How many grams of tea in a cup?

Around 3-5 grams per cup.  On average, you will use 2.5 grams per 6oz cup. With this logic, we can conclude the following: 50g = 20 cups, 100g = 40 cups, 250g = 100 cups and 1lb = 180 cups of tea. Every tea is different, these are rough estimates.

How do I make or steep my tea properly?

All teas come with very specific directions, including how much tea, what temperature and how long you should steep for.  These are suggestions and we encourage you to experiment!

Why don't you use artificial flavours?  

Some tea companies fill their teas with candy and sugar and artificial flavours, we keep our teas pure and natural.  Using natural extracts, we can create the tastes you love without chemicals!

How long does your tea last?

Packaged tea has a shelf life of up to 24 months however because the tea will be opened and enjoyed regularly by you, we suggest consumption within 12 months for maximum freshness.  Make sure you keep your tea sealed in our pouch, a closed container or tin as exposure to oxygen can steal its freshness.

What is the difference between White, Green, Black and Oolong Tea?

All tea is processed from the same bush called Camellia Sinensis. White tea is tea made from new growth buds and young leaves of the plant. The leaves are steamed or fried to inactivate oxidation, and then dried. Green Tea is processed by steaming and scalding the tea leaves for several minutes; they are then rolled and dried. Black Teas go through a different process; the tea leaves are not steamed, but are oxidized or fermented and then dried. The fourth type of tea, which is oolong, goes through the same process as black tea, but it is only oxidized for half the time.
