Recipes
Iced teas, tea-infused bakes, cocktails and food pairings to make with the leaves in your cupboard.
Tea is a wonderful ingredient as well as a drink. Once you start thinking of it that way, a cupboard of loose-leaf becomes a whole pantry of flavours to cook, bake, chill and mix with. This section is full of ideas for doing exactly that – from iced matcha lattes and cold-brew tisanes for warm afternoons to matcha bakes, tea-smoked dishes, whisky-and-tea cocktails, and simple food pairings that make an ordinary cup feel considered.
What ties it together is that every recipe is built around teas we actually stock. There's nothing worse than finding a recipe that calls for an ingredient you can't get, so we've kept ours grounded in the leaves on our shelves – meaning you can recreate them at home with the same tea we used, and swap in others once you've got the method. We explain why a particular tea suits a particular dish, too, so you can start improvising your own combinations with confidence.
You'll find recipes for every season: refreshing iced brews and tea-based spritzes in summer, warming spiced infusions and bakes as the year turns. Some are quick weekday treats; others are made for sharing when people come round. Browse by season, by tea type, or simply by what sounds good right now. And if you make one of them, we'd genuinely love to hear how it went – the best variations we've published started as a suggestion from someone brewing at home.
