Loose Leaf Black Tea

Black Tea

Aromatic, sweet, strong, seductively delicious, fruity, malty, chocolate, to hints of smoke—all are apt descriptions of our wide selection of black teas.

We source our top grade black teas in various provinces—many of which are made “fresh” or in local style and typically found in the United States. These teas are harvested early in the season, crafted by local farms to offer flavors and aromas often far richer and complex in taste than more widely distributed black teas.

Our black teas are sourced from Fujian, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Yunnan Provinces.
