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.

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.
