FRUIT AND FLORAL PREMIUM RANGE

- 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
- Gyokuro, Shizuoka, Japan
- Gyokuro is shaded for 30-days before picking, in early May in Asahina valley tea gardens. This process encourages chlorophyll, creating a thick and creamy texture, and the condensed, unami-rich flavour that this is prized for.
- WHITE TEA
- Silver needle supreme, Fujian, China
- An authentic silver Chinese white tea from its true home in Fuding, Fujian- where tea has been cultivated for millennia. Extremely delicate, it takes a true master to render a flawless example, skilfully manipulating conditions to prevent moisture or heat. This supreme tea comes from a single garden and clearly expresses the distinct melon and cucumber notes that Fujianese silver needle is revered for, finishing on a luxuriously velvety note.
