Signature Velora Tea (60g℮)

Velora Tea

Velora Tea is one blend, made well. Whole botanicals, ethically sourced and blended by hand in small batches, drawn from the spiced saffron-tea traditions of Central and South Asia. It is tea made slowly and on purpose, where the quality of each ingredient is allowed to speak.

Green tea forms the base, clean and smooth. Into it we thread freshly ground cardamom, warming cinnamon, bright ginger, and finally AAA-grade Afghan saffron: the gold thread that gives the blend its colour and its name. Every ingredient goes in whole, in its natural form, with no additives, flavourings, oils or carrier agents.

The cup is naturally bold, aromatic and beautifully balanced. Luminous in the glass, warm on the palate, and layered enough to reward a slow morning or a quiet afternoon.

Zari is the gold thread of traditional embroidery; saffron is the thread that runs through this tea. One product, made with care — and 1% of our profits goes to support academics at risk.

Ingredients

Carefully selected botanicals, blended so each one contributes naturally to the character of the cup:

• Saffron — AAA-grade Afghan saffron, prized across Central and South Asian kitchens for its colour, aroma and depth. The luminous gold thread at the heart of the blend.
• Green tea — a smooth, lightly vegetal base that gives the blend structure and balance.
• Cardamom — fragrant and gently sweet, adding warmth and complexity.
• Ginger — bright and invigorating, a subtle lift of spice.
• Cinnamon — rich and comforting, rounding the blend with natural warmth.

All ingredients are used whole and blended in small batches, for consistency from cup to cup.

How to brew

1. Measure — one teaspoon of Velora Tea per cup. As a loose-leaf blend of whole ingredients, use an infuser, strainer or reusable tea bag. (See our brewing guide for more.)
2. Heat — bring fresh water to 80–85°C (176–185°F). Keep it just under the boil to protect the delicate character of the green tea.
3. Steep — pour over the leaves and let it infuse for 3–5 minutes. Steep a little longer for a deeper, more intense cup.
4. Savour — sip slowly and let the aroma unfold. A little honey suits it, if you like.

A slow saffron ritual

Velora Tea is made for the unhurried cup — a focused morning, or a calm afternoon pause. A quiet alternative to mass-produced tea: one blend, whole ingredients, small batches, finished with saffron. Made slowly, and meant to be drunk that way.
