Why Teerau
Tea worth slowing down for
We buy in small lots, directly from gardens we know — by the harvest, not the warehouse. Each tea is tasted before it earns a place in the caddy.
Everything is sealed in small batches so it reaches you bright and aromatic, the way the grower intended.

Delicate & fresh
Green tea is shy of boiling water. Keep it cool and quick, and it rewards you with sweetness and clarity instead of bitterness.

Black tea wants hot water and a few minutes' patience. Brewed properly it is malty and bright — a second, longer infusion is often sweeter still.

Forgiving & aromatic
Herbal infusions have no leaf to scorch, so let them go. Boiling water and a long steep draw out colour, body and aroma without any bitterness.
