The garden is in, food is preserved, firewood is chopped. Our teas are in, tailored to perfection and ready to be steeped. Finally.

It's time to hunker down, winter is almost upon us.

Stay well, stay warm.

Bulk teas offered in simple packaging for better value, in quantities to sustain you for a fortnight or more, even for a heavy tea drinker.

We could offer you pots and cups, from the trendiest makers of mass production, as easily as we could pack our tea into bags.

But the world has enough of this already, we are here to make tea, and they don't make them like they used to.

As a tip of our hat to the second-best boss I ever had, we pick a quote for each season, just like he did for each meeting, one that speaks to our feelings of the time.

So here it is, and to Tom.

"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be"
