Guisachan Tì Grianach

Tì Grianach means “Sunny Tea” in Gaelic

A tiny one-of-a-kind batch created in 2025, a stepping stone in our journey to crafting Scottish grown green tea.

Created on 22nd August 2025 using modest equipment (yes, a small wok!), Donald set out to make a green tea, another batch of Ti Uaine.
Instead, what emerged was a tea leaning more towards oolong; refreshing, smooth and hints of sweetness reminiscent of a Taiwanese oolong.
Bright Scottish sunshine in your cup.

This batch is extremely limited, only 400g was created, and will not be recreated. An insight into Scotland’s developing tea creations.
