Lily's Tea

A SHORT HISTORY OF LILY'S TEA:

Black Bohea” is an old name for tea from a mountain region in Fujian Province called Bohea (known as WuYi in Mandarin) in the south east of China. For centuries, the finest leaf teas have been produced in the WuYi area. Due to the climate and high attitude in the WuYi Mountains, teas produced in this area are famous for their distinctive flavours and superior quality. The people from Fujian province are renowned as the most knowledgeable and sophisticated tea drinkers in China.

Lily Chen is originally from the Fujian province where she was reared on quality leaf tea. Over the years she has developed a strong passion for quality tea served in the most natural way. Lily is now settled in Termonfeckin, Co. Louth with Dominick and their two children.

100% PLASTIC FREE TEA

Our Tea is 100% plastic Free. The news that 96% of Irish Teabags contain plastic has caused huge concern among the Irish tea lovers. However rest assured our pyramids and string are made from corn starch, a natural material extracted from corn, and everything is heat-sealed so no glue is used at all. They are bio-degradable, which means they need to go into your food waste collection, and will degrade in 12 weeks.

Over the last two years we have taken over 80% of plastic, and 20% of the cardboard out of our packaging, and we’re working towards 100% plastic free as the technology improves.
