For passers-by, happening upon Tea Orient is often a surprise, and always a pleasant one. To expand this experience, Tea Orient sells an expansive range of different quality teas and gifts.
Green teas, white teas, red teas, puer and oolong - a tea shop of distinction
Besides the most popular of the oriental teas, jasmine green tea, there are many other unusual and mysterious tastes to explore. Widely reported as an aid to weight loss, puer black has a full, earthy flavour without sharing the bitterness left by other black teas.
Lying between the unoxidised green tea and the oxidised black teas, oolong marries the fresh flavour of the former while having a full bodied flavour. Oolong has been linked to the slowing of the aging process, while helping with the functioning of the spleen and kidneys.
The variety of teas are astounding, and not just to be kept to oneself, but shared with family and friends. The temptation to take away a little piece of individuality in a desert of coffee chains is irresistable. For this reason, the helpful and friendly staff are on hand to advise on the best way to infuse and serve your tea, and a handsome range of tea ware is also available to enable you to create you own oasis.
