English ~ Organic English Breakfast Tea

Organic ingredient: Orange Pekoe is a premium grade of black tea, traditionally sourced from Ceylon, made from whole, unbroken leaves carefully selected from the uppermost parts of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. This classification reflects not flavouring, but the origin, size, and integrity of the leaf, with Orange Pekoe representing one of the finer grades, valued for its quality, structure, and refinement. As a tea, it offers a clean, bright, and well-rounded infusion with gentle strength and a smooth finish. Naturally containing caffeine, it provides a steady lift in energy and focus without harshness. It is a classic, timeless tea, elegant in its simplicity and deeply satisfying as a daily ritual.

Steep: 1 teaspoon per cup of freshly boiled water for 3-5 minutes and allow the tea leaves to mature & liberate aroma. Enjoy with milk and sweetness or as is.

Quality & Craftsmanship: Our teas and tisanes are produced in small, bespoke batches, hand-crafted in Australia using certified organic, carefully sourced botanicals. Each blend is created with intention, honouring both the integrity of the ingredients and the rituals they support. We are committed to minimal waste and environmental responsibility at every stage. Our cartons are proudly manufactured in Australia from strong, durable cardboard and are 100% recyclable. The cellophane we use is derived from natural cellulose (a glucose polymer sourced from wood, cotton, or hemp) and is fully biodegradable. Our amber glass jars are designed for longevity, reusable, enduring, and protective. Amber glass shields delicate botanicals from light exposure, preserving their potency, aroma, and therapeutic value. Apotheca by Anthia is proudly 100% Australian owned and made.

Natural Variations: Variations in flavour, colour, and texture are a natural reflection of the living ingredients we use. Differences arise from seasonality, soil health, origin, and the cut of each botanical. As small-batch producers, we maintain exceptional quality control, ensuring every blend meets our standards while honouring the inherent diversity of nature. These variations are not flaws, but a testament to authenticity.

Tisane vs Tea: A tisane refers to a herbal infusion made from flowers, leaves, roots, seeds, or fruits, and is naturally caffeine-free. Tea, in the traditional sense, refers specifically to preparations made from the leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. This includes white, green, oolong, black teas and everything in between, all of which naturally contain caffeine in varying amounts.
