Espresso Elements House Teas
- Loose Leaf Breakfast Tea
A strong and rich malty blend with a high percentage of fine leaf tea for fast infusion. This robust tea is designed to go well with milk and sugar, in a style traditionally associated with a hearty English Breakfast.
- Loose Leaf Earl Grey Tea
Fine black tea scented with natural bergamot oil which gives a distinctive and refreshing light citrus flavour. Bergamot oil is extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange, a fragrant citrus fruit. Earl Grey blends are named after Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, British Prime Minister in the 1830’s who apparently received tea flavoured with bergamot as a gift. Try with fresh lemon or a touch of honey.
- Loose Leaf Gunpowder Green Tea
Gunpowder green is a form of green Chinese tea produced in Zhejiang Province of China. The tightly rolled balls of tea resemble pellets of gunpowder which open up in hot water to give a strong green-copper liquor with a slightly bitter flavour. Rolling the leaves makes the leaves less susceptible to damage and allows them to retain more of their flavor and aroma. Serve with fresh mint for a Moorish touch.
- Loose Leaf Peppermint Tea
Peppermint tea is prepared from dried leaves of the peppermint plant. Some believe peppermint tea has healing effects as a result of the menthol it contains. Because it has a calming and numbing effect, it has been used to treat headaches, skin irritations, anxiety, nausea, diarrhea, menstrual cramps and flatulence. It is also widely used to treat symptoms of the common cold. Pure peppermint tea is naturally caffeine-free.
- Loose Leaf Chamomile Tea
Chamomile is one of the oldest garden herbs, whose reputation as a medicinal plant shows little signs of abatement. The flowers of the herb infused in hot water make a soothing tea with soporific effect. However, it has been used through the ages for its many other medicinal qualities, such as anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties. As a tisane (herbal tea), it is naturally caffeine-free. If you have yet to try it, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by its superior flavor.
