Tea + Coffee
The Two Cups A Year You Actually Think About.
Tea is the drink you make three hundred times a year and consider roughly twice. This collection is for the other two. Whole leaf, single estate and blended, from independent brands who pack it themselves rather than buying in someone else's blend and putting a label on it. Coffee sits here too, from roasters working at the same scale and with the same fussiness.
Black, Green And Herbal
Masala chai and Darjeeling white pearl at one end, whole leaf peppermint green and smoky blacks at the other, with spiced apple and cinnamon somewhere in between. Caffeine-free blends run to rose and cardamom, blueberry and lavender, and traditional Indian botanicals. Between them that covers the morning, most of the afternoon and the part of the evening when caffeine stops being a good idea.
And The Apparatus
Infusers, a silicone steeper and a double walled cup and saucer, for anyone who has decided to take this seriously. More in Kitchen + Dining and Glasses, Cups + Mugs. Gift boxes remain the safest present in the building, on the grounds that everybody drinks one or the other and nobody minds getting more, so see Gifts, or Chocolate + Sweets for something to go alongside.
Worth Knowing
Brands set their own steeping times and temperatures, and the good ones are fussy about it for a reason, so the packet is worth reading. New brands arrive regularly, so look at New Arrivals or the full Food Hall.
