Our Favourite Autumn Teas at Tea-Direct
With the arrival of autumn, you might be looking for a tea that embodies all of the wonderful scents and flavours of the changing season. Think of sweet, comforting flavours of dried winter fruits, nuts and spice, and crisp, aromatic scents that are redolent of falling leaves and woodsmoke.
Our range of autumnal teas offer a wonderful range of delightful, warming fruity flavours, sweet and nutty tastes, and rich, vibrant aromas that are ideal to enjoy on those crisp mornings and chilly evenings.
Oolong Tea – From £10.99
This darker style oolong tea is sourced from Taiwan and offers deep raisin and ripe fruit aromas that are redolent of Autumn. Revealing lingering sweet flavours and smooth, fruity notes, this is a great introduction to Taiwanese tea, and is perfect for those colder days.
Made from the leaves, stems and buds of the Camellia sinensis plant, Oolong teas are in a class of their own, being neither green nor black teas, but somewhere in between. The characteristics of a particular Oolong depend on how long the leaves have been allowed to oxidize, creating a diverse range of flavours.
Formosa Lapsang Souchong Tea – From £11.99
This delicious, large leaf black tea is gently smoked to reveal hints of pine and oak, with a smoky, earthy taste that is typical of a lapsang souchong tea, though slightly more prominent.
Lapsang teas are sourced from the Wuyi Mountain region of China's Fujian Province and gain their distinct smoky flavours from the drying process, during which leaves are dried over pine wood fires to develop complex woody notes, complementing their natural flavours.
Blood Orange Fruit Tisane – From £11.99
Spanish oranges help to create this wonderfully fruity tisane, which is completely caffeine free and perfect to enjoy morning, noon and night.
Made from a vibrant blend of orange peels, apple bits, hibiscus blossoms, rose hip petals and papaya bits, our Blood Orange Fruit Tisane is sweet and refreshing, while blood orange, known for its distinctive deep red flesh and sweet-tart flavour, is high in antioxidants and vitamin C.
Produced in the Zhejiang Province of China, this green tea is prepared by rolling the leaves into small pellets, at which point they are withered, steamed, rolled and dried. The resulting tea is beautifully golden in colour, and packed full of flavours and wonderful aromas that can be enjoyed all through the day.
Almond Flavoured Tea – From £10.99
A strong black tea, flavoured with sweet almonds to create a rich and indulgent treat - the perfect tea for the cold winter months.
