Welcome to our Tea section

At Exchange coffee we have been tasting and selecting for sale the best available tea's from all around the world, from the strong Indian Assam's to the light and fragrant Japanese greens. We have over 120 different teas in stock in the shops, which we are currently making available online.

There are three main types of tea; Black, Green and Oolong. Black tea is fermented, Oolong is semi-fermented and Green tea is not fermented. Tea is also graded by quality: generally the larger the leaf, the better the quality and the smaller the leaf the stronger the taste. Black teas are usually served with milk and/or sugar whilst Green tea and Oolongs are best served on their own. In addition to this, Green tea and Oolong generally need a shorter brewing time (2-3 minutes) and water that is just under boiling temperature.

The teas on the left hand side are listed by country of origin. Please browse our online list, if you do not see what you require please email us at info@exchangecoffee.co.uk or ring us on 01200 442270 to discuss your requirements.
