Bramah Indian and Ceylon Teas

Bramah Speciality House Blend
Assam and Darjeeling leaf teas designed to introduce the modern tea drinker to the taste of the very best of orthodox leaf tea of fifty years ago. Production of these teas has never ceased, but demand for the different kind of teas in teabags has drastically reduced it. The blend is made from the top two leaves and a bud, plucked at the best time of the year. The taste has an incomparable smoothness and flavour.

Price:
£3.50 each

Bramah Darjeeling Flowery Orange Pekoe
The tea grown in the Darjeeling gardens is so good that its entire production is still reserved today for orthodox leaf tea. Darjeeling is famous for tasting like muscatel (the skin of a grape), and is known as the 'champagne' of teas. Our blend is made up of a selection from several different gardens to achieve an incomparable flavour.

The word 'Orange' incidentally is an indication of quality and has no connection to flavour whatsoever.

Bramah Assam Broken Orange Pekoe
Assam teas are famous for their rich, malty flavour and are the basis of English breakfast tea, giving you a good start to the day. All the Assam gardens used to make up this blend are of the best quality. There is a difference between this tea and the tea you get in tea bags.

Bramah Ceylon Broken Orange Pekoe
Many Ceylon (Sri Lanka) gardens have gone over entirely to production of faster infusing teas, but few in the Dimbula district from which our blend comes still produce orthodox tea. This blend has a tangerine-like flavour inherent to traditional Ceylon that can only be released in a five-minute infusion. It is an ideal accompaniment for English afternoon tea.

Bramah Traditional Leaf Blend

Bramah China Black Teas

Banks Earl Grey
Bergamot oil from the citrus fruit grown in the Calabria district in Italy had become popular in the 18th and 19th centuries as a flavouring for gin and snuff. It was brought to Joseph Banks attention who is known to have experimented with flavourings. He is credited with adding it to tea and it was most likely given the name Earl Grey since he was the popular Prime Minister of the time.

The Souchong leaf is almost dead black, large, loose in style and slightly cured. It was most popular in the 1870s and it is known to have been shipped in the Clippers 'Cutty Sark' and 'Flying Cloud'.

Bramah China Green Teas

Bramah Gunpowder
This is the name given to the highest-grade of China, green, unfermented tea with a fresh, subtle flavour. It was originally marketed in many sub-grades.

Bramah Formosa Oolong

Bramah Formosa Oolong
Oolongs are semi-fermented teas i.e. halfway between black and green tea. The best quality, which traditionally comes from Formosa (Taiwan), has an attractive amber colour. With their intensely pungent fruity flavour they are something of an acquired taste.

Bramah Japanese Tea

Bramah Japanese Sencha
Japan green teas are the white wines of tea, as different from Congous and Oolongs as Sauvignon from Burgundy. These teas are not meant to infuse in the pot for more than 60 seconds, so they make a perfect alternative to tea bag tea for those needing an instant drink. Now becoming better known outside Japan, this tea currently shows the fastest expansion of any type of green tea in the world. The museum is proud through the Edward Bramah Museum Café, to have an association with Kakagowa the tea growing area of Shishouka, Japan.
