Proper Devon Teas

Loose leaf tea is one of those things people assume is settled until someone starts paying proper attention to it. Blending by hand in Dawlish, this is a small Devon operation working entirely with organic and ethically sourced leaf, plastic free, and it has picked up a run of awards along the way. Plenty of customers meet them first at an event, taste something, and never quite go back to the supermarket box.

The range covers organic black blends and single estate blacks sourced from China, India and Sri Lanka, from Assam Chardwar TGFOP1 to Darjeeling, Lapsang Souchong, Keemun and Ceylon, plus green and oolong, caffeine free rooibos, nettle, chamomile and mint, wellness blends and organic coffee beans. Look out for Redbreast, a spiced citrus rooibos, and Devon Orchard with apple, chamomile and rosehips. Buy online, or check their stockist list for cafes, tearooms and zero waste shops nearby.
