Loose powder in a pouch, about 33 cups

Malt and cane sugar depth — the black tea built for milk.

  • 1 ingredient — Assam black tea
  • 33 lattes per 100 g bag · 20 sachets per pack
  • Hot or iced — same 3 g dose

A brisk Assam, stone-milled whole, with the malty backbone that made black tea and milk a permanent couple. This is the one for people who want their latte to taste like tea, not dessert.

Whisk 3 g into 60 ml of 75–80°C water — never boiling — then add milk, or ice and milk. The 100 g bag makes about 33 drinks; the sachet pack makes 20.

Storage

Reseal after each use and keep away from heat and light. A milled leaf has far more surface area than a whole one, so it fades faster if left open.

The whole character of tea.

  1. 01

    Whole leaf

    Milled entire, so nothing is strained out and thrown away.

  2. 02

    Stone-milled

    Granite turns slowly and stays cool, so the aromatics survive the grind.

  3. 03

    The discipline of less.

    What we leave out matters as much as what we keep: a considered expression of each tea, and nothing that does not belong to it.
