Indian Tea Library
India is renown for some of the most artisan tea gardens in the world yet knowledge
of the top gardens and their most prized pickings rarely reaches the UK.
We would like to present our library of boutique teas, sourced from exceptional tea
gardens in India and the surrounding region. Teas of this calibre have unique tasting
notes and characteristics, reflecting the artisan methods used and the terrain of
each tea garden. We have worked closely with our tea traders and the tea gardens to
change our list regularly with the growing season. Please feel free to ask us for our
recommendations.

Sweet things - Indians are sweet toothed beyond belief and what most in Britain address as desserts i.e. gulab jamuns, russ malai, jalaebis are all sweets and not desserts. any opportunity and the Indian will jump to the conclusion that a box of sweets is necessary. Most Indian sweets are no doubt milk based and of course they are mostly fabulous. If one was to say that there existed approximately five hundred different varieties and many more it would simply be an understatement. there is a sweet for every occasion, every festival, every religious celebration, for births, weddings, a special one even to celebrate getting pregnant, to celebrate the eight month of pregnancy and so on, the list is endless and the excuses just as many and we have not even spoken about the different communities, regions yet. It is no doubt therefore that India remains the world’s largest sugar cane producer and the largest Rum producer too naturally, the largest milk producer in the world and has the largest head of cattle in the world.
