How we brew
Four habits for a better pot.
Warm the pot
Swirl hot water in the pot first, then pour it away. Cold porcelain steals heat from the tea.
Mind the water
Lagos tap water is hard. Filtered water makes greens and whites taste much cleaner.
Measure the leaf
One heaped teaspoon per cup, plus one for the pot if you like it strong.
Store it dark
Keep tins away from the kitchen window and the humidity. Most teas stay fresh for six months.

Do you run tastings?
Yes, a monthly tea tasting evening for twelve people. See classes.
Is hibiscus tea the same as zobo?
It is the same flower. Our blend is lighter, with less sugar and no pineapple, so it suits a hot pot.
