Revised 14th October 2008 - Correct character
As well as teas, we stock a range of infusions. Typically unblended, our
teas are sourced throughout the world and sometimes are a refreshing
change from those grown in North America. While known often for their
curative properties, these teas present a wonderful spectrum of flavours.
Wildwood (7.00/13.80/27.20)
Reminiscent of a forest in early summer - the sweet taste of strawberry,
tartness of rosehip and the clean aftertaste of mint in a bed of
elderflower and blackcurrant leaves.
Lime Flower (9.00/17.50/34.00)
Grown in Greece and Turkey, lime flower produces a delicately flavoured
drink which should be steeped for up to four minutes.
Lemon Verbena (10.00/19.00/36.00)
From Morocco, large uncut leaves infuse to give a pale yellow, light
bodied drink with characteristic lemon aroma and taste.
Mint (5.40/10.60/20.80)
Aromatic and sharp, mint tea can be the base for a fruit punch, an iced
tea or blend. It has a clean and particularly exhilarating taste.
Peppermint (5.40/10.60/20.80)
A great base to blend with. Sharp and refreshing with the light bodied
taste of menthol. An attractive colour and aroma combine to produce an
excellent flavour with 'pick-me-up' qualities.
Tropical Fruit (6.60/13.00/25.20)
Fruits and flowers combine in a riot of colour. Sweetness from
strawberry, tartness from hibiscus and delicateness from rose petal
result in an infusion with a broad fruity flavour.
Chamomile Flowers (6.00/11.80/23.20)
Allow the full flower to infuse for a minimum of four minutes and enjoy its
comforting and soothing characteristics. Frequently used as
a calmative.
Mate (5.40/10.60/20.80)
Having an astringent, slightly bitter taste, the infusion is high in
caffeine, natural stimulant and vitamin C. Its taste is likened to roasted
leaves, enhanced by fermentation during processing.
Elderflower (7.00/13.50/26.00)
Elderflower cordial is a particularly refreshing drink. Wash a lemon and
peel the rind thinly. Add the lemon rind and sugar to taste to the
elderflower. Pour on boiling water and allow the elderflower to infuse.
Allow the liquid to cool. Strain the tea and drink it diluted with
further water or milk.
Red Raspberrry Leaves (5.60/11.00/21.60)
A wild member of the rose family, rich in minerals and vitamins,
raspberry leaves produce an astringent, yet soothing, infusion.
Rosehip (5.40/10.60/20.80)
Made from the finely crushed hips of the dog rose. Use one teaspoon per
cup, pour on boiling water, cover and leave to stand for five to seven
minutes. Sweeten with honey if necessary or add a slice of lemon to make
a refreshing drink.
Valerian (9.00/17.50/34.00)
Use one teaspoon per cupful of boiling water or as an additive to an
infusion of peppermint, mint or rosehip. Alternatively, use cold water
and allow the valerian root to infuse for a day before drinking. Keep away
from cats..........
