Derrick’s Speciality Tea List
Nilgiri BOP
Nilgiri teas resemble better Ceylon teas in character but tend to be more subtle in flavour. This Broken Orange Pekoe has a semi-whole leaf and is brisk and fragrant when brewed. Serve with milk or lemon As with Jasmine but with roses this time, the Pouchong
petals are inter layered with a China Black tea and the tea adsorbs the delicate oils. This results in the most wonderfully pungent tea smelling exactly as you would imagine it to. It can be drunk with a little milk but is best served black. Chun Mee is a popular green tea. Produced in China where the name means "Precious Eyebrow" because the leaves are rolled into the shape of eyebrows and then pan fried. The tea has a pale yellow liquor and a slight astringency. This tea has an incomparable Jasmine character with a full flavoured cup and delightful aromatic Butterfly
nose. This tea is produced by layering freshly plucked Jasmine petals with an exceptional hand plucked green tea from Fujian Province in China. Best served on its own Phoenix#1
Oolong tea is semi fermented which is one of Iron Goddess the reasons why it has such a unique character
lying somewhere between a green and a black tea. This grade of oolong is sweet with a fragrant finish, and no bitterness. Highly recommended, this tea will not disappoint. Best served on its own Derrick’s Speciality Tea List

Russian Caravan is a blend of Oolong, Keemun and Lapsang Souchong teas. Although all of these are Chinese teas, the name originates from the 18th century camel caravans that facilitated the transcontinental tea trade from tea-producing areas (namely India, Ceylon and China) to Europe via Russia. This popular blend has rightly had its place in british tea history Best served on its own Honeybos
infusion in the same manner as tea. It grows only in small areas in the southwest and southeast of South Africa and has many similarities with rooibos. As the name suggests, its sweeter than rooibos and still caffeine free Served on its own or with milk
