We like to wake up and start the day with a trip to the kettle; it's part of our routine but it also gives a boost to start the day with. Lots of our teas have added health benefits which could be the reason you choose them or a happy coincidence.   

The origins of tea is heavily influenced by both ceremony and medical remedies; with herbal treatments being the starting point for many modern medicines. We wanted to explain in a little more about the healthy side to some of our in-fusions.

Matcha is a ground green tea that helps to safely cleanse and purge the body of harmful elements. Chlorophyll which gives green tea and other plants their signature colour is also a powerful detoxifier, helping to eliminate both chemicals and heavy metals from the body. Matcha is substantially richer in chlorophyll than other green teas, making it a superior daily detox.

One of the most unexpected health benefits of matcha is that drinkers experience a boost of energy throughout the day. It isn't due to caffeine but the natural properties of the tea giving physical endurance.
