Our approach

The smell should only be the start.

The aroma gets your attention. The taste should earn the next cup. That’s what we look for in every blend we choose.

Our standard

We choose for the cup.

We taste blends before they earn a place here. A good first sniff is only the beginning. The flavour has to hold its own once the water goes in.

The catalogue is deliberately varied. Rich cocoa, bright fruit, warming spice and soft florals, with different bases giving each blend its own personality.

We select the blends. You decide which ones become your regulars.

PREMIUM SHOULD SHOW UP IN THE CUP.

01

A BASE WITH CHARACTER

Rukeri from Rwanda. Kaimosi from Kenya. Assam from India. Chinese Sencha, Yunnan, oolong and white teas. South African rooibos and honeybush. Each brings something different to the blend.

02

THE LEAF MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Green tea is heated to limit oxidation. Black tea is oxidised; oolong is partly oxidised. White tea is withered and dried, while Pu Erh undergoes post-fermentation. Different treatments, different cups.

03

FLAVOURS THAT BELONG TOGETHER

Fruit can brighten a cup, spice can give it warmth, and herbs or flowers can add a fresh, aromatic finish. We choose blends for how those flavours work together.

Flavour and clarity

Your taste gets the final say.

Start with the flavours you already love. Then let a different base or an unexpected pairing catch your attention.

Read what’s in the pouch, whether it contains caffeine and how to brew it. A good choice should be an informed one.

You don’t have to become a tea expert. You just have to find your favourite.

Why loose leaf

Make it your strength.

Loose leaf puts the quantity in your hands. Follow the blend’s temperature and steeping time, then adjust the amount next time if you prefer a fuller or lighter cup.

One pouch. Room to find your way.

Your cup. Your call.

A note from the founder.

I have always drunk tea for one simple reason: I enjoy it. Not for its supposed health benefits, and certainly not because I follow a particular ritual.

I have also always preferred loose leaf. I like seeing the ingredients, knowing what goes into my cup and deciding how to prepare it. Tea bags never gave me quite the same feeling.

When I started thinking about RascalTea, I kept coming back to one idea: we remember the names of products we love. Why should tea blends not have identities of their own? I wanted someone to say “Wildcard is my favourite” and know exactly what they meant.

Quality was never up for negotiation. If I was going to create a tea brand, it had to begin with genuinely good ingredients.

And if we were going to do something different with the blends, why stop there? Tea deserves a more interesting way of being presented. RascalTea did not need to follow the same rules, sound like everyone else or take itself quite so seriously.

No elaborate ceremonies. No extraordinary promises. Just tea worth remembering.
