Quality for you.

Breads, pastries, savories and teas are crafted the slow way and in small numbers, so what reaches your door still carries the warmth of the hands that made it.

Five minutes, properly spent

Good tea asks very little of you — only water at the right temperature, and your patience while the leaves unfurl.

Warm the pot

Rinse your teapot with hot water and pour it away. A warm vessel keeps the steep steady.

Measure generously

One heaped teaspoon per cup, and one more "for the pot" — the old rule still holds.

Mind the water

Boiling for black, 80° for green, 90° for oolong. Each tin carries its own instruction card.

Steep, then stop

Set the timer, pour every drop, and steep again. Our oolongs give five infusions or more.

"We taste over four hundred lots a season and bottle fewer than thirty. The teapot on our label is the one our founder carried from Canton — it has never stopped steeping."
Eleanor Whitmore, Head Blender
