To be on sale at www.harrisonteas.co.uk ( pre orders taken from next week).

Here is my English Breakfast Tea it is a tea that's coppery and bright when infused and bursting with flavor. The blend is a great tea to be enjoyed without milk, but with full tea flavor notes, it tastes equally as nice when served with milk. A traditional leafy blend of high-grown teas from Sri Lanka, Kenya, and Nilgiri, make this drink the perfect breakfast tea to brighten your day.
Production
The tea leaves are plucked from the tea plant (Camellia sinensis).
After plucking, the leaves are withered to reduce their moisture content.
They are then rolled or crushed to release the enzymes.
The leaves are left to oxidize, during which they develop their distinct flavor and color.
Finally, they are dried, sorted, and packaged for shipment, that`s when I come in.
On sale at www.harrisonteas.co.uk from £4.70

Here is a fine tea gift for those who like Green Tea`s
Chunmee Taipan Superior Gift Box
For those of us unfamiliar with the term Taipan, it was the name given to the ex-pat businessmen who plied their trade in China and Hong Kong during the 19th century. The life of a Tai-pan back in those days was often exciting, as undiscovered trade routes were opened, patriotic, as territory was claimed for king and queen and luxurious, as they quickly amassed great fortunes on the frontiers of world commerce. Chunmee Taipan Superior, an exceptionally fine green tea grade was very much a product of this old world.

This tea maker determined that the Taipans and their tastes for the finer things in life must have highly refined palates. So, he knew that his tea would need to be sweetish and smooth. He also surmised, based on their apparent appreciation for Eastern art, that the Taipans must have an eye for beauty. So, he determined that the leaf style would need to be very fine and evenly graded. He also understood that if he priced his new tea too low, the perceived value would likewise be too low. So, he priced his tea high, much higher than the other grades he had on hand. His wife thought he crazy but from the first shipment to Hong Kong, he had a hit on his hands. The Tai-Pan businessmen loved it and quickly added it to their steady diet of Cuban ci**rs, caviar, Cognac and the like.

The days of the old Tai-pan may be over, but this fantastic tea remains. Still manufactured according to the old techniques, this tea has a very fine, emerald leaf that infuses to produce a mild yellow-green liquor. The cup is sweet, with hints of an almost Sencha like clover-butteriness, grassy notes and a long exceptionally smooth finish. An incredible tea with an amazing story to match. Brew a pot and give your Friends the deluxe treatment!

At last here goes with my Christmas Chilly A rich, burgundy, caffeine free infusion that bursts with fruity flavor and has a Reindeer's kick of chilly! Whilst not too hot (Reindeer's don't kick too hard we're told!!) the chilly taste is really good and very satisfying. Whole cloves and Star Anise bring some balancing spicy interest to provide an infusion experience that's different and very enjoyable.
