Hello! Welcome to our site.

Folks often wonder what on earth all the fuss is about, what actually is “whole leaf tea”. Is it spiel? Or is there some substance there?? Well here’s a little Tea 101…

You Gotta Roll With It

Tea leaves come in a couple of forms, squashed, mangled and shredded (known in the trade as CTC), or nicely rolled (known as orthodox).

Because they are gently rolled, orthodox leaves keep much more of the stuff that makes tea both tasty and healthy. As you can imagine crushing and tearing a leaf doesn’t do much for the taste! Plus it means you can disguise rubbish tea since it all looks the same in the end. Rolled tea not so, it all looks quite different so you can spot an imposter a fifty paces.

Now I’m sure you can see where this is going so here it is: “at Brew we only ever use crushed, mangled and shredded tea leaves” - er…hang on, that’s wrong. Of course we absolutely only ever use orthodox, or rolled, tea leaves.

This means that that whenever you drink one of our brews you can be sure it’s super tasty and also really healthy, simply because we do less to it meaning you get more out of it!

Well, strictly speaking you don’t have to be called Maddie, but you do have to be nice because you’re taking Maddie’s job! Don’t worry though, Maddie is relocating so sadly she has to leave us, it’s not a case of “Oi! Get out of here!”.

You need to be nice because you’ll be finding and contacting lots of new cusTEAmers, from really big museums and hotels through to little niche cafés and so on, essentially looking to spread the word of our whole leaf tea.

Experience in “spreading the word”, whether it’s tea or any other product, would be brilliant but certainly isn’t totally necessary.

A love of tea, particularly really good whole leaf tea, is pretty critical. Of course we’ll teach you a thing or two, so just enjoying an amazing cuppa is a good start.
