STAR OF THE ORIENT FLAVOURED BLACK TEA

This flavoured black tea is made on the shop premises by hand. We use the finest, high grown jasmine black tea from the Fujian province as the base and blend with other traditional scented black teas osmanthus and rose, with a dash of sweet orange oil. The tea is a lovely accompaniment to spicy food or with a slice of toast and marmalade! Ever since the Chinese first added blossoms and fruit juices to tea centuries ago, people have enjoyed experimenting to find complementary flavours. The marriage of tea to natural fruit oils, flowers and spices, opens up an infinite variety of surprising tastes to the drinker. They are complemented by the addition of sugar and can be taken with milk if desired.
