Measure 1 teaspoon per cup, and one for the pot.
Pour in water just off the boil.
Steep 3–5 minutes — three for a smooth companion, five for bold authority.

Black tea

Ethically sourced and produced.
PACKED IN AUSTRALIA
from imported ingredients.

With Assam lending strength, Ceylon bringing brightness, and Indonesian leaf its velvet depth, the cup gleams a rich red-brown. The flavour is bold but rounded, full-bodied Irish Breakfast without bite.

Taken with milk, it becomes smooth and steadying; clear, it remains poised and fortifying — a companion made for the mid-morning pause.

More to Tempt You

A Most Necessary Elevenses

“A bold companion for the stolen mid-morning pause.”


With Assam for strength, Ceylon for brightness, and Indonesian leaf for depth, this Irish Breakfast blend gathers its Celtic cousins into one bold, velvety cup. The liquor shines a reddish-brown, carrying warmth without edge — steady, smooth, and companionable. It is a tea that greets with authority but stays to linger, perfectly attuned to sweet or savoury company.

Brewed with vigour, it becomes fortifying and strong; taken lighter, it remains balanced and easy. This is the tea for the in-between hours — that most Hobbit-like of pauses, when another cup feels not indulgence, but inevitability. Elevenses is less a moment on the clock than a ritual in itself — a daily invitation to step aside, sip deeply, and return restored.
