“Sophisticated, rounded in flavour and without any bitterness, this iced tea is packed full of elderflowers. They are blended with the Oolong tea. Low in caffeine with agave syrup which is low in calories. Freeze it in a large dish and crush to a granite.”

White Tea – after all those mince pies and mulled wine, a good old detox will be the order of the day!  Our white tea has a light and ethereal taste and is packed with antioxidants.  What better way to refresh your system?

Earl Grey – during those cosy evening spent by the fireplace in refuge from the cold, there’s nothing better than to relax with a cup of our earl grey in hand.  Aromatic and smooth, also the winner of the Best Non – alcoholic Beverage at this year’s Organic Food Awards

Last week we attended the organic food awards reception at the Bordeaux Quay in Bristol, where a sumptuous meal was prepared by renowned chef Barnaby Haughton. The clever thing about it was that all the winning food  had been used as ingredients for the lunch (see below). Bizarrely, Hampstead Tea was used in the dessert to make “pairs in earl grey sauce” a unique combination, which worked remarkably well. Perhaps we should start thinking about launching Hampstead Desserts? Well, maybe…

We’re delighted to announce that our Earl Grey Leaf tea has won an Organic Food Award and that we got a whole article in The Times! Of course, we believe that our partner estates produce some of the world’s finest organic teas and we’re not the only ones who think so. Our Earl Grey is made from a careful blend of biodynamic darjeeling tea and natural oil of bergamot -  no artificial flavourings. Resulting in a smooth, aromatic and sophisticated tea.

Our white tea was also Highly Commended. This is a special handmade tea, tiny new leaves and buds are carefully hand picked and sun-dried, leaving the tea fresh and full of healthy antioxidants. Our white tea is deliciously sweet with a light silvery liquor. Known for its anti ageing benefits.
