COLOUR AGAINST THE WEATHER
Pineapple, hibiscus and coconut for rooms currently losing to grey.
A tropical red infusion that changes the view from the kitchen table.
The story
Outside: one uninterrupted shade of British opinion. Inside the pot: hibiscus red, pineapple gold and coconut at the edge. The walls remain where they are. They simply stop winning.
What this actually is
A loose fruit infusion with hibiscus, apple, pineapple, rose hip, grated coconut, coconut chips and aroma. It brews tart and red, with tropical fruit sweetness and coconut at the finish.
