Tì na Sìthiche or “Tea of the Fairies”

A micro batch created in 2025, inspired by the Fair Folk of Tomnahurich, Inverness.

Tomnahurich, often called the Hill of the Fairies, holds a quiet place in Highland lore.
The hill where music stirs in the moss, and those who wander too close may return only to find a century passed.
Named in honour of this enchanted place: a nod to the shimmer, mystery, and gentle greens of the hill.

Hand made by Donald solo in September 2025, this green tea is an exploration of brightness and delicacy.
Imagine a tea that tastes like Autumnal morning light on moss, or the calming whisper of a Highland breeze.
Indulgently creamy, silky, and quietly sweet, a gentle echo of the fair folk it’s named for.
