a bud, and
nothing else.

Four blends.
One standard.
Every tin holds 25 whole-leaf tea discs — blended, pressed and packed at origin. $14.99 each.
First Flush
The year's most delicate pick
Second Flush
Fuller body, muscatel depth

Bold leaves, rain-fed strength
Autumnal Flush
Round, mellow, layered
The tea bag,
redesigned.
Most tea bags hide staples, strings, glue and bleached paper. Ours hide nothing — whole-leaf tea pressed into a disc of natural, non-chlorinated filter paper. Drop it in, steep, compost.
Other tea bags
- Staples & strings
- Glue & additives
- Bleached, chlorinated
- Non-biodegradable
Our tea discs
- Nothing but tea
- Natural filter paper
- Non-chlorinated
- 100% biodegradable
Sixteen hours,
entirely by hand.
Our teas are made the Orthodox way — the traditional six-step craft that trades shortcuts for flavour, perfected in Darjeeling over two centuries.
Plucking
The top two leaves and a new bud, picked by hand at each of the four flushes.
Withering
Warm air drawn through the fresh leaves for ten hours, softening them for the roll.
Rolling
Leaves rolled between flat surfaces, waking the enzymes that build flavour.
Fermenting
Up to four hours in a climate-controlled room — the stage that defines the cup.
Drying
A hot, brief bake halts fermentation and locks the profile in place.
Sorting
Graded leaf by leaf through mesh sieves — only the finest reach the disc press.
The trio,
$44.97.
