Bramah Indian and Ceylon Teas
Bramah Speciality House Blend
Assam and Darjeeling leaf teas designed to introduce the modern
tea drinker to the taste of the very best of orthodox leaf
tea of fifty years ago. Production of these teas has never
ceased, but demand for the different kind of teas in teabags
has drastically reduced it. The blend is made from the top
two leaves and a bud, plucked at the best time of the year.
The taste has an incomparable smoothness and flavour.

Price:
Bramah Darjeeling Flowery Orange Pekoe
The tea grown in the Darjeeling gardens is so good that its
entire production is still reserved today for orthodox leaf
tea. Darjeeling is famous for tasting like muscatel (the skin
of a grape), and is known as the 'champagne' of teas. Our
blend is made up of a selection from several different gardens
to achieve an incomparable flavour.
The word 'Orange' incidentally is an indication of quality
and has no connection to flavour whatsoever.

Price:
Bramah Assam Broken Orange Pekoe Assam teas are famous for their rich, malty flavour and
are the basis of English breakfast tea, giving you a good
start to the day. All the Assam gardens used to make up this
blend are of the best quality. There is a difference between
this tea and the tea you get in tea bags.
Qty: 125 g
Price:
Bramah Ceylon Broken Orange Pekoe
Many Ceylon (Sri Lanka) gardens have gone over entirely to
production of faster infusing teas, but few in the Dimbula
district from which our blend comes still produce orthodox
tea. This blend has a tangerine-like flavour inherent to traditional
Ceylon that can only be released in a five-minute infusion.
It is an ideal accompaniment for English afternoon tea.
Qty: 125 g
Price:
Bramah Traditional Leaf Blend
This is an eclectic blend drawn not only form Indian and
Ceylon teas but from Indonesian and African gardens that
are still producing orthodox tea. This skillfully blended
tea is milder than the fully flavoured teas above. This
blend can be enjoyed at any time of the day.

Bramah China Black Teas
Banks Earl Grey
Bergamot oil from the citrus fruit grown in the Calabria district
in Italy had become popular in the 18th and 19th centuries
as a flavouring for gin and snuff. It was brought to Joseph
Banks attention who is known to have experimented with flavourings.
He is credited with adding it to tea and it was most likely
given the name Earl Grey since he was the popular Prime Minister
of the time.

Bramah Kai Lung Keemun
This fine grade tea coming from the Anhwei Province of North
China, has a thick, sappy liquor and a rich aroma and flavour.
Our blend is called 'Kai Lung' after the fictional Chinese
storyteller Ernest Bramah. There was tremendous interest in
all things Chinese in the 20th century.
Qty: 125 g
Price:
Bramah Lapsang Souchong
This tea from South China is rich and syrupy with a characteristic
smoky flavour. This is achieved through being cured in smoke
from white pinewood. The Souchong leaf is almost dead black,
large, loose in style and slightly cured. It was most popular
in the 1870s and it is known to have been shipped in the Clippers
'Cutty Sark' and 'Flying Cloud'.

Price:
Bramah Rose Congu
This is a light-tasting, sweet China tea flavoured with rose
petals. Like many other China teas it is usually enjoyed without
milk as a refreshing drink.
Qty: 125 g
Price:
Bramah China Green Teas
Bramah Gunpowder
This is the name given to the highest-grade of China, green,
unfermented tea with a fresh, subtle flavour. It was originally
marketed in many sub-grades. Bramah Gunpowder is a good representative
grade, made from young to medium leaves, rolled into pellets,
which open to a postage stamp size when infused.
Qty: 125 g
Price:
Bramah Jasmine Deluxe
Jasmine tea is served in many Chinese restaurants around the
world. Originally jasmine flowers were added as a means of
enhancing light liquoring tea. Its delicate taste would be
destroyed by the addition of milk or sugar.

Bramah Formosa Oolong
Bramah Formosa Oolong
Oolongs are semi-fermented teas i.e. halfway between black
and green tea. The best quality, which traditionally comes
from Formosa (Taiwan), has an attractive amber colour. With
their intensely pungent fruity flavour they are something
of an acquired taste.

Price:
Bramah Japanese Tea
Bramah Japanese Sencha
Japan green teas are the 'white wines' of tea, as different
from Congou and Oolong as Sauvignon is from Burgundy. These
teas are not meant to infuse in the pot for more than 60 seconds,
so they make a perfect alternative to tea bag tea for those
needing an instant drink. Now becoming better known outside
Japan, this tea currently shows the fastest expansion of any
type of green tea in the world. The museum is proud through
the Edward Bramah Museum Café, to have an association
with Kakagowa the tea growing area of Shishouka, Japan.

Ground Coffee
All our coffees are roasted, ground and sealed

Bramah Kenya AA
This is the blend that Edward Bramah perfected during
the time that he was working in Africa for Kenya Coffee
Auctions Ltd. It has a delightfully nutty and fruity
flavour balanced with good body and acidity.
Paradoxically this coffee is equally supreme at morning
or evening time.
Qty: 250 g
Price:
Bramah Colombian Excelso
This is the all-time favourite coffee of the USA. The
Bramah Medellin Excelso is light medium roasted to
emphasise its rounded, nutty flavour.
Qty: 250 g
Price:
Bramah Costa Rica
The Costa Rica bean, special to Central America, is
larger than normal, producing a particularly rich and
fruity flavour.
Qty: 250 g
Price:
Bramah Ethiopian
This 'antique' blend combines a gamey Mocha coffee
from Ethiopia, the original home of coffee, with a
creamy Mysore from South India, where Muslim rulers
planted coffee as early as 1600. Truly this coffee
really does have wine-like character.
Qty: 250 g
Price:
Bramah Java Special
A rich, spicy coffee from the volcanic soils of
Indonesia, this blend is low in acidity but full of body
and character. Perhaps, an acquired taste.
