A stong full bodied tea with good flavour, this second flush golden-tipped black tea is from tea gardens in Assam.
Also available in our pyramid bag range.
Type: Black tea - contains caffeine.
Ingredients: Black Tea STGFOP1s. Second Flush.
Brewing: 3-4 minutes at approx. 100°C
Bought this tea tea for the first time recently. Robust flavour which suits my taste. I think it could become my favourite.
Prompt service, no plastic and great teas make this a great company to buy from.
I bought this as a treat for myself when ordering some Peppermint for my daughter. It really is delicious - fresh, bright and full of flavour. It is so good that I do that rare thing, sit and drink my tea without doing anything else other than savouring the complex flavours in the tea. Just delicious
Honestly the best loose leaf tea we've ever tasted. We spent ages trying to find a decent and strong enough loose leaf tea in plastic-free packaging, this ticks both boxes perfectly. No need to ever go tea shopping anywhere else now. Pre-Covid days, visiting friends and neighbours all commented how fantastic the tea is too. Delivery always super fast too and love the upbeat emails from John at Shibui too!
excellent loose tea
excellent delivery received within 24 hours of order
The table below shows the approximate brewing/infusing times for the different tea types.
It assumes around a 2.5 to 3g serving but it is not an exact science so experiment to find the perfect brew time to suit you.
It is best to use freshly boiled water - so if you've got some water left in your kettle from before - pour it out and start again!
| Tea Type | Approx Brewing Time (mins) | Water Temperature |
|---|---|---|
| Black | 3-4 minutes | 100°C |
| Green | 3-4 minutes | 80°C |
| Oolong | 3-4 minutes | 100°C |
| Pu-erh | 3-4 minutes | 100°C |
| White | 2-3 minutes | 70-80°C |
| Herbal | 5+ minutes | 100°C |
| Rooibos | 5+ minutes | 100°C |
| Fruit | 5+ minutes | 100°C |
| Flowering | 3-4 minutes | 80°C |
If you don't have a fancy kettle which heats the water to different temperatures then a tip to for brewing green & white teas is to put the boiling water into the teapot or mug first and then add the tea. It will have cooled down a bit just by touching the cold teapot. That's what I do anyway...

English breakfast and earl grey teas (both decaf) give me the perfect start, middle and end of every day. Used leave go straight into the compost heap so no more irksome teabags in next years mulch! Thanks for great tea and a great service.
A few tries to get the perfect brew but well worth it. Tea is excellent
Excellent value. The taste is absolutely fabuous and the service is excellent.
