It's a funny old business ordering a cup of coffee these days. Once it was a matter of choosing black or white but that has long been replaced by a plethora of too-annoying-to-hear-them-ordered-out-loud options.

Feeling slightly exhausted by all those coffee combos the beverage market has now turned its attention to tea. While this may not be news, Leaf - the company that allows you to get on the exotic tea ladder without spending a fortune - is.

Specialising in a large selection of teas - organic blue tea, earl grey with Sicilian bergamot, black tea scented with lychee or rose - Leaf changes its selection every couple of weeks, so you're constantly trying new brews.

But the best part is, teas come in taster sizes (one to three cups, dependant on the tea), in sleek mini metal matchbox containers, so you can sample the day away, without spending a fortune.

And as their rare Chinese yellow tea is almost sold out, and their new glass teapot with leaf stopper just came in, it definitely is Tea Time.
