Ancient Tree Black Tea · 10 × 5g Rounds
£16.25
Malty · Honeyed · Brisk
Ancient Tree Black Tea is a Yunnan black tea made from whole tea leaves gathered from old tea trees in southwest China. Gently pressed into an individual 5g round, this Chinese black tea opens into a clear amber-red infusion with malty depth, honeyed sweetness and soft notes of dried stone fruit and cocoa. Full and rounded on the palate, it finishes clean and brisk rather than harsh, bringing the depth of loose leaf black tea into an effortlessly pre-portioned form.
Each 5g round is individually sealed in a high-barrier pouch to protect the tea leaves from light, humidity and surrounding aromas, preserving their layered fragrance and flavour until you are ready to brew.

Where it Begins
Yunnan, China
In the old forests around Pu’er, leaves from ancient large-leaf trees are picked by hand, then slowly withered, rolled and fully oxidised before being dried at low heat. This patient craft lets the thick, old-tree leaves darken and caramelise gently, creating a deep amber liquor with natural sweetness – layers of dark honey, dried fruit and quiet, lingering spice.
