1866 – The Great Clipper Tea Race

Clipper ships were merchant vessels designed to sail swiftly and fast. Clippers carried cargoes of tea from China to Britain and would compete in races to be the first ship to dock in London. In honour of one of the famous races, The Great Clipper Tea Race of 1866, we celebrate the occasion with three specially selected loose leaf teas. Let’s face it, without these amazing clipper vessels tea would not have been transported to Britain – can you imagine not ever drinking tea?

How to serve:
Did you know you can steep the same tea leaves multiple times? After each steep the flavour is very different. We say for many loose leaf teas you can steep not just once, twice but three times and with some teas you can steep more than three times. It’s often the third steep that produces the best tasting tea.

Steep it once  – Boil kettle, add 1tspn, steep 2-3mins, enjoy.
Steep it twice – Boil kettle, add to same leaves, steep, enjoy.
Steep it thrice – Boil kettle, add to same leaves, steep.
Aaaarh! Simply the best cup of the day!

12 total cups of tea (loose leaf tea steeped once)  OR  36 total cups of tea (loose leaf tea steeped three times)
