Customers can shop our tea collection online or visit our store in Sliema, Malta.
Discover Our Loose Leaf Tea Collection
Loose leaf tea gives the leaves more room to open and release their aroma during infusion.
Unlike very finely broken tea found in many standard tea bags, loose leaf tea often allows you to see the ingredients clearly. Whole or larger pieces of tea leaf, fruit, flowers, spices and herbs create a more visual and aromatic preparation.
Our loose leaf tea in Malta includes different tea families and flavour profiles, from light green teas to full-bodied black teas and colourful fruit infusions.
Some customers want a clean and traditional cup. Others prefer floral, fruity or naturally sweet flavours. That variety is exactly why we keep a broad tea selection at Greenhouse Malta.
Black Tea in Malta
Black tea offers a deeper colour and a stronger flavour than most green teas.
It works beautifully as a morning drink and pairs well with breakfast, pastries and desserts. You can drink it plain, add milk or prepare it as an iced tea.
One of the best-known examples is English Breakfast tea, a classic choice for people who enjoy a rich and comforting cup.
English Breakfast Tea
English Breakfast remains one of the world's most recognisable tea styles.
Its full flavour makes it ideal for the morning, although you can enjoy it at any time of day. Brew it with hot water and drink it naturally, or add a little milk for a softer finish.
Customers looking for English Breakfast tea in Malta can find it within our Greenhouse Malta tea collection.
A traditional cup does not need to become complicated. Good tea, fresh water and the right brewing time already do most of the work. Humanity has somehow managed to make even boiling leaves sound intimidating, but thankfully the actual process remains wonderfully simple.
Green Tea in Malta
Green tea offers a fresher and lighter flavour profile.
Depending on the variety, you may notice vegetal, grassy, floral, nutty or lightly sweet notes. Water temperature plays an important role because boiling water can make delicate green tea unnecessarily bitter.
For most green teas, slightly cooler water gives a smoother result.
Our collection includes Chun Mee green tea, an established style that appeals to customers who enjoy a more traditional green tea flavour.
Chun Mee Green Tea
Chun Mee tea is a well-known Chinese green tea with a distinctive character.
The name refers to the curved shape of the tea leaves. When brewed correctly, Chun Mee gives a clear and refreshing cup with a lively green tea flavour.
It works well as a simple hot tea, but you can also prepare it cold or use it as a base for homemade iced tea.
If you are searching for green tea in Malta, Chun Mee offers an interesting alternative to flavoured blends and gives you a more classic tea experience.
Jasmine Pearls Tea
Jasmine pearls combine tea craftsmanship with a delicate floral aroma.
The leaves form small pearls that slowly open during infusion. This makes preparing the tea part of the experience itself.
Jasmine tea offers a fragrant and elegant cup that works particularly well after meals or during a quiet afternoon.
Our jasmine pearls in Malta appeal to customers looking for something more refined than ordinary flavoured tea.
The floral character should complement the tea rather than completely overpower it. Proper brewing helps preserve that balance.
Herbal Tea and Herbal Infusions
Not every infusion contains traditional tea leaves.
Herbal tea commonly refers to drinks made from herbs, flowers, roots, spices or other botanicals. Many herbal infusions naturally contain no caffeine, although the exact ingredients always matter.
Our herbal tea collection in Malta includes blends with different flavour profiles, from light and floral to warm and aromatic.
Herbal teas work particularly well in the evening or whenever you want an alternative to black or green tea.
They also offer huge variety. Mint, flowers, fruit, spices and herbs can completely change the character of a cup.
Fruit Tea in Malta
Fruit tea brings colour, aroma and naturally fruity flavours to the cup.
Our collection includes blends with ingredients such as apple, berries, cherry, tropical fruits, flowers and spices.
You can drink fruit tea hot, but it also makes an excellent base for iced tea.
That versatility makes fruit blends particularly useful in Malta. During cooler months, they create a warming drink. During summer, you can chill the same infusion and serve it over ice.
Some of our most distinctive blends combine fruit with flowers or spices to create a more complex flavour than a simple single-fruit infusion.
Grandma's Cherry Cake Tea
Our Grandma's Cherry Cake blend offers a rich fruity character built around cherry notes.
The blend creates a comforting and aromatic cup that stands apart from traditional black or green tea.
It works well hot, but customers can also experiment with a stronger brew served cold over ice.
Fruit-based tea blends like this one appeal to people who want flavour without relying on the traditional taste of tea leaves.
Garden Exotique
Garden Exotique brings together colourful ingredients and an exotic flavour profile.
It offers another direction within our fruit and herbal collection for customers who enjoy aromatic blends rather than classic tea alone.
Serve it warm for a comforting cup or chill the infusion for a fresh summer drink.
Flamingo Tea
Our Flamingo blend adds another colourful and distinctive option to the Greenhouse Malta tea range.
It works particularly well for customers who enjoy fruit-forward teas and want something different from traditional black or green varieties.
Presentation also forms part of the loose leaf tea experience. Seeing the pieces of fruit, petals and botanicals before brewing creates a connection with the ingredients that ordinary powdered tea bags rarely provide.
Kiss & Love Tea
Kiss & Love is one of our signature tea blends.
Its colourful ingredients and aromatic character make it a memorable choice for customers looking for an original fruit or herbal infusion.
It can work beautifully as a hot tea, but chilled preparation also opens another side of the flavour.
Rooibos Tea in Malta
Rooibos comes from a South African plant rather than the traditional tea plant.
It naturally contains no caffeine and offers a smooth, slightly sweet character.
