Description

Vanilla Black Tea

The time of the morning alarm has not been changed, yet the sun is unforgivably absent. A reluctant cotton scarf, light cardigan and piping hot tea might be a necessary fixture henceforth to beat the morning cold. Warm and bright, this vanilla black tea can coax Brisbanites from their beds on those vicious winter days which dip below 20℃. Alternatively, it will enliven and refresh for the remaining 11½ months of the year.

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.
