Product Description

As a Brighton company, the name of this tea is a tribute to the author Graham Greene, who wrote the book Brighton Rock, hence a connection with our home city. With its literary theme, we envisage this tea as a great one to drink while engrossed in a good book, perhaps with a cheeky chocolate biscuit or two.

This interesting blend is for those who want a subtle taste of chocolate that doesn’t over-power the taste of the tea.

It is a perfectly balanced blend of Chinese Yunnan green tea and cacao shells. The addition of echinacea means it could give a little boost to your immune system too. Yunnan green tea is actually quite unusual as Yunnan is more well known for its black teas and Pu’erh. It has a sweet aroma, a grassy flavour and is smooth with minimal bitterness.

Cacao shells are often thought of as a waste product as it is the bean inside the shell that is prized and used to produce wonderful chocolate products that we love to eat.
However, the shells are a natural source of antioxidants, iron, magnesium, and zinc, and give a delicate chocolate taste of their own. Coupled with the fact they have no sugar and are calorie-free when infused, it is quite a satisfying cup.

Echinacea is native to North America and has been used in herbal remedies for centuries to support the treatment of a range of illnesses. It also adds a freshness and a slight floral hint to the blend.

Our Green Values

  • Health

  • Hand-blended and packed in the UK.

  • Environmentally sustainable

  • Our blenders have visited over 130 tea estates worldwide to ensure we are using suppliers that have a proven track record of quality and systems management.
  • A major part of this is employee welfare. It also gives us control over the quality of the finished product.
  • Our blenders are certified by SALSA (Safe And Local Supplier Approved) ensuring we can apply strict employee welfare standards to our own supply chain.
  • Our teas come from estates that strive to produce the very best quality and as such will get a proper premium for their teas – a portion of which is reinvested in the health and welfare of their employees.
  • Every ingredient can be traced back to source.
  • All of our suppliers are screened, with thorough documenting of their processes, and audited where deemed necessary.
  • The majority of our suppliers hold accreditation from the British Retail Consortium (BRC) or the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) and many of the large tea growers are also members of Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance or involved in the Ethical Tea Partnership.
  • Our teas and infusions are blended and packed in – and delivered from – offices and a factory in the UK.
  • Both buildings were built to the highest possible energy efficiency standards. The office is built using locally sourced oak beams and handmade tiles.
  • Both also use a biomass boiler for heating, water and welfare facilities, with the boiler being fuelled by sustainable wood from the surrounding estate.
  • We do not use plastic and our packaging is 100% recyclable. We work with our stockists to re-use wholesale packaging as many times as possible.
  • Our fusu tea temples are made from plant-based materials.