That makes rooibos tea an interesting option for customers who want a warm evening drink without choosing a conventional caffeinated tea.
You can drink rooibos on its own or enjoy blends that combine it with fruit, vanilla, spices or other aromatic ingredients.
Blue Lotus Flowers
Our collection also includes blue lotus flowers for customers interested in unusual botanical infusions.
Blue lotus stands apart visually from traditional loose leaf tea. The dried flowers create a striking product and offer a different botanical experience.
Customers can prepare them as an infusion according to the product instructions.
We present blue lotus primarily as a botanical product and infusion ingredient rather than making exaggerated health promises. The internet already produces enough miraculous claims before breakfast.
If you are looking for blue lotus flowers in Malta, you can find them at Greenhouse Malta in Sliema.
Hot Tea or Iced Tea?
Tea does not need to belong exclusively to winter.
In Malta, iced tea makes enormous sense for much of the year.
Fruit blends, green tea, black tea and herbal infusions can all work cold when you prepare them correctly.
How to Make Iced Tea
Start by brewing your chosen tea slightly stronger than usual.
Let it cool, then pour it over ice.
You can add fresh fruit, citrus, mint or a small amount of sweetener according to your taste.
For a softer result, prepare the tea in advance and chill it in the refrigerator instead of pouring very hot tea directly over large amounts of ice.
Green tea, fruit tea and jasmine tea all make excellent cold drinks.
Customers looking for iced tea in Malta can therefore use many of the same loose leaf teas that they already enjoy hot.
How to Brew Loose Leaf Tea
The correct brewing method depends on the tea.
Black tea generally handles hotter water and a longer infusion better than delicate green tea.
Green tea usually benefits from cooler water.
Herbal and fruit infusions often need more time because larger pieces of fruit, herbs and flowers release flavour more slowly.
As a simple starting point, use approximately one teaspoon of tea per cup and adjust according to the product and your preferred strength.
Do not assume that leaving every tea in boiling water for fifteen minutes will magically create more quality. Eventually, you are simply extracting everything the leaf ever wanted to keep private.
Water Temperature for Tea
Water temperature can completely change the final taste.
Black Tea
Use hot water, generally around 90–100°C.
Green Tea
Use cooler water, generally around 70–85°C, depending on the variety.
Herbal Tea
Most herbal infusions work well with hot water close to boiling.
Fruit Tea
Fruit infusions usually tolerate high temperatures and longer brewing times.
Using the correct temperature helps preserve flavour and prevents unnecessary bitterness.
How Long Should Tea Brew?
Brewing time matters just as much as temperature.
A delicate green tea may only need a few minutes.
Black tea usually needs slightly longer.
Fruit and herbal blends often require more time to fully release their flavour.
Always start with the recommended preparation and then adjust according to your taste.
A stronger cup does not always require more tea. Sometimes a little extra brewing time gives you exactly what you want.
Loose Leaf Tea vs Tea Bags
Both formats can make tea, but they offer different experiences.
Loose leaf tea gives the ingredients room to expand and often allows you to inspect the quality directly.
You can see the tea leaves, petals, fruit pieces and herbs rather than receiving an anonymous cloud of brown dust hidden inside paper.
Tea bags remain practical, especially when you need speed or portability.
The right choice depends on your routine, but customers who enjoy flavour, aroma and preparation often prefer loose tea leaves.
How to Store Tea
Correct storage protects the aroma and flavour of your tea.
Keep tea away from:
- direct sunlight
- humidity
- heat
- strong smells
- open air
A sealed tin or suitable airtight container works well.
Tea absorbs odours easily, so storing it next to strongly scented spices or food can change its character.
Keep loose leaf tea dry. Moisture can damage the ingredients and dramatically shorten their useful life.
Does Tea Contain Caffeine?
Traditional tea comes from the tea plant and naturally contains caffeine.
This includes black tea and green tea.
The actual amount varies according to the tea, quantity, water temperature and brewing time.
Many herbal and fruit infusions contain no caffeine when their ingredients do not include tea leaves or other naturally caffeinated plants.
Rooibos also naturally contains no caffeine.
Customers who want to reduce caffeine should always check the ingredients of each blend rather than assuming that every product labelled “herbal” works in exactly the same way.
Choosing the Right Tea
There is no single best tea for everyone.
If you enjoy stronger traditional flavours, try English Breakfast.
If you prefer fresh green tea, Chun Mee offers a classic option.
For floral notes, explore jasmine pearls.
If you want colourful and aromatic drinks, fruit and herbal blends provide much more variety.
Rooibos offers a naturally caffeine-free alternative, while blue lotus gives botanical enthusiasts something unusual to discover.
The best approach is simply to explore different families until you find the flavours you genuinely enjoy.
Tea for Morning, Afternoon and Evening
Different teas naturally suit different moments.
A strong black tea works beautifully with breakfast.
Green tea can provide a fresh drink during the day.
Jasmine tea creates a lighter and more aromatic afternoon cup.
Fruit tea makes an excellent hot or iced drink.
Rooibos and many caffeine-free herbal infusions suit the evening.
Nothing forces you to follow those rules, of course. If you want English Breakfast at 10 p.m., civilisation will survive.
Tea Gifts in Malta
Loose leaf tea also makes an easy and elegant gift.
Our colourful tins and tea varieties allow customers to create gifts around different tastes.
You can choose traditional tea for someone who already loves tea, or select a fruit, floral or botanical blend for someone who enjoys trying something different.
Tea also works well as part of a larger gift with matcha, coffee, vanilla or accessories from Greenhouse Malta.
