On Angel's Wings Tea 50g
On Angel's Wings is a bold, complex blend that combines two special yet surprisingly complementary ingredients: Pu-erh tea from the Yunnan province of south-western China (an aged, fermented red-black tea) and South American yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis — the traditional energising drink of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay). Berries and flowers add a playful lightness to the serious base, as though an angel were visiting the depths.
Flavour profile
Pu-erh provides the characteristic earthy, brooding, woodland tone — as though you were standing in a quiet forest on a post-rain morning. Mate brings a greener, slightly smoky, lightly bitter character. Freeze-dried blueberry, strawberry and raspberry float like small sweet clouds through the deeper texture, while carrot adds an unexpected earthy-sweet note. Calendula and mallow decorate the cup, and nettle lends a green depth. Together they form a layered, exploration-worthy brew.
What it is for
An excellent morning or early-afternoon tea when you want both depth and liveliness — as though an angel had touched your shoulder. Thanks to the caffeine and mate content, it provides sustained, even energy, ideal in the middle of a long workday when you no longer fancy coffee but could use a calm promise of strength in your cup. It is also a good companion on cold winter days when a little inner fire feels welcome.
Preparation
Use 2 to 3 grams of tea (one heaped teaspoon) per 200 ml of water. Boil the water and let it cool to 90-95 degrees Celsius. Steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Pu-erh naturally takes well to re-steeping — you can infuse the same leaves two or even three times, extending the life of the pack. The second infusion often delivers an even deeper, more rounded flavour than the first — worth trying.
Ingredients
Pu-erh red tea, yerba mate, nettle, carrot, freeze-dried blueberry, calendula, mallow, freeze-dried strawberry, freeze-dried raspberry, aroma. All ingredients are of natural origin and carefully selected. Both Pu-erh and mate carry long traditions in their homelands — their meeting in this blend is a dialogue of cultures.
Who we recommend it to
For experienced tea drinkers who enjoy discovering new, characterful flavours — the combination of Pu-erh and mate is unusual. For those consciously moving away from coffee but still wanting an energising companion. For writers, creators and entrepreneurs seeking long focus sessions. A natural gift for someone who appreciates more serious, distinctive drinks. Also an exciting choice for travellers — a cup that contains both China and South America.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from light, tightly sealed. Pu-erh appreciates slightly breathable storage (not entirely airtight) — its aged nature means a little air contact is actually beneficial. After opening, transfer to a glass or ceramic container if you plan to keep it for longer. With proper storage the blend retains its character for years.
