This is just their Black Tea list, but it's quite complete!
This is the website where I found the address of the new shop in London.

Do you know any of these:

Chinese Black Tea:
The Dragon's Eye Oolong tea (confusing: oolong and black at the same time, could not they make up their mind before posting it? )
Keemun Downy Bud Tea Loose Leaf
Emperors Yunnan Tea
Tong Mu Bohea

House Blends:
Royal Breakfast Loose Leaf
The East India House Directors Blend Loose Leaf

Assam:
The First Estate Assam Loose Leaf
?

That is what I thought, when I saw their prices....especially white teas.
£100 for 100g? Drinking golden dust, this time literally?
