Perfume and mood, drinking and seasons, time and flavours, the most precious teas in the world are worthless if they do not suit your palate. Full-bodied, light, smoked or scented – there is a tea for each hour of the day and night. It is up to you to choose, depending on the time and mood.
Breakfast
If you like plain tea, choose a full-bodied blend such as Breakfast Royal, unless you prefer a lighter tea such as Darjeeling.
If you like a dash of milk, you may prefer a racy Assam such as the Greenwood.
For those who eat a hearty breakfast with eggs, cheese or cooked meats, we recommend a lightly or strongly smoked China tea, such as the China Imperial Gold.. |

If you are organising a brunch (a late breakfast which is more like a full meal) among family or friends, you can provide a selection of teas to suit individual tastes. |

Tea timeTea-time opens up the widest selection of teas: with the exception of the most full-bodied, all teas are ideal for this moment in the day. |

Some people prefer a Darjeeling or green tea to go with a cake or biscuit, whereas others opt for a scented tea with notes of citrus or other fruit, such as Blue Mountain. |

For those who wish to take a typically Indian break, add a slice of untreated orange to your tea. Unlike lemon which destroys the flavour of the tea, orange brings out the flavour, as shown by our famous Pouchkine tea. |

Or you could choose a rooibos (red bush) such as the Rooibos Muffin, just like a bilberry cake in a cup, or the less sweet Rooibos Jardin Rouge scented with flowers, strawberry, vanilla and grapefruit. |

Not to mention teas such as the sweetly orange scented “Une journée à la campagne” (a day in the country), the raspberry, jasmine orange and Ylang-Ylang scented “Parlez-moi d’amour” (speak to me of love ) and the aptly named “Jour de Fête” (party day) with its combination of fruit, flowers and spices)... |
