Black Peppercorns

Black pepper is produced from the still-green, unripe drupes of the pepper plant. The drupes are cooked briefly in hot water, both to clean them and to prepare them for drying. The heat ruptures cell walls in the pepper, speeding the work of browning enzymes during drying. The drupes dry in the sun or by machine for several days, during which the pepper skin around the seed shrinks and darkens into a thin, wrinkled black layer. Once dry, the spice is called black peppercorn. On some estates, the berries are separated from the stem by hand and then sun-dried without the boiling process.

Once the peppercorns are dried, pepper spirit and oil can be extracted from the berries by crushing them. Pepper spirit is used in many medicinal and beauty products. Pepper oil is also used as an ayurvedic massage oil and in certain beauty and herbal treatments.

A selection of highly aromatic teas and spices in heat sealed packaging. Far superior in quality than supermarket alternatives with minimal potency. I would highly recommend this swap over.

King of Jasmine Tea

Enchanting appearance and aroma. Lightly fragrant and delicate on the palate the strength that I made and soooooo refreshing. Will be back for more in due course. The Oolong makes an ideal complement to the Jasmine. Delightful.

Terrible and non existent customer service

Absolutely no way to get hold of this company, they don’t reply to any emails to any email address. Shipping states it is dispatched within 24 hours of order being made via 24/48 hour Royal Mail. Order took more than 10 days to arrive and wasn’t dispatched until over a week after order being made. Not possible to make contact with any staff whatsoever

Stinging nettle roots

Excellent product, thank you!

tasty tea + excellent service = repeat custom

I was looking to try a new Oolong tea and this one hit the spot taste wise. And DG's service can't be faulted. My tea was despatched the day I ordered it and arrived the following day.

Earl Grey Tea

Your tea is always lovely and delivery is prompt. I've given you a 4 star rating only because the larger packets are never available so I have to buy a few smaller packets.

Review

First time ordering, first of to many sticks in mix and very very sticky, not the the best marshmallow Leaf I've had,

Good product - but not the same as saffron

1st time I've tried this product following a suggestion from YouTube. Looks similar to saffron, but the colours don't infuse anything like the same. Will continue experimenting with this product which is a significant driver in my case.

Great tea delivered quickly

This is my go to tea when I have five minutes to myself. It really hits the spot.

Wonderful

Excellent experience all round. Many thanks.

Great!

Very happy with purchase. Great item.
