ADVENTure Tea Day 9:
Houjicha
To Japan! We sip on a roasted tea today. Houjicha is a mix of leaf and twigs, aged, and roasted the traditional way in a clay pot over charcoal.
The tea brews a light, roasted with slight grassy notes. Lovely on a cold winter day.

ADVENTure Tea Day 8:
Black Fusion
This is one of my all-time favourite teas. I have a strong connection with the Lochans and the Doke Tea Farm. I very much consider them extended family, and Rajiv a mentor in my tea journey.

ADVENTure Tea Day 6:
Earl Grey
Earl Grey is an old tea recipe, originally made by Italian sailors to combat scurvy on long ocean voyages. They would take black tea and add juiced bergamot fruit (similar to an orange and lime) then dry the peel and use that in the tea as well.

ADVENTure Tea Day 5:
Masala Chai
Lets jump on a plane to India! This tea is my take on a traditional masala (spiced) chai (tea). I start off the blend with a single origin black tea from Assam India.

DVENTure Tea Day 4:
Sakura Rose
Today we go to Japan for a unique tea blend. This tea is inspired by the Cherry Blossom festival in Japan. I start the blend with organic white tea, then organic rosehips, hibiscus and rose petals are added. The tea is finished with sakura (cherry) extract.

ADVENTure Day 3
Nepal Black
We venture to Nepal to the Kanchajangha Tea Garden, nestled in the Himalayan mountains.
This second flush (harvest) tea is a brisk black tea that captivates with its fruity and floral aromas, rich caramel hints, and distinct notes of raisins, cherry, and dark chocolate.
