Teavotion Green Tea
It was in our quest to find the ultimate tea experience that the Teavotion company was founded. It was on this same search that we soon realised the most delicate and flavoursome of the green teas were always the ones made from a loose leaf. For centuries this is the how tea had always been brewed, until our love affair with the tea bag almost pushed the art of tea making into the history books. We however, are firm believers that traditional methods are very often the best, and believe that by returning to more traditional methods you can often find them more relaxing, wholesome and fulfilling experiences.
The art of tea making is no exception, after all in Japan the skill in brewing tea is central to their Tea Ceremony, where each stage of brewing is carried out in an almost Zen like fashion. The result is a relaxing and enjoyable experience for all, one that has been carried out for centuries, and one that even today is still widely practiced and seen as a social gathering.
There is no skill required in placing a tea bag in a tea cup, as for the overall taste of the end infusion, well you probably couldn't even begin to compare it to a loose leaf tea. This is why we want to bring back the enjoyment to tea making and revive the traditional art of brewing tea from fresh loose leaves. We want tea drinkers to once again experience the sight of loose leaves as they slowly unfurl in hot water, to enjoy the enticing aromas as they slowly infuse, and delight in the taste of the finest tea leaves from the gardens of China and Japan.
You could say we are passionate about our teas, you could say it's more like a Teavotion for us.
