Tea from Grey's Teas
Our teas are loose leaf and we specialise in large leaf grades. All are made using traditional orthodox methods. Our teas are from named tea gardens or defined areas of origin.
Sourcing our tea
Assam Duflating Second Flush has been chosen for its distinctive, balanced flavour, aroma and appearance. Our tea is carefully sourced from long-established shippers. We can therefore guarantee the quality and origin of each tea and that it conforms to UK food and drink health regulations and our own demanding grading requirements.
The benefits of loose leaf tea
This loose leaf tea enables the full flavour characteristics of the tea to infuse. This tea is chosen for its high grade which imparts the flavour and aroma characteristics for which this tea is best known. A little extra time is necessary when infusing large leaf grades but you will be rewarded with a superior, more balanced cup. You will be well rewarded for your patience!
Packing options
There are generally several packing options to choose from. These are 60 grams, 125 grams and 250 grams, the default being 125 grams in a packet. Our tough resealable packets contain a moisture barrier to ensure freshness is maintained and are specifically designed for tea. Alternatively, you can select a tin caddy for your tea. These square, silver coloured caddies have hinged lids. Again, 60 gram, 125 gram and 250 gram options are generally available as options which can be selected from the drop-down list. Packets and caddies have full-colour labels.

Yes, very drinkable, rich, malty and full bodied, but smooth and refreshing too. I need to order more! 5 star tea.

This tea is just as pretty in the leaf as the photo: lovely orange strands among the black. It is VERY drinkable, the malty flavour to the fore. Personally, I drink it without milk, possibly a little weaker than recommended, in a pint beerglass (they never crack). I also top the pot up after the first glassful. A pleasant adjunct to Dickens or George Elliot.

Simply delicious

I am a little bemused – my tea of choice is always black – builder style! I have worked my way through Greys selections from Assam, Kenya, Ceylon and China over several years now and find Harmutty to be consistently my no1 choice. However, a small packet of Duflating 2nd Flush 2016 earlier this summer vied for top place and lead me to order a larger pack costing c£33. Sadly, it does not have the same malty richness as the first batch – there is a slight bitterness. I can only assume the two packets were from differing batches – albeit both are labelled as 2016 (not 2018 as itemised above)
Think I will stick to Harmutty…
