Camellia's Tea House

Tea Selection

• Darjeeling Goomtee, 2nd Flush

  Goomtee is ranked among the top gardens in the Darjeeling district, India and produces luscious green leaves with hues ranging from oaky-brown to light green. This tea offers a deliciously smooth and refreshing cup with distinctive muscatel characteristics. South Kurseong, North East India

• Afternoon Tea

  Also known as the 'High Noon' tea, it has a particularly lovely aromatic, flowery taste. This tea is blended with long leaves from Darjeeling and Ceylon and is ideal with scones and cakes. Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka

• Lapsang Souchong

  The tea leaves are put through several stages of preparation which culminates in the leaves being hung in baskets over smoking pine wood fires to dry. The leaves consequently become intensely black and have a distinctly smoky aroma. Fujian, South East China

• Rose Tea

  Also known as Mei Gui Hong Cha, this Rose Tea is considered to be one of the classic scented Chinese teas. During its production, the tea leaves are layered with rose petals and left to absorb the elegant flowery aroma. The final result is a medium bodied black tea, marked by a floral sweetness not unlike champagne. Anhui, South East China

• Christmas Tea

  A captivating and luxurious blend of the fruits and spices of Christmas. A creamy infusion with sweet vanilla and zesty highlights underpinned by a myriad of exotic spices. Anhui, China

• Japanese Sencha

  Sencha, which means 'steamed tea', is by far the most popular tea in Japan. It has a tender and sweetish note, which will appeal to everyone's taste! Japan

• Cherry Blossom

  This is a delicious Japanese green tea which is blended with peony flower petals, rose petals and cherries to produce a beautifully balanced tea with a distinctive cherry undertone. Japan

• Green Mint

This Gold Taste Award winning tea offers a bold and stimulating, but well-balanced cup which will awaken all your senses. Zhejiang, South East China

Black Teas

• Assam Bargang

  The leaves are broken with tippy heads, which helps to give it a strong and creamy infusion, which is perfect for those looking for a more powerful Assam brew. Sonipur, Northern India

• Ceylon Decaffeinated

  A full bodied Ceylon black tea with spicy undertones, which has retained its character by a flavour protecting CO2 decaffeinating method. This tea is ideal for those who want to limit caffeine in their diet or to enjoy a delicious cup of tea at night without disrupting sleep. (NB contains traces of caffeine) Kandy, Sri Lanka

White Teas

• Bai Mu Dan

  Also known as White Peony, this Chinese white tea is well-known for its delicate and refreshing flavour. The multi-coloured leaves, ranging from faint green to pale brown, create a clear, light yellow cup with a pleasantly sweet aroma and smooth, mellow flavour with a hint of spiciness and even a touch of nuttiness. A definite favourite among white tea connoisseurs. Fujian, China
