Classic green tea

Smooth, delicate and light chun mee green tea that is full of flavour without any nasty bitterness. One of the most commonly drunk green teas in China – it’s classic ‘eyebrow’ shape and style is a favourite for it’s delicate flavour and light liquor. Brewed at the correct temperature, this tea will never taste bitter and should have a slightly sweet character.

Heat freshly drawn water to about 80 degrees centigrade, infuse for up to three minutes and drink without milk.

Special Oolong

Half-way between a green tea and a black tea – smooth and creamy with delicate hints of peach. (Semi-oxidised Chinese Oolong Ti Guan Yin Fancy)

Otherwise known as “Iron Goddess of Mercy” this oolong tea is one of the best examples of a semi-oxidised tea.  It’s half-way between a green tea and a black tea and retains all the best attributes of both – without the astringency of a green tea and the high tannins of a black tea.  Well worth a try!

Heat freshly drawn water to about 80 degrees centigrade, infuse for up to three minutes and drink without milk.

Spicy Chai (teapod blend)

teapod’s take on the Indian classic – the rich and spicy tea that needs a hint of sugar to bring out the smooth flavour. (Indian Assam black tea, Sri Lankan Uva black tea, Ginger root, Cinnamon, Cardamom seeds and red peppercorns)

Traditionally drunk in parts of India and Nepal, Masala Chai (literally ‘Spice Tea’) is a combination of black tea, spices, milk and plenty of sugar. Often brewed in a big vat on a stove, each family would have their own secret recipe – and at teapod, we’ve created our own!
