In the 1800s Robert Fortune risked his life smuggling tea plants from China to India, because demand for this restricted Chinese beverage was bordering on hysteria.
Fine tea is as prized as a fine wine, and can cost much more – for good reason.
But don’t take my word for it. Make an appointment with yourself. Turn off your phone, take a special cup, add a sachet of Newby Oriental Sencha green tea and hot water. Sit down, smell and sip. Clear your mind, swirl the tea slowly around your mouth and enjoy the subtle flavours and smooth warmth. Allow your body to relax and experience pure hedonism.
Why Newby teas? The founder, Nirmal Sethia’s passion for tea started when he was a 14 year old apprentice tea buyer in London. He tells us, ‘A good cup of tea is like a journey to the heavens. It’s there to delight in.’
Newby Teas source the finest, prime season leaves from a variety of tea gardens, and, incredibly, the tea will only bear the Newby name after Mr Sethia himself has tasted and approved it. Perhaps this is why Newby Teas have won so many international awards?
A good tea possesses many health-giving properties – green tea in particular is a great source of anti-oxidants. So forget the chocolate advent calendar, start your New Year resolutions early and treat your mind and body to real pleasure and rejuvenation with a Newby Tea Advent Calendar.
