Black tea is thought to have been developed during the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644). It is the most oxidised of all the tea types and generally has a stronger flavour than other teas. We stock black teas from China, India, Sri Lanka and Malawi. Most black tea is made from fully oxidised green tea leaves.

Our Earl Grey is based on Chinese Black Tea. The tea gets its unusual flavor from oil of Bergamot, which is extracted from the rind of the small acidic Bergamot orange (Citrus bergamia).
Earl Grey tea was named after Charles Grey, the second earl in his line. He was Prime Minister to King William IV in the early 19th century. It is said that the Earl was given the recipe by a Chinese mandarin with whom he was friends, and whose life he had saved.

Gopaldhara Red Thunder Gold tea is picked during the autumn flush from the Gopaldhara Estate. During autumn when the temperatures are beginning to fall, the tea leaves are unable to stand the cold and the leaves begin to wilt. The tea leaf cell undergoes a fermentation process at a very slow rate which produces a bold, unique flavour. Only the finest leaves can be harvested in this way and when infused Red Thunder Gold is a premium version the famous Red Thunder and contains a high concentration of tips giving it a smoother and sweeter flavour.
This tea is strictly limited edition with only twenty 30g bags availble to our online customers.

2016 Harvest
Kinnettles Gold is a unique, brand-new Scottish grown single estate tea. This distinctly flavoured tea is grown and hand-rolled on Kinnettles Farm in Angus by Susie Walker-Munro.
Only 2kg of the tea were produced in 2015, which were exclusively available from PekoeTea in limited-edition 20g tins and 5g samples. The next harvest in October 2016 only produced 1.5kg- This is currently on sale now.
Kinnettles Gold tea has been processed using secret techniques, specially-developed for the Scottish climate with the help of tea consultant Beverly-Claire Wainwright, who has worked on producing the exquisite teas from Amba estate in Sri Lanka. Beverly’s philosophy is to match processing methods to suit the terroir, rather than copying methods from other countries.
As Scotland’s terroir is unique, Beverly and Susie have created unique processing methods to ensure the tea lives up to its full taste potential.
True to its name, the hand-rolled, golden tipped leaves infuse to a rich golden liquor.

Lapsang Souchong is a black tea originally from the Wuyi region of the Chinese province of Fujian. It is sometimes referred to as smoked tea. Lapsang is distinct from all other types of tea because lapsang leaves are traditionally smoke-dried over pinewood fires which produces the distinctive smoky flavour.
Our Lapsang is hand processed using the best tea leaves and wood for smoking.

Rohini Jethi Kupi is a first flush Darjeeling tea from the 2017 harvest. In Nepalese dialect "Jethi" translates to eldest daughter and "Kupi" translates to a funnel or cone. Rohini Jethi Kupi is therefore a very early harvest first flush darjeeling - harvested in February. When infused this exceptional first flush darjeeling turns a golden amber and has an aroma full of floral notes. The flavour of Rohini Jethi Kupi is sweet and fruity and has a full bodied, lingering aftertaste.
We are delighted to be able to offer this tea so early in the year.
