SIO is an Oolong tea inspired by Georgian Tea Master Nike Sioridze. It's a light and smooth oolong made from the finest fresh leaves hand-picked by local villagers. This tea is processed with a Georgian twist on traditional Oolong recipes, making it a truly unique Oolong.
The leaves have a smooth, sweet, and slightly woody scent, hints of vegetal aroma linger in the background. The brewed tea is golden and full bodied, with a slightly nutty aroma. The flavour is honeyed, with a smooth vegetal body and a refreshing aftertaste with no bitterness or astringency.
Due to the whole leaf nature of this tea, it is more resilient to overbrewing, making it an excellent tea for those stepping into the world of loose leaf and gaiwan brewing.
We source our teas as close to the original producer as possible, while other brands are often multiple steps removed from the original producer, our Georgian tea is sourced directly from the single farm which produces them, ensuring as much profit as possible goes to the people growing and blending the tea, and keeping these communities thriving.
In addition to this, a portion of our sales goes to Rainforest Trust UK, to do what we can to protect endangered species and threatened habitats across the world. Each cup you enjoy places 25sqm of endangered land under protection, so you can enjoy your tea knowing you're helping the environment, and the communities of those growing the tea.
