Darjeeling First Flush Chamong 2021 is part of our 2021 First Flush collection. It is a type of Black Tea from the Chamong Estate, consisting of a well-made, neat green leaf.
When brewed, expect nothing less than a beautiful amber liquor and a quintessentially Darjeeling Tea taste best described as floral and muscatel. We pack it fresh to order here at our Kent-based factory.
Established in 1871, Chamong takes its name from the local Lepcha people, who once called a vocal bird living nearby “Chamoo.” Tea covers 132 hectares (330 acres) of the garden, located at altitudes between 1,150 to 1,850 metres (3,770-6,070 feet) above sea level.
It has also received fair trade and Rainforest Alliance certification, ensuring the welfare of the local environment and those living and working in it.
Caffeine is a stimulant found in at least sixty plants. This includes Tea from the Camellia sinensis plant and Coffee from the Coffea plant.
The fact that Darjeeling First Flush Chamong 2021 is a Black Tea means that it has relatively high levels of caffeine. Should you need extra help getting out of bed in the morning, in other words, you’ve chosen exceptionally well here.
How to Serve: Best served without additions. However, some like honey or lemon.
Tasting Notes: Embrace a refreshing muscatel flavour with every sip.
Numerous scientific studies indicate that Black Tea, regardless of the type, improves life in small yet significant ways. Our very own Darjeeling First Flush Chamong 2021 is, of course, no exception.
Frequent consumption could benefit your health and wellbeing on a molecular level by combating oxidative stress. The result may then be a reduced risk of developing several chronic conditions.

Darjeeling First Flush Balasun 2021 is a Loose Leaf Black Tea from the Darjeeling District of West Bengal, India. Workers harvest it during the first flush season, which connoisseurs consider the best of the best when it comes to Darjeeling Tea.
Even better, perhaps, is the fact that the Balasun Tea Garden has an excellent reputation for producing full-bodied infusions with grassy undertones.
Balasun was founded in 1871, its name deriving from the river that flows at the bottom ridge of the garden. It lies at altitudes between 1,600 and 4,600 feet above sea level, near the town of Sonada.
An estimated 100,000kg of Organic Darjeeling Tea is produced from 181.38 hectares (448.2 acres) of Tea-growing land annually. This particular Tea was plucked and processed in late March.
Contrary to popular belief, Darjeeling First Flush is Black Tea, not Green Tea. Though the leaves are green in appearance, their character and caffeine levels are that of a heavily oxidised variety.
You can expect around 45-mg of caffeine per serving. Additionally, there are no more than two calories within. We pack it fresh to order, ensuring not only quality but also consistency.
How to Serve: Best served without additions. However, some like honey or lemon.
Tasting Notes: Expect a robust flavour with muscatel notes and grassy hints.
If taste alone isn’t enough, then you might be pleased to know that evidence suggests that Darjeeling Tea comes with health benefits.
This is due primarily to its wealth in vitamins, minerals and other antioxidants, which combat and neutralise free radicals in the body. Doing so reduces the risk of developing a multitude of chronic conditions. What could be better than that?
Guatemala Maragogype Dark Roast is a dark-roasted, high-grown, Central American Coffee consisting of washed arabica beans. It is the counterpart to our Guatemalan Maragogype Elephant Coffee.
When brewed, it has a deep, slightly bitter flavour well-suited to those who like a hearty brew. We pack it fresh to order here at our Kent-based factory, ensuring quality and consistency.
It’s worth noting, too, that Guatemala Maragogype Dark Roast, as you might expect, contains a considerable amount of caffeine.
Indeed, contrary to popular belief, the roasting of the beans has little effect on how much of this stimulating chemical compound is held within. Expect around 100-120-mg per 8-oz cup – more than enough to get you out of bed in the morning.
While our Guatemala Maragogype Dark Roast Coffee is unmistakably Guatemalan, its name is not. The “Mara” in Maragogype originates from a Brazillian town where this arabica variety was first discovered.
What makes it distinctive is the large size of the beans. Cultivation has since taken place in Guatemala, which is the 10th largest Coffee producing country in the world.
In Central America, specifically, this country ranks second in terms of the quantity of Coffee grown and processed. The practise dates back hundreds of years to the time of Spanish colonisation in the 17th century.
However, it wasn’t until the 1800s that it became a commercially successful export crop. The reason for this sudden change in the industry is twofold.
The first factor involved a series of political movements beginning with Guatemala’s independence from Spain in 1821. It was initially part of the First Mexican Empire until 1824, whereby it was incorporated into the Federal Republic of Central America.
