The weather is finally getting cooler and the ice machine at our Bermondsey store can relax a little bit. This summer saw lots of iced teas and iced matcha, and the introduction of some new drinks. Our Matcha Coconut Cloud offered some relief from the sun for our customers. The caffeine in the matcha powder offers energy and the coconut water offers hydration; an excellent combination to beat the heat wave! As the temperatures drop, the team are looking forward to putting their inventive hats on for a more cosy seasonal drink.
Matcha Bowls
We are very excited to announce we now have matcha bowls in stock! We have been working with a good friend of the company, Robert Winter, to create these. Each bowl is made by hand and specifically designed for making matcha. The inside has grooves, which aid in whisking the powder into the water. The bottom is flat to make room for a bamboo whisk, and the lip of the bowl has a spout for easy pouring.
Robert has been making ceramics for over 20 years, and specialises in ceramics, glass, and design. He not only creates his own work but also teaches students, helping them develop their own style. He met the owner, Ratan, many years ago when he worked in ceramics. Even when Ratan moved to tea, Robert remained a good friend. He was the obvious choice when we decided to matcha equipment, and we couldn't be more happy with how the bowls turned out!

Meet our Indian Team
This autumn, Ratan and Priya Mondal will be going out to Kolkata and Darjeeling to check on the gardens and taste tea. There they will meet our drivers: Dipika and Diwas. These two have been working with us for the last six years.
Dipika (left) and Dewas (right) joined our team earlier this year on our first tea tour where they drove Ratan, Priya, and our guests from the airport in Bagdogra up to the Puttabong cottage and around Darjeeling. Always with a smile on their face, these two are an essential in getting our team where they need to go safely.
You may have seen that flooding and landslides have devastated the Himalaya region, especially in Nepal. Depika and Dewas have also been affected by this, as a part of their income is in transport between Darjeeling and Nepal. Their knowledge of the roads and the region is a key factor in making sure people's livelihoods run smoothly.
We would like to celebrate their hard work in bringing tea to you, our lovely customers.
