The Stir Tea Premier range showcases the 2008 spring tea harvest from China. 

In April 2008 our Director, Michelle Casson journeyed deep into the rural heartland of Southern China to participate in the spring tea harvest.  During her travels Michelle was able to admire century old traditions, craftsmanship and witness the reverence that tea is afforded in China.

The Premier range includes teas that Michelle observed being grown and nurtured by local tea farmers and their families who have been crafting tea for centuries. 

Michelle fondly refers to the 2008 spring harvest teas as the Euphoria range.  With wonderful aromas and taste these teas are each exceptional examples of their unique tea styles.

Because of the styles and nature of these exquisite spring harvest teas we encourage you to infuse them multiple times. 

:: A Note on Current Stock Levels of our Premier Range:: 

 We are delighted that our 2008 harvest selection has been so well received and enjoyed by our customers.  We do apologise however that we can now only offer a limited selection of stock, having run out of supplies of our Premier unroasted Tie Guan Yin and the Phoenix Oolong – our remaining selection as outlined below continues to offer outstanding quality.

If there is a particular style of tea that you are searching for please do not hesitate to contact us – we might have it in stock, but just not posted on our website.
