Blended by hand in Gloucestershire.
Flint & Brew is loose leaf tea made for being outside. It's a strong, honest brew for the camp stove, the fireside or the flask at the top of the hill.
Three blends, in 100g pouches. Loose leaf, made for milk, mixed in small batches.
First batch being blended now
How to brew
A mug, boiling water, four minutes.
Every blend is tested the way it's meant to be drunk: on a stove, outside, with milk. If it doesn't hold up there, it doesn't make the cut.
The leaf
One heaped teaspoon (about 2.5g) per mug. That's a proper mug, not a thimble.
The water
Freshly boiled. Don't let the kettle sit and sulk.
The wait
Four minutes. Walk to the gate and back if you need something to do.
The milk
Add milk. These blends are made for it.
On a camp stove: same ratios. Wind will cool the mug faster than your kitchen does, so don't dawdle.
In a flask: brew it strong, milk in the flask if that's how you take it, and drink it on the hill. It will still taste like tea when you get there.
