TEA LIBRARY

BLACK TEAS

Brown’s Breakfast Blend
A comforting & full breakfast classic, with rich malty sweetness & vivid ruby coloured infusion.
Brown’s Afternoon Blend
Balanced & full: lots of light, graceful & complex top notes followed by a pungent, malty finish. Refreshing & fortifying.
Assam Gold, Assam, India
Balanced, deep & harmonious flavours combining subtle red fruits, fired leaf & toasted grains.
Darjeeling 2nd Flush, Okayti Estate, Darjeeling, India
Sprightly, lively, sappy & refreshing, with an enticing combination of fresh grass, plant sap & woodland earth.
Chai, India
Rich, rounded & warming flavours, combining the soft, gratifying complexities of ceylon black tea with aromatic spices.
Earl Grey, Sri Lanka
Refreshing & sweet, with lifted citrus charm freshening the structured tenacity of the ceylon leaf. A perfectly focused classic.
Ceylon, Sri Lanka
A rich, soft & full tea, with a gentle yet textured profile. The taste is long & satisfying with an almost creamy wealth to it.
Cornish Grown Tea
The first tea grown in England. Tregothnan’s tea is handpicked on their estate in Cornwall & is the perfect morning brew. A consistent & awakening blend of exclusive hand-picked Tregothnan leaves with the finest assam, it is simply delicious with a bold, malty & full-bodied flavour.

OOLONG TEA

GREEN TEAS

Dragon Well Green Tea, Zhejiang, China
China's most famous green tea, Jing's Dragon Well has lively & garden-fresh flavours underscored by silky hazelnut & liquorice root complexity.
Jasmine Pearls, Fujian, China
Velvety, full & enticing green tea leaf lift by fresh & heady jasmine aroma. The taste is sumptuous, round & deeply jasmine infused.

WHITE TEA

HERBAL INFUSIONS

Whole Camomile Flowers
Bright, full, mellow, floral depths with soft, refreshingly bitter vegetal complexities in the finish. Sweet yet austere - the definitive camomile combination.
Whole Peppermint Leaf
Insistent, deep & full mint flavours with an almost oily mid-palate, subsiding cleanly towards an intensely perfumed finish.
Lemongrass and Ginger
Deeply aromatic with warming spices and highly refreshing, bright citrus notes.
Blackcurrant & Hibiscus Fruit Infusion
Vivid, intense & lively, with a rich spectrum of berry fruits, bright supporting acidity & a sweet, perfumed finish. Refreshing, even bracing & full of charm.
We also offer fresh mint, fresh ginger, along with a Silver needle & Rosebuds blend.

FRUIT AND FLORAL PREMIUM RANGE

Pineapple and Osmanthus
Instantly fragrant, bursting with tropical pineapple aroma and delicate, floral notes from whole heads of chamomile and Osmanthus-flower prized in Asia for its natural scent of ripe fruit. Together, they create a deliciously thick, yellow infusion that feels syrupy in the mouth. Smoothed with soft chamomile and honeyed in character, for lasting juicy finish.
Strawberry and Rooibos
The sugared-scent of natural strawberry pieces and uplifting elderflower fragrance gives you away to a ruby-red infusion that offers warming comfort in the depths of a rich, rooibos undercurrent. Smooth, sweet and velvety in the mouth, it finishes with a lingering, rounded softness.
Raspberry and Rose
The subtle perfume of whole rosebuds is imbued with the tart fragrance of real raspberry pieces and the ripe, fruity aroma of Osmanthus flowers. This soft pink infusion feels jammy on the plate and is complemented by the gently sour character of rosehip shells, delivering complexity and an elegant delicately floral finish.
Green Apple and Hibiscus
Whole pieces of crisp green apple, hibiscus petals and lengths of spicy lemongrass reveal a zesty aroma and yield a beautifully pink infusion. Vibrant with a fruit acidity that feels quenching yet balanced in the mouth,m touch of pineapple finishes blend, all together delivering a grassy-sweet and tart finish.

SEASONAL TEA LIBRARY

Designed for those who seek out the highest quality, Brown's Seasonal Library is the Chinese tea ceremony of Gong Fu. This places the taste and appreciation of the tea itself above all else.
Using a small volume teapot over multiple infusions allows for the ultimate engagement, the small pitcher is there to decant your tea between infusions, ensuring a perfectly balanced cup & allowing your leaves to breathe before the next infusion.
BLACK TEA
Red Dragon, Yunnan, China
Red Dragon is a unique and exceptional tea, processed by masters in Yunnan as a black tea using a tea cultivar traditionally used for oolong tea and grown at high attitude. The result is a syrupy texture as a result of the cultivar, fruity notes as a result of the rich Yunnan terroir which it is nourished, and malty depths from masterful processing.
GREEN TEA
Shimen Green Mountain, Hunan, China
Found in the organic, biodiverse gardens at elevation of over 1,000m on the Wuling mountain range, our Shimen Green is highly prized at origin and is rarely found outside of China. The tea master Mr Li only picks the best dry buds, resulting in beautifully downy tips on the dry leaf. Known in Chinese as 'Yinfeng' this means 'silver' and 'peak' much like the shape of the leaf.
YELLOW TEA
Jun Shan Silver Needle
Individual, hand-picked buds from Jun Shan island in China’s Hunan province. Ripe flavours of mellow autumn fruit & a very long, waxy, more-ish finish. Sourced from a one kilometre squared island, this is China’s most authentic and celebrated yellow tea.
A supplement of £5 with your afternoon tea.
