Autumn teas to see you through the season

When the mornings turn crisp and the light goes golden, your tea wants change too. This collection brings together the teas we reach for once September arrives: spiced, roasted, warming, or simply comforting. From the smoky depth of Emperor Butterfly Lapsang Souchong to the toasty calm of Hojicha, and seasonal favourites like Pumpkin Spice and Mulled Wine, there is something here for every autumn mood.

You will find proper chai blends—Jasmine Masala Chai, Vanilla Chai, Decaf Masala Chai—alongside fruity warmers like Spiced Apple and Cranberry Apple Tart. If you prefer something caffeine-free, Rooibos and Liquorice Root offer natural sweetness without keeping you up. Whether you are after bold black teas or gentle herbals, the range covers early mornings, afternoon refills and late-night mugs by the fire.

These teas suit anyone who finds comfort in a proper brew when the weather cools. We hand-pack every order in Yorkshire. Free UK delivery on orders over £35.

How to choose

01

By caffeine level

Need a morning lift? Go for black teas like Russian Caravan or Weaver's Blend. For evenings, pick Rooibos, Liquorice Root or any of the herbal fruit blends—all caffeine-free.

02

By flavour mood

After something spiced? Try Jasmine Masala Chai or Kadha Tonic. Craving fruit and sweetness? Bramble and Blueberry Maple hit the spot. For smoky depth, Lapsang Souchong or Hojicha deliver.

03

With or without milk

Chai blends and malty black teas like Pumpkin Spice take milk beautifully. Fruit herbals and Hojicha are best enjoyed straight, letting the natural flavours come through.

Hojicha: The Roasted Japanese Green Tea That Changes Everything
What makes a tea an autumn tea?

Autumn teas tend to be warming, spiced or roasted. Think chai blends, smoky black teas, and fruit infusions with apple, cinnamon or berry notes. They suit cooler weather and cosy moments.

Are chai teas caffeinated?

Most chai blends here use black tea as a base, so yes, they contain caffeine. Decaf Masala Chai is the exception—it uses decaffeinated black tea so you can enjoy chai any time of day.

Can I drink Rooibos in the evening?

Absolutely. Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free, so it makes a fine choice before bed. It has a gentle sweetness and pairs well with milk if you like.

How do I brew smoky teas like Lapsang Souchong?

Use freshly boiled water and steep for three to four minutes. Smoky teas can become overpowering if left too long, so taste as you go and adjust to your preference.

What is Hojicha?

Hojicha is a Japanese green tea that has been roasted, giving it a nutty, toasty flavour and a reddish-brown colour. It is lower in caffeine than most green teas and very easy to drink.

Do you offer free delivery?

Yes, free UK delivery on orders over £35.

AUTUMN QUESTIONS

Good to know.

Which autumn tea is caffeine-free?

Spiced Apple and several fruit or herbal blends are naturally caffeine-free. Check each product page for the clearest guidance.

Which teas work well with milk?

Chai and fuller black teas are natural choices. Start without milk, taste, then add a small splash to suit you.

What makes Hojicha different?

Hojicha is roasted green tea. The roasting gives it a nutty, toasted character rather than the grassy profile people often expect.
