Black teas get their characteristic flavour and colour from a natural oxidation process, which follows initial drying and rolling of the leaves after they have been picked. Tea Palace offers a wide range of single estate black teas including world famous Assams, Darjeelings, Ceylons and a range of bespoke Black Blends.
Blended black tea combines the bold, robust taste of black tea with a variety of added flavours, from fruits and flowers to spices and herbs. These blends are created by infusing black tea leaves with natural ingredients like vanilla, citrus peel, berries, or warming spices like cinnamon and cardamom, resulting in rich, aromatic, and diverse flavour profiles.
Our selection of Earl Grey Blends are perfect for those who want to explore beyond this classic cup of tea. Each blend contains the traditional natural oil of bergamot which gives the tea its renowned citrus flavour.
Green tea is made from unoxidized leaves which are simply heated after picking to destroy the enzymes that cause oxidation. They are then rolled to release their flavour. Green teas are sweet and contain many of the vitamins and antioxidant properties of the fresh green tea leaf, making them highly regarded as a healthy, fragrant and delicious drink.
White tea is a delicate and minimally processed tea made from the young leaves and buds . It is the least oxidized among tea types, resulting in a light, subtle flavour with a slightly sweet, floral taste. White tea is known for its high antioxidant content and lower caffeine levels compared to black and green teas. It typically has a pale yellow or light green color when brewed, and is prized for its smooth, refreshing quality. Popular varieties include Silver Needle and White Peony.
