One of the finest oolongs…

Da Hong Pao – also known as Big Red Robe is one of the finest Oolong teas from China.  It is a rare tea which makes it incredibly special.  Moreover, it is grown within the UNESCO world heritage site of the Wuyi Mountains – within the Wuyishan reserve.  You will also hear Da Hong Pao referred to as ‘rock tea’ because of the high mountain rock beneath the soil.  This enriches the soil in a unique way.

The liquor of Big Red Robe is a dark amber/ oaky colour, yet the flavour profile boasts a light character with a slightly sweet and smooth taste.  The rounded, earthy notes balance this brew to perfection.

This tea can be re-infused multiple times!

Pause, Rebalance & Thrive.

Our mission is to empower you to pause and rebalance whilst sipping ethically sourced, highest quality tea. Our 3 step ‘tea in mind’ process fuses our knowledge of tea with our love for self-care & philosophy by suggesting a series of tea routines.

Sustainabili-tea

Our tea is carefully curated and ethically sourced from the highest quality tea gardens all over the world. The packaging is also created with care to ensure we do our part to look after nature’s wonders.

Our loose leaf & tea bag cartons are 100% plastic free; they are crafted from recyclable cardboard and the inner bag is Natureflex, a biodegradable film created using wood pulp!

Our new 20g & 100g steel tins are designed to be reused again and again, and you can decant your leaf tea straight in.

We are committed to removing the very last of the plastic from our tea range. Our next big packaging change will be sourcing a fully sustainable bag for our 250g loose leaf & 45 tea bags, for now they are a high grade recyclable plastic so please reuse & recycle them responsibly.

By switching to loose leaf tea you’re not only saving the planet from more packaging but you’re getting a great cup of tea.  If you’re new to loose leaf tea, fear not.  We have 100% plastic-free self-fill teabags with drawstrings for you to create your brew.

We think the best way to enjoy it is with an Infuser Mug or an Infuser Teapot like our colourful eteaket teapots. Other handy tools include the Perfect Tea Measure Spoon and a Tea Timer.
