HOW DID OUR TEAS WIN A GOLD TASTE AWARD?
The Novus range is an award-winning tea brand that has won gold stars for its taste and quality. The process of being judged for this is typically through a judging panel at Great taste, members of said panels usually include Michelin-starred chefs, food writers and critics as well as buyers from the likes of Whole Foods Market and Fortnum & Mason, and many other people and organisations who can speak with some authority on the taste and quality of beverages. To achieve one gold star, all 15 judges have to return a verdict that the product is exceptional, a stern test for any product indeed. To have achieved not only double gold star but even triple gold star awards show that these products are truly an outstanding example of their type.
WOOD PULP RETAIL BOXES!
Available in the full Novus range we have a selection of retail teas (6×15 pyramid boxes). These make a fantastic gift to put in a hamper or simply to take pride of place in your tea rooms, deli or farm shop!
Free point of sale equipment and accessories
If you decide to use us for your tea supplies, there is a wide range of professionally made branded point-of-sale accessories and general tea equipment that we can offer to go with your new range of great-tasting Novus tea. We also supply tea caddies which are the ideal way to display your teas on a shelf or tabletop, with stickers of your specific flavours applied to each tin. Not only do these tins look sleek and eye-catching, they’re the perfect dark cool storage for your teas.

Here is a list of drinks we’ve made at Arden using the Novus Organic Tsuki Matcha mixed with a few other commonplace cafe/tea room ingredients to help you experiment for yourself!
White Hot Chocolate Matcha
Start with 1 Scoop of White Chocolate Powder or a press of a Monin White Sauce bottle, and add a small amount of the Matcha powder with a tablespoon. Mix this with a hand whisk to create a paste, add some milk, and use the steam arm on your traditional Coffee Machine to heat and mix this up with the paste to create the drink.

Turmeric Citrus – another sensational health option
Turmeric Citrus tea is another one of the Novus products that we recommend for those looking for a healthy tea with a lot of benefits to go along with its sensational taste. Turmeric is a very powerful antioxidant as well as having anti-inflammatory effects, and it can help relieve joint pains including those caused by arthritis. The blend we provide also contains matcha as well so all the health benefits of matcha mentioned above can be found in this product.
The turmeric and matcha are blended with lemon, ginger, and orange to balance the intense flavours, creating a great-tasting balance for a very enjoyable tea.
