The range here covers serious ground. You will find classic Japanese Sencha alongside floral Jasmine Dragon Pearls, creamy Quanzhou Milk Oolong and aromatic Earl Grey variations like Cream Earl Grey and Zesty Earl Grey. Indian single-origins such as Bukhial Assam TGFOP and Margaret's Hope Darjeeling 2nd Flush TGFOP sit next to rare picks like Badaling Yellow Tea and Blue Spring Oolong.

Read each product’s tasting notes, ingredients and brewing directions. Caffeine varies with the tea, amount used and preparation.

How to choose

01

Match Strength to Time of Day

Compare floral Jasmine Green, creamy Quanzhou Milk Oolong and citrusy Earl Grey blends by flavour. Check caffeine information separately on each product page.

02

Consider Flavour Style

Floral notes come through in Jasmine Green and Oriental Beauty Oolong. For something creamy, try Quanzhou Milk Oolong. If citrus is your thing, Zesty Earl Grey or Pearl Grey deliver bergamot without high caffeine.

03

Decide on Milk or Not

Most oolongs and greens here drink best without milk. Black teas like Bukhial Assam and Cream Earl Grey take a splash nicely if that is your preference.

How much caffeine is in this selection?

There is no verified numerical caffeine range for this collection. Content varies with the product, leaf quantity and preparation; check individual product information.

How do I choose when to drink these teas?

These teas contain caffeine. Use the product-specific information and your own preferences when choosing; a category label cannot guarantee an individual response.

Do green teas have less caffeine than black teas?

Not necessarily. Caffeine varies with the leaf and preparation, so green or black colour alone does not establish a ranking.

Which teas work with milk?

Black teas such as Bukhial Assam, Cream Earl Grey and Lumbini Ceylon take milk well. Oolongs and greens are generally best enjoyed plain to appreciate their subtler flavours.

How should I brew this selection?

Follow the individual product’s amount, temperature and steeping time. Black, green, white, oolong, yellow and pu-erh styles need different preparation.
