Zomba Pearls - 40g- Loose Leaf
This white tea is hand rolled and has a striking profile. Each pearl is created by harvesting a whole-leaf then painstakingly rolling it into a tightly-wrapped pearl followed by carefully drying the pearls in the sun. The tea is truly a labour of love! Due to sun-drying, Zomba Pearls can only be crafted in at limited times, on clear and sunny days. The pearls unfurl beautifully in hot water. The leaves yield countless infusions, with flavours unfolding and developing with each steep.Only 20 kg is produced each year of this unique tea.

Ready to join the Tea Rebellion? If you like the sound of impeccable teas and fair pay for their producers, the answer is yes.
With a nod to the Boston Tea Party in the name, this social enterprise is using tea to protest. Their demand is simple: a more transparent, sustainable industry that works for farmers and delivers great taste to drinkers.
Tea Rebellion leads by example. Their bold and pure range is sourced from a handful of smallholders and cooperatives through direct trade, empowering farmers with fair wages and bargaining power.
This approach helps Tea Rebellion build strong and united partnerships with their producers. Together they do more than just create award-winning teas – the social enterprise also supports community initiatives that help farmers become ever-more sustainable and resilient.
Just as much time and care goes into selecting the most flavourful teas, which is why they’ve scooped no less than 21 industry awards. Whether you prefer a loose leaf or tea bags, these will take your tea appreciation to new levels.
Whichever Tea Rebellion products you end up sampling, they’ll arrive in 100% recyclable and compostable packaging.
