Monthly tea subscription
Invest in your wellbeing, every day
Your monthly tea subscription helps you take healthy time out for yourself, and make that a habit every day. It offers you a regular invitation to feel restored, calm and centred. It's not only the nutrient content of tea that is good for you, the simple act of preparing and drinking good tea is a grounding experience.
We believe investing in your wellbeing is not a luxury; it's smart and, these days, it's a necessity.
What you receive with your subscription
In the first week of every month, you’ll receive a box with two different specialty teas, (see below for this month's teas). Every tea is tasted and chosen by our founder, Certified Tea Master Anna Kydd.
If you’re a regular tea-drinker, drinking 1-2 cups a day, the quantity of tea (2 x 20g pouches) will last you around half the month (each pouch yields a minimum of 14 cups if you steep the same leaves twice). Your first box comes with our tea guide to help you steep and taste your teas. If you want to add teaware to your first box, see the bottom of the page for a discount offer.
We focus on high-quality, small-batch teas. Each month, we choose one darker-style tea (dark, black or highly-oxidised oolong) and one lighter-style tea (lightly-oxidised oolong, green, yellow or white). So there should always be one tea that suits your taste buds, plus another to help you experience a new flavour.
Who is the subscription for?
If you consider yourself a 'foodie'; if you are curious and love trying new flavours or taking part in food and beverage tastings; and if you are interested in learning more about tea, then our tea subscription is perfect for you.
With specialty tea, the flavours you experience may be different to what you are used to. So, when you drink it, you will have a wonderful experience if you are curious and choose to adopt an adventurous palette. If you love the comfort of your tea tasting the same each time, your best option is to stick to your normal tea brand rather than join our subscription.
Timing
Your first box is charged and delivered right away. All subsequent boxes are charged on the 1st of each month, then put on the courier the next working day.
Tea knowledge
We believe that knowledge is powerful; that discovering and learning about different types of tea will give you a more enriching experience. By purchasing the monthly subscription box you give us permission to add your email address to our mailing list, so Anna can send you information about your teas each month. Please let us know if you wish to opt-out.
In our November 2024 box:
Gande Tie Guan Yin, 'Iron Goddess of Mercy'
Oolong tea, China
Flavour: floral, creamy & vegetal ~ opulent & heady
These tightly rolled, jade-green leaf pellets infuse into an aromatic liquor with a thick and luscious mouthfeel, floral notes of honeysuckle and gardenia, hints of sweet cream and savoury notes of artichoke.
Tie Guan Yin translates to Iron Goddess of Mercy. It is a famous style of tea that follows the legend of a farmer who was rewarded with tea seeds after caring for a derelict iron-cast Goddess of Mercy shrine, many thousands of years ago.
A premium-grade, Autumn 2023 harvest from Gande village located in Anxi county, Fujian province, south eastern China.
Shui Xian, "Water Lily'
Oolong tea, China
Flavour: sweet, roasty, floral ~ soft & luscious
A Spring 2024 harvest, traditional oolong from the Shui Xian cultivar of Camellia Sinensis. These leaves are grown by village elders in Phoenix Village, Wu Yi mountains, Fujian province, who tenaciously keep their gardens entirely in the Shui Xian cultivar. The tea plants are around 60 years old and grow naturally.
The infusion releases a sweet aroma and a cascade of delicious notes: milk caramel, honey, cinnamon, dry roasted almonds with a mineral undertone and floral tail. The tea’s full name is "Mi Xiang" Shui Xian – ‘Honey Aroma’ Water Lily.