Finally, in 1841, the nation became fully independent and autonomous, which coincided with the second factor: the collapse of the local indigo industry.
By 1859, having filled the void left by indigo, over a half million Coffee plants flourished in the regions of Antigua, Coban, Fraijanes and San Marcos. Production increased further when Justo Rufino Barrios (1835-1885) became president and dictator, seizing land and reserving it for Coffee farming.
More dictators, coups, civil wars and economic struggles saw Coffee sales fluctuate over the next century.
Since 1997, Guatemala’s Coffee enterprises have steadied somewhat. It now makes top-quality Coffee – including, of course, our Guatemala Maragogype Dark Roast Coffee.
What’s more, we help it to reach its full potential with the latest state-of-the-art Neuhaus Neotec fluidised air-bed system. This process functions by using heat transference to roast the beans. Why not try it today?
Origin: Guatemala, Central America.
Pinus Sylvestris Tea is a Herbal Tea that comes from the species of tree of the same name. When brewed, the infusion has a delightfully sweet and grassy flavour.
Expect each wholesome sip to evoke images of walks through enchanting forests. You can buy Pinus Sylvestris Tea here at The Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company, where everything is packed fresh to order.
Pinus Sylvestris is native to Eurasia. It thrives from Western Europe to Eastern Siberia, north to within the Arctic Circle and south as far as Turkey. The Pinus Sylvestris Needles are easily recognisable by their blue-green leaves, while the tree’s bark is a distinct orange-red colour.
Overall, it can grow up to 35 metres high and have a trunk around one metre in diameter when mature.
Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Tea contains no leaves from the Camellia sinensis (Tea) plant. This means that, technically, it isn’t a “Tea” in the conventional sense.
The absence of such leaves likewise means that it is 100% void of caffeine. Drinking it while trying to cut down your intake is, therefore, an excellent choice. Allow us now to show you how to make Pinus Sylvestris Tea at home.
How to Serve: Consider honey, lemon or Peppermint Tea. Alternatively, serve without additions.
Tasting Notes: Imparts a sweet and grassy flavour with a refreshing finish.
Pinus Sylvestris’ uses are far-reaching. This is because the Loose Leaf Tea contains a wealth of vitamins, minerals and other antioxidants. Constituents such as these can combat free radicals in the body, the product of natural, though often harmful, human oxidation.
Doing so reduces the risk of developing a vast multitude of chronic conditions, cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes among them.
It turns out that Pinus Sylvestris health benefits extend to the immune system. Its abundance in Vitamin C strengthens the body’s natural defences so that they’re better equipped to ward off common colds and the flu (influenza).
However, it’s essential to note that all the research supporting the claim is in its preliminary stages. If you have any concerns, please speak to a doctor beforehand.
Our Fair Trade Coffee Blend enables you to enjoy a delicious, invigorating brew with a clear conscience. As the name suggests, it has received Fair Trade certification. This ensures that it meets the high standards put in place for ethics, transparency and respect from bean to cup.
It tastes great, too, having been roasted using the latest state-of-the-art Neuhaus Neotec fluidised air-bed system.
Perhaps best of all, we pack our Fair Trade Coffee Blend, like almost all of our products, fresh to order. This guarantees not only quality but also consistency with every cuppa brewed. Whatever you’re looking for from your morning brew, you’ve undoubtedly come to the right place.
Why not try Fair Trade Coffee Blend today and adorn your mug with this remarkable infusion?
The beans found in this blend come from Brazil, Colombia and Ethiopia. Each country has something unique, indeed extraordinary, to offer when it comes to the Coffee they produce.
And when combined, it makes for a match made in heaven. Not only does this fusion provide indulgent flavours, though; it also comes with the assurance that every Coffee is certified Fair Trade.
Ethiopia, in particular, is the home of Coffee. It was here many centuries ago that, according to legend, a goat herder witnessed his flock gorging on unfamiliar berries. When he tried them for himself, a feeling of boosted energy overcame him.
Without knowing it at the time, the man had just discovered Coffee – or so the story goes! All we know for sure is that its immense popularity has since spread across the world.
Brazil and Colombia, on the other hand, are today the first and the third largest Coffee producers, respectively. The Coffee plant likely arrived in South America at some point during the 18th century, and has since become a staple of society. By choosing our Fair Trade Coffee Blend, you are supporting the livelihoods of thousands of Coffee workers in Ethiopia, Brazil, Colombia and many other areas!
