Fortune's Adventurer's Black Tea

In 1848, the British East India Company sent Robert Fortune on a daring expedition into China's forbidden interior. Disguised and determined, he journeyed into the Wu Si Shan hills to uncover the secrets of tea cultivation and secure precious rootstock—a mission that would ultimately transform tea production across India.

We've created this blend as a tribute to Fortune's botanical travels, combining four exceptional teas from the regions he explored. Each stands beautifully on its own, yet together they weave a sophisticated tapestry of flavour. Expect layers of cocoa, rose, caramel, sweet tobacco, Muscatel, honey and frankincense—a complex, exotic character that rewards the curious palate and invites discovery with every cup.

A tea for the adventurous spirit.
