A tasty take on classic chai, this loose leaf creation uses green tea instead of the traditional black. It's inspired by the tea houses of old Shanghai.

At its heart is a striking green tea, pan-fired in the traditional Chinese manner rather than steamed in the Japanese style. It offers a subtle nuttiness and gentle smokiness.

This works beautifully with warming spices that give chai its beloved flavour: cinnamon, cardamom and clove. For a further twist we add a touch of sweet spearmint and invigorating ginger for a refreshing, cooling finish.

A tiny pinch of black pepper rounds things off, adding just enough intrigue to make you reach for another cup.

Yum cha, as the Chinese say. Utterly yummy, as we say.
