Savour each sip with tea from Tour de Tea
Picture misty mountains blanketed in tea plantations that mirror the curves of the landscape. The age-old tea-making process starts from these fields with the picking of ‘two leaves and a bud’ to the factory where the all-important conversion to tea happens. An important part of this whole process is the tasting, including the mandatory slurp that circulates the tea around the mouth generating a lingering sensation.
With unique flavours like Apple Crumble, Lime Coconut Calypso, Granny’s Garden, Instant Kharma to the more recognisable Buddhas Tears, Classic Chai, Dandelion Root and English Breakfast, Tour de Tea has a blend to suit all tastes. One worthy of mention is the Taiwan High Mountain Oolong. It has characteristic dried-fruit flavours, a hint of floral after taste, and a lingering smoothness at the back of the throat. Known to both invigorate the senses and relax, this authentic artisan-crafted tea is hand picked from the renowned Shan Lin Xi region and manually processed.
Each cup of tea represents a voyage and Tour de Tea’s range of loose-leaf tea is nothing short of a journey for your tastebuds. Tour de Tea also stocks a range of durable and practical teapots, including high-quality glass teapots make from borosilicate glass with a spout that doesn’t dribble.
For tea blends that can relax with you all day, pay a visit to one of the many Tour de Tea market stalls including Boggo Road Markets, Kelvin Grove Village Market, Nundah Farmers Market and Mitchelton Farmers Market.
