Excellent served with breakfast and re-fresher tea anytime during the day.
Yunnan Black: grown in the high plateau of Yunnan Province, our Yunnan Black is robust, husky sweet aromas and notes of malt and spice. Crafted in the Dian Hong style of black teas, the thick leaves are speckled with golden buds giving your cup sweet, creamy notes. Excellent tea served for breakfast and always refreshing!
Honey Orchid: a customer favorite, this Fujian-grown Mao Feng cultivar steeps to bright, coppery & clean flavors. The perfect third tea for our set is thick black and gold leaves, spring harvested, then basket-fired to marbled flavors - hints of molasses, caramel, and a light fruity note. Sure to satisfy and refresh!

Black Tea
Add 30 seconds for each successive steep — flavors evolve.
Black tea is a leaf that has been fully oxidized. This rigorous oxidization produces a tea of hearty rich flavors while reducing its astringency and bringing out a natural sweetness.
Flavors will range from bright, brisk, peppery, clean, and smoky to aromatic, bold, malty, nutty, spicy, and sweet. Blacks are known for long, delicately aromatic, and comforting aftertastes. Note, they are often enjoyed with milk or sweetener.
