Our founder, Katherine, grew up on the edge of the Peak District. With a love of nature, art, music, and fantasy, the woodlands, moorlands, edges, and peaks all provided inspiration for the fantasy world she began to create.

After decorating her garden as a room in an Elven Fairy Castle, and placing in it a Thone for a mythical Monarch, Katherine became the Elven Fairy Queen.

She began making tea blends and infusions as presents for her friends - drawing influence from their interests and personalities for both the blends and characters that the teas and infusions were named after. Encouraged by these friends, she started selling them in 2022.

Originally known as The Fairy Castle Throne Room, named after the room Katherine had created in her garden, Elven Fairy Teas initially had two collections - the Monarch Collection and the Courtiers Collection. Friends have continued to fuel Katherine's creativity and influence the blends and characters she brings to life within the Elven Fairy Kingdom, and as such has increased the variety of tea blends and infusions available to buy.

We pride ourselves in making quality blends using quality ingredients.

Black Teas 

Darjeeling - The leaf of this tea is coppery brown with silver tips, producing a bolder liquor and has a strong characteristic taste of musky muscatel grapes.

Ceylon Black - The intensely black, long and wiry leaves produce a full-bodied liquor which leaves a sweetish after taste.

Assam - When brewed, the liquor is particularly light, brisk, and aromatic.

Lapsang Souchong - This tea has a strong, crisp, smokey taste.

Earl Grey - Blend of Assam and Ceylon teas with bergamot and a sprinkling of orange blossoms making for a light but full bodied tea with notes of maltiness perfectly blending alongside the citrus of the bergamot and floral lingering notes of orange blossom.

Green Teas

Sencha - This tea has a rich vegetal flavour and aroma with moderate bitterness and a slight nutty quality with a deep aftertaste. Sencha has both small and larger leaf particles. This gives the Sencha a fuller body than many other green teas.

Gunpowder Green - This tea creates a refreshing bright pale yellow infusion with a light green tint, full of vegetal, earthy and misty flavours.

Infusions 

Raspberry Leaf - A mild taste with grassy and woodsy notes without the bitterness. 

Chamomile - Floral with wonderful apple like notes.

Peppermint - A refreshing tea with fresh menthol aroma.

Herbal Teas

Yerba Mate - Mate is strongly vegetal, herbal, and grassy, reminiscent of some varieties of green tea with hints of tobacco and oak.

Our recommended brewing temperatures for our teas and infusions are as follows:

Black teas - 90 to 98C

Green teas - around 80C

Infusions - 90 to 98C

With a 5 star hygiene rating from the UK Food Standards Agency, Elven Fairy Teas provides high quality teas and infusions.

Although many people do find health benefits from ingredients found in our teas and infusions, we don't make any health or medical claims about any of our products.

It is recommended that Chamomile and Raspberry Leaf are avoided by pregnant women due to the possiblity they can cause uterine contractions. The U.S. National Institutes of Health also recommends that people with ragworth allergy or people taking blood thinners should avoid chamomile infusions.

Our products are made in a kitchen that also handles allegens such as nuts, dairy, and milk. Therefore, even though our products don't themselves contain allegens unless specifically stated, we cannot guarantee that they are made in an allegen free environment.

We want to ensure that we use ingredients that are ethically sourced. We get our main tea and infusion ingredients from an award-winning fine tea social enterprise who strongly believe in sustainability and who have committed to help improve the lives of tea growing communities in impoverished tea growing regions of the world.

We also try to care for the environment, and as such use recycled packing when preparing parcels for posting out our teas and infusions. This in no way compromises the quality of our products, but means that we can do our bit to help cut down on unnecessary waste.

We're thrilled here at Elven Fairy Teas to work with some incredible people.
