When plucking this tea, not the youngest leaves and the bud are taken, but the Souchong leaf: riper, larger leaves from the lower parts of the tea bushes. After fermentation, these leaves are put on hot iron pans or iron plates and roasted for a short time, and then the tea is smoked over pine woods rich is resin. The smoking time is determined for each type separately (Lapsang Souchong, Tarry Lapsang Souchong or Lapsang Souchong Crocodile). Our LAPSANG SOUCHONG has a large, open, slightly greyish to black leaf with a sharp note of smoke. The taste is smoky and spicy.

Feng Shui has the goal to create harmony between human beings and their surroundings. In order to create Chi (positive, free flowing energy), the perfect balance between oneself and the five elements wood, fire, earth, metal and water has to be achived. According to Feng Shui, the elements are represented by the colours green, red, yellow, silver and blue as well as the forms twined, pointy, flat, round and curly which all represent an ingredient in our herb tea blend, which is rounded off with the balance of natural flavours. Now it is your turn to add the fifth element WATER for your very own experience of harmony!
Yoga tea is the classic among the Ayurvedic tea varieties. In our blend you will find stinging nettle leaves in addition to the classical, spicy ingredients. This is a vitalising warm drink on cold days and pleasant at any time. We recommend the classical preparation or the black tea preparation.

Juicy and slightly tangy apple and pear pieces make our palate jump with joy. The bright, colourful blossoms and fruit pieces in this homogeneous blend are further enhanced by a juicy strawberry flavour.
We were surprised when we first met with this Pu-Erh from Malawi! Produced following traditional methods, yet of African origin, this tea has a somewhat irregular leaf. The taste, however, is all the more impressive, with an unusually soft, mild and yet typically earthy character. The harmonic aftertaste is pleasantly spicy. This product will surely set new standards and is particularly recommendable to Pu-Erh ”beginners”. Let yourself be surprised!
The Hunwal Garden is located in Jorhat, in the Indian State of Assam, south of the river Brahmaputra. The relatively low altitude of about 1,000 m above sea-level, which is atypical of Assam, and the resulting cooler day - and night time temperatures and the inherent slower growth of the plants guarantee very rich, strong qualities. This well-processed tea is from the second plucking period. It is very spicy and strong, with a distinct aftertaste and a malty and harmonious bouquet.
Our East Frisian friends have always used this tea for their traditional "East Frisian Tea" with rock sugar and cream. A finely shaped and roughly broken tea with lots of light-coloured leaf tips. This classical tea with a malty and rich cup, dark infusion and a strong, malty and doughy note leaves no wishes unfulfilled.
The small tea plantations in Nepal are partly still operated by so-called "small holders". These are family businesses without their own production plants. At altitudes of between 1,000 and 2,000 m, aromatic and fine teas are produced mainly from Chinese hybrids. Due to the small growing area, they are unfortunately only available in small quantities. A mild and very aromatic leaf tea with a striking, medium-sized, well-worked leaf with many tips. It is a tea of prime quality, soft and aromatic and with a light, smoky sweetness. The bouquet is round and spicy.
