Devils Tor
A smoky black tea with a large leaf.
There is something slightly hypnotic about brewing a pot of broodingly dark Lapsang Souchong. Highly aromatic, it conjures pictures of crackling bonfires and heady wood smoke slicing through cold winter days.
To achieve such an intense aroma the leaves must be slowly died over pinewood fires. This process reduces the caffeine content of the tea, making this an excellent evening beverage.
Disappointingly, this fabulously named Tor isn’t quite as exciting as you might hope. No-one has ever figured out what the devil has do with it – there aren’t even any tall tales associated with it.
Tea Format
This tea is available in loose form or in our beautiful bio pyramids. Our biodegradable tea pyramids are suitable for composting and are completely free of microplastics. Made from a material called SOILON which contains lactic acid derived from corn starch, they are completely biodegradable and decompose within 30 days.
The dangers posed by microplastics on the environment are well documented. What people are less aware of are the staggering amounts of microplastics present in most tea bags. When steeped in hot water, they release billions of microplastic particles into the mug, each one the size of a grain of pollen.
When purchased in loose form, this tea is sealed within a biodegradable cornstarch pouch. So when buying our teas, whether in loose or pyramid form, you can do so safe in the knowledge that our tea bags and packaging materials are completely biodegradeable and free of microplastics.
However, we’ve whiled away many a peaceful moment on its rather unspectacular outcrop with a strong cup of Lapsang Souchong and stared at the breathtaking views that are as extensive in distance than any we have ever seen. To feel part of a much bigger picture is where we find the meaning here.
