Entirely unexpectedly, however, the colony’s founding also turned out to be the catalyst that led to Pocahontas’ legend reaching every corner of the world. Smoky Lapsang Souchong black tea and vividly fiery flowers ignite a sense of warming around a campfire under the stars of Virginia. Essences of apple and vanilla sweeten the experience.

Why Loose-Leaf Tea and Why Our Tea?

Our loose-leaf tea is pure and unadulterated. No additives are used during the manufacturing process. The tea you drink is simply dried leaves and ingredients, making it entirely natural. We ensure the highest quality and ethical sourcing by paying fair prices and reinvesting resources into the communities that farm the tea.

Here are six reasons to choose loose-leaf tea:

1. Higher Quality: Most supermarket bagged teas use dust and fannings, the tiny bits left over from loose-leaf tea production.
2. Fresher: Mass-produced tea bags often contain leaves from various locations that have travelled long distances, resulting in less freshness.
3. Better Taste: Bagged teas are blended for standardisation, leading to a one-dimensional taste. Loose-leaf tea offers a more refined experience with distinct flavours and aromas from different types of leaves and origins.
4. More Diverse: Beyond black and green tea, loose-leaf varieties include oolong, white, yellow, and fermented teas, each reflecting unique cultivars, climates, and production methods.
5. Better for the Environment: Most tea bags are not compostable. Loose-leaf tea reduces packaging waste and can be directly composted. Our few bagged teas use compostable corn starch bags.
6. Good for Your Health: Tea has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The catechins in green tea, responsible for health benefits, are most concentrated in fresh leaves. Loose-leaf tea preserves these benefits better than the highly processed dust and fannings in tea bags.

Choosing loose-leaf tea enhances your tea-drinking experience while supporting ethical practices and sustainability. Enjoy a fresher, more flavourful, and healthier cup with our loose-leaf selections
