Tea
We have put together a range of our favourite local & international organic loose leaf teas.
Tea, rich in history, has many health benefits; it never ceases to amaze us how one plant (camellia senensis)
can be so unique and complex - as a reflection of the region, season, farm & farmer.
While our little bird tea menu predominantly focuses on tea from the tea bush, there are also many other
herbal teas that we enjoy, we have put together a collection of herbal teas to compliment the range.
