Our Teas
100% Scottish grown
The Gathering
Our first tea, launched in 2021. A collaboration between members, where the fresh leaf is picked on the same day at the individual tea gardens and then gathered together to be processed at the Scottish tea factory in central Scotland.
Notes of caramel, wood and honeysuckle. 100% black tea.
The Blackhouse
Our second tea, launched in 2022. Pan roasted to bring out aromas of toasted nuts and earthy sweetness. A tea for the colder months and reminiscent of a Japanese hojicha.
Notes of cinder toffee, roasted chestnuts and dark chocolate. 100% black tea.
