For us, the thought of a warm
cuppa transports us to a land of
comfort and peace, whilst a cool
jug of iced tea finds us basking in
the sun on a hot summer’s day. We
visualise quality moments spent
with loved ones or the gracious
drift of our daydreams.
A belief in the harmony between
person and tea cup, in individuality
and expression. We celebrate this
special bond through the artistry
of our own blends of tea and
creativity.
This is the essence of XO Tea.
After venturing the world in the
quest for a deeper understanding
of tea and all it represents, XO Tea
founders Arjun and Peter returned
with a desire to give the many
varieties of tea their own unique
voice. “Our experience shaped
the way we employ creativity
and colour to portray our teas’
individuality; in the hope that
our teas will take you on a journey
of your own”.
Tea is a personal ritual for each
individual and is experienced
through a vast array of colourful
ingredients and apparatuses all
over the world. After venturing
to the remote tea estates around
the world, talking to tea makers
and tasting expansive varieties
and grades, we developed an
appreciation of tea that was
radically different from the norm.
We found that each tea has its own
character—one that the traditional
representation lacked. These
experiences have shaped the way
we use creativity and colour to
portray our teas’ individuality, and
we hope each of our varieties will
take you on a journey to show you
‘nothing is ever black and white,
there is always colour’.
Nothing is ever black and white, there is always colour.

we believe that you get back
what you put in. We are always
searching for ways to give back

sense of local pride within our
company. We engage farmers,
businesses and other like-minded
organisations to help us develop
the XO brand. The introduction
of biodegradable pyramid tea

The finest pure teas are grown
and harvested at high elevations
usually about 3000ft and as high
as 10,000 ft. All black, green,
white, oolong and pu-erh teas
come from two varietals of the
Camellia plant “sinensis” and
“assamica”. However different cultivars
within that family produce a variety
of teas styles. Teas are harvested
at various times of the year, mostly
due to latitude, during a “flush”
after a period of dormancy, or
careful pruning.
The young shoots secrete rich
aromatic compounds that give
characteristic flavour. Only the
newest shoots and bud are
harvested. Like wine, tea is directly
influenced by the terroir/land/
region.
Every tea leaf contains over 400
chemical elements. Of these, the
three most important to the tea
drinker are:
1. Polyphenols/Flavenols:
influence the antioxidant
properties as well as
astringency, smoothness and
bitterness.
2. Caffeine/Alkaloids: stimulates
the nervous system
3. Essential Oils: provide the
distinct flavour profile of
the tea. It is a common
misconception that all black
teas are high in caffeine,
and all white teas are low in
caffeine. In fact, a mediocre
black tea, light bodied with
a dark liquor can be lower in
caffeine than a high-quality
white tea that produces a
complex aromatic pale brew.
Tea is cultivated throughout many regions of the world including China, Japan, India, Nepal, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Korea, Indonesia and Africa.
