In Sundanese, ieu Bandung téa means “this is Bandung, the very one”. Say it in English and it becomes Bandung tea. That double meaning is where the collection started: five blends, each tied to a place and a time of day in the city.

Morning on Jalan Braga

Bandung Breakfast box

Bandung Breakfast opens the day. Two assamica black teas and one sinensis black tea from Sukabumi, Banten, and Bengkulu give it a full body, softened by vanilla and a sweetness close to palm sugar. The box shows the old Braga quarter, where the city starts its slow breakfast.

Late morning in Cipaganti

Neutger box

Neutger takes its name from haneut (warm) and seger (fresh). Black tea with clove, cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger, for a walk down the leafy street once called Cipaganti, now Jalan R.A.A. Wiranatakusumah.

Five blends, five moments, one city.

After lunch on Jalan ABC

Tiis box

Tiis means cool in Sundanese. After lunch, when the day turns warm and slow, it is the glass of iced tea that brings you back. Oolong with strawberry, goji berry, and osmanthus, inspired by an afternoon in the old Chinatown quarter.

Late afternoon on Jalan Dago

Dago Mint box

Dago Mint is green tea, flowers, and mint: gentle and cooling, for a relaxed late afternoon along Jalan Dago as the day starts to wind down.

Night near Pasupati

Tibera box

Tibera comes from tibra, deep sleep. Chamomile, rose, lavender, and mint close the day, with the lights of the Pasupati flyover in the distance.
