Grow from seed - the camelia sinensis var sinensis - this tea is very slightly sweet with light hints of fruit, subtle umami and savoury notes. Hand picked and processed in small batches, the leaves are steamed before drying. Brew by adding 3g to 200ml filtered water at around 80C.
It takes a good few years of hard work to produce Welsh tea! Peterston grow most of their tea plants from seed which is carefully sourced from a number of different areas, ex Soviet Georgia and Ilam in Nepal to name a couple. Each seed produces a unique plant so growing in this way gives huge genetic variance and the best possible chance of establishing high quality plants that tolerate the Welsh climate. It also means the teas are as nature intended, rich in diversity of flavour & aromas, always full of character but always changing - and completely unique!!
