Petits Fours au Coco | Chocolate & Coconut White Tea

Bare cupboards are searched with the arrival of surprise visitors. Yellow trumpet flowers from neighbouring trees substitute as decoration while a glass pot of tea features as the centrepiece. There’s no cake, however a blend of chocolate and coconut white tea fills the void in the absence of lamingtons. Shining in the sun, all that remains upon departure is the empty pot and a surreal impression of the flowers as they bend and distort through the curves of the glass. The absence of old friends undoubtedly leaves a void, but the leftovers are pleasant enough company within themselves.

Tea is a ritual of quiet attention. Once welcomed into a routine, it provides dependable moments of joyous tranquility via the senses:

Sight: the golden, amber hues of a steeped brew.
Olfactory: the earthy or floral scent of unfurling steam.
Touch: the weight and texture of a perfectly crafted cup.
And of course – the taste.

Each enchanting sensory cue to draws the tea drinker deeper into the present moment. This is why we define tea as sanctuary.

In a world of distractions and glorified hustle, the deliberate act of brewing tea is nothing short of gently radical. Adjusting water temperatures, studying the copper threads as they infuse into the pot, and treasuring the first sip are all small but meaningful acts of rebellion. And like any revolution, at its core is principled intention. Though few rebellions announce themselves in something as delightful as a cup of tea, therein lies its subversive audacity. For this reason, our blends and their accompanying stories are meticulously crafted to enhance tea’s transportive powers and thoroughly envelop the drinker. In essence, tea is neither trend nor commodity. It is a timeless practice with a home in every culture. It is refined over centuries and waits to be discovered – telling its story time, and time again.
