DESCRIPTION

Start Me Up is a full-bodied breakfast blend: Ceylon and Assam black tea meet the delicate notes of white tea and a touch of rose petals. It’s malty and smooth, with light floral notes, and just as good with a dash of milk as it is on its own.

Put the kettle on, take the first few minutes for yourself, and begin the day on your own terms.

The moment
Mornings rarely wait for you. The alarm, the inbox, the list, the rush out the door.

Start Me Up is made for the first few minutes, before any of it. Take your cup to a quiet corner, or stand at the window while it brews. By the last sip, the day has begun on your terms.

INGREDIENTS

This blend is carefully crafted to kick-start your day. Our Start Me Up Tea Blend combines the bold and rich flavours of Ceylon and Assam Black Tea with the delicate notes of White Tea and rose petals.

BREWING GUIDE

Use one heaped teaspoon of Start Me Up per cup (250ml), or one tea bag. Pour over freshly boiled water and steep for 3 to 5 minutes: nearer 3 for a lighter cup, nearer 5 for a stronger one. Strain, and add a dash of milk if you like.

FEATURED INGREDIENTS

Black tea gives Start Me Up its backbone. Ceylon and Assam sit at the heart of the blend.

  • Assam: a robust black tea from north-east India, known for its malty depth.
  • Ceylon: black tea from Sri Lanka, bright and crisp.
  • White tea: delicate and soft.
  • Rose petals: floral and fragrant.

In the cup

Malty, smooth and full-bodied, with light floral notes. Assam brings the malty depth, Ceylon adds a bright, crisp edge, white tea adds delicate notes, and rose petals bring a gentle floral aroma. Lovely on its own, and it holds up to a dash of milk.

A small ritual

While the kettle heats, open a window or step outside for a minute. Brew one heaped teaspoon for three to five minutes, then take your cup somewhere quiet and drink it before the day asks anything of you.
