A sophisticated blend of green, black and oolong teas. Delicate and tropical, this tea pairs the gentle, powdery perfume of lychees with the lactonic flavours of coconut and milk oolong. The result is a lush, elegant tea suited to spring mornings and pleasant summer evenings. Its medium-light body does best without milk, a subtle, fragrant nose rounded out with a silky mouthfeel and lingering sweetness. A subtle tea perfect for afternoon or high tea, best paired with light finger foods.
Great hot and just as good cold, this blend also makes for a delightfully refined iced tea, and a unique base for cocktails or mocktails. Perhaps with a splash of coconut milk.
Light and crisp but uncommonly rich with creamy notes that linger in the aftertaste. It opens with a slightly tropical fruity flavour, and with sweet, floral lychee. Coconut builds with each sip, leaving a creamy mouthfeel.
Ingredients: black tea (Keemun, Ceylon), oolong tea (Milk Oolong), green tea (Maofeng), coconut pieces, lychee pieces, pink cornflower, natural and artificial flavouring
Allergen Warning: Contains dairy and coconut.

Steeping the Best (Guide)
Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea
While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags are milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.
- Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
- Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes
General Steeping Temperatures
The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.
Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.
If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
