OUR TEAS: SHOP TEAS AUSTRALIA
Yahava’s premium leaf teas arrive in Australia from some of the world’s great tea estates, ready to drink. Unlike coffee, there is no further processing required to preserve the natural flavour and aroma of the tea leaves; they are simply checked for quality and then bagged ready for use. At Yahava, we have different types of black tea, green tea, white tea and herbal tea to cater to both tea connoisseurs and first-time tea drinkers.
With a call for convenience and the popularity of tea bags, we have created ‘silk purse tea bags’ incorporating high-grade, premium leaf tea for tea lovers throughout Australia. Unlike many traditional tea bags, the quality of our ‘full leaf’ ‘silk-purse’ tea bags is guaranteed to be satisfying and flavoursome. The inert nature of the ‘silk purse’ does not taint or alter our tea’s delicate flavours. With Yahava’s ‘full leaf’ tea bags, you can now enjoy the ease of a teabag with all the flavour of a premium leaf
tea.
Our selection of 12 teas covers a little something of everything. The range of Green Tea, White Tea, Herbal Tea, or Black Tea caters to the most popular of the classic tea colours (each one, the product of a slightly different harvest and oxidation
process).
Black Teas
Black tea comes from the leaves of Camellia Sinensis and is created by oxidising the freshly picked tea leaves until they turn black, before they are then dried. Oxidation enhances the flavour, strength and body of the leaves which releases more caffeine than you will find in other teas, giving black tea its strong stimulating character. Amongst our black teas, you will find the classic English Brekky alongside flavoured teas such as Earl Grey and Caramel Tea.
Green Teas
Green tea is enjoying rising popularity. Green Teas are ‘fired’ to prevent them from oxidising as with black teas and as a result, they display lighter more delicate flavours. Made from the leaves of Camellia Sinensis, green tea is processed by first steaming and pan-frying the leaves before they are then dried. In this range, we have Sencha and also two flavoured teas, Vanilla and Rose, all prized for their health qualities as well as their sweet floral flavours.
White Teas
White Tea also comes from the leaves of Camellia Sinensis, but unlike other varieties of tea from this plant, the buds of Camellia Sinensis are picked just before they fully open, specifically when the buds still have white hairs on them. White Tea, like Peony, tastes smoother and sweeter compared to other green teas. Aged white tea also smells like rice and other dried seeds, while young white tea smells like fresh grass.
Herbal Teas
Although not strictly a tea, herbal infusions throughout history have been coveted for their medicinal as well as their ‘social lubricating’ properties. Herbal Teas can include a variety of dried and fresh flowers, fruits, leaves, seeds and other spices. Our dried Herbal Tea ranges from the most popular herbal beverages, Peppermint, Chamomile and Rooibos, to the ancient and delicious Masala Chai, (although commonly considered a herbal tea, it contains black tea).
Premium Leaf Tea – One of the Best Teas in Australia
A lot of coffee drinkers are also lovers of tea. From the beginning, we have had a range of teas that are sourced and procured with the same enthusiasm and thoroughness we apply to our coffee searches. Like our range of Yahava coffees, we source our teas only from the world’s finest gardens. Our range of leaf teas falls into four distinct categories: Black Teas, Green Teas, White Teas and Herbal Teas or herbal infusions.
All tea comes from the growing leaf tips of a bush called Camellia Sinensis and like coffee, tea thrives in hot, humid, tropical climates away from direct sunlight. The major difference between the variety of teas are the degrees and types of processing that are undertaken and the timing of the harvests.

SHOP TEA AUSTRALIA FAQS
Are Your Teas Available As Loose Leaf Tea Or In Tea Bags?
Four of Yahava’s 12 premium loose leaf teas also come in tea bags – (English Brekky, Earl Grey, Jasmine Green and Peppermint). When you buy premium tea or tea in Australia from Yahava, you can select between 25 Silk Purse Tea Bags or 50,100,125 and 250-gram packs of loose leaf teas depending on the variety, (weights vary due to tea type).
How Long Should I Steep My Tea?
For Black Tea, we suggest steeping it in 90°c hot water for 3-4 minutes, but you can experiment to find the flavour profile you most enjoy. Green Tea brewing times are slightly shorter at around 2 minutes. White Tea should only be steeped for 2 minutes, especially if you want to extract the delicate flavour. Dried Herbal tea should be steeped for around 2 to 3 minutes but you can alter these brewing times to find the tea strength and flavour that you like best. If you require the proper equipment to steep your tea, we recommend the Zero Teapot & Infuser as well as the Handybrew Tea & Coffee Maker from Yahava’s online shop. Add to cart now!
