The Exotic Teapot

It was on a trip to China that we first saw a flowering tea unfurl before our eyes, transforming into a delicate bloom floating in hot water. And the jasmine scented tea was like nectar. We were hooked and knew immediately we wanted to bring these treasures back to the UK. We started the Exotic Teapot over 12 years ago with a commitment to sharing this experience wide & far.

Our specialty teas are not just for connoisseurs, but for all tea lovers to enjoy. Our flowering tea will enhance any occasion with beautiful tea flower designs and many different flavours. Sourced from artisan Chinese tea farms, they are sure to wow all the senses. Our loose leaf teas are carefully selected from all over the world to delight your palate with their exquisite tastes.

Our flowering teas really have the wow factor for the eyes and the taste buds. Fresh flowers like jasmine, Chrysanthemum and tender mao feng green tea buds are skillfully woven together into a ball shaped bloom by experienced Chinese tea masters. When steeped in hot water, the blooming tea flower delicately unfurls to provide a stunning floral display.

Green teas are well known for their many benefits, natural sweetness and vibrant freshness. Made from unoxidised leaves, they are heated shortly after picking to destroy the enzymes that cause oxidation & fermentation. We've sourced some of the finest, Spring harvest teas you'll find anywhere in the world.

We've selected only the highest quailty, most flavourful loose leaf black teas from top estates around the world. We hope you'll experience just how different our classic black and breakfast loose teas like Assam or Earl Grey can taste compared to the dusty tea bags generally on offer in supermarkets.
