Whittard 1886 Loose Tea Pouch, 100g

This historical loose leaf blend is inspired by the type of tea enjoyed in Victorian London when Walter Whittard opened his first shop in 1886 We've chosen the strong, rich leaves of the Indonesian Camellia assamica tea bushes, blending the whole leaves with those processed using the CTC (crush, tear, curl) technique, producing a hearty, full-bodied and flavoursome brew CTC was developed in 1930 by Sir William McKercher at the Amgoorie Tea Estate in Assam — a full 44 years after Walter Whittard opened his first shop The blend is inspired by the type of tea enjoyed in 1886, but CTC itself came later Londoners soon acquired a taste for the invigorating new brew and our expertly crafted 1886 blend has a real taste of authenticity moreish and malty, we love it with a splash of milk at breakfast Origin: Indonesia Tea type: Black Number of servings (using 1tsp/ 2g per cup): 100g = 50 cups Ideal for using with: Glass Pao Infuser Mug , Chelsea Glass Teapot with Infuser and Infusers Strainers
