Zen Zing
Forged in the Himalayas, this is a function-first blend for calm, sharp focus. A high-altitude mix of green tea, Holy Basil and Gotu Kola, crafted for a steady lift that feels clear and centred. Zingy lemongrass and cooling spearmint sharpen the senses, while Himalayan Timur Pepper adds an invigorating hit of mountain electricity.

Steep one bag in freshly boiled water for 5-6 minutes to let the Sichuan peppers work their magic. The tingle develops as it cools slightly. Decadent with milk and honey or banging on its own.

THE ANSWERS TO LIFE’S BIG (TEA) QUESTIONS
-
Most breakfast teas are blended ground leaves from multiple regions, but this is a pure, single-origin black tea. We use whole leaves for fresher, fuller flavour. It’s crafted from a balance of three premium leaf grades (leafy, wiry, and tippy), delivering a malty, rounded flavour with natural sweetness and complexity. You get the boldness of a breakfast tea, without the bitterness or harsh tannins found in some blends.
-
This tea is grown in the misty cloud forests of the Colombian Andes, at 1,800–2,050 metres above sea level. The combination of cool mountain air, rich volcanic soil, and consistent rainfall creates the perfect conditions for a deliciously complex black tea.
-
Unlike most tea regions, which have distinct harvest seasons, Colombia’s high-altitude tropical climate allows for year-round production. This means fresher, more consistent tea with a naturally malty depth and smooth complexity.
-
Malty, smooth, and complex, with natural hints of panela (raw cane sugar), cocoa, and a honeyed depth that lingers after each sip. It has medium body, low astringency, and a long, satisfying finish.
-
Yes, this tea is grown organically in Colombia’s only organic tea garden, where half the land is preserved as rainforest. However, due to some frustrating red tape, we can’t officially call it organic, as our UK packing facility isn’t yet certified. But rest assured, the tea itself is as organic as it gets.
-
Like a classic breakfast tea, it stands up well to milk, enhancing its natural malty richness. But thanks to its smooth, well-balanced profile, it’s also excellent on its own. Maybe keep that quiet though… Hardcore tea connoisseurs would probably hurl cold, soggy used tea bags at us if they heard us promote adding milk.
-
Anyone who enjoys a rich, flavourful black tea with natural depth and a smooth finish. If you want a malty, complex cup that works with or without milk, this is the one.
-
Absolutely. A second steep brings out more of its natural sweetness and smoothness. The first brew is bold and malty, while the second is softer and more rounded. Just extend the steep time to extract the full depth of flavour.
