The story
A small gift with a bit of theatre
These are green tea leaves pressed into neat little heart shapes in Yunnan Province, one of China's oldest tea-growing regions. The high elevations and misty climate there create good conditions for flavourful green tea. Each heart is crafted in small batches, keeping the leaves whole so they can open properly when you brew them.
Drop a heart into a glass or clear teapot and pour over hot water. The leaves slowly unfurl, releasing a clean, fresh flavour with a smooth finish. Brewed carefully at the right temperature, there is no bitterness, just a gentle, refined cup that feels a bit more special than your everyday green.
They make a lovely small gift: something a bit different to unwrap, with a little show when you brew it. Perfect tucked into a card, added to a hamper, or given on their own to someone who would appreciate a quiet cup with some thought behind it.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
How many hearts are in a 50g pouch?
Each heart weighs around 4–5g, so a 50g pouch gives you roughly 10–12 hearts. Enough for a good few brews or a couple of small gifts.
Does Heart Warmer contain caffeine?
Yes, it contains natural caffeine, though less than black tea. It is a green tea, so best enjoyed earlier in the day if you are sensitive to caffeine.
Should I add milk?
No, this one is best without. Milk would mask the delicate, fresh flavour. Let it stand on its own.
How should I store it?
Keep the pouch sealed, somewhere cool and dry, away from sunlight and strong aromas. It will stay fresh for months stored properly.
Can I re-steep the same heart?
Yes, you can get a good second cup from the same heart. Just add a minute or so to the brew time.
