Category: CLASSIC BLACK TEAS

Tasting Notes: malty, hearty, earthy

Description:  A strong breakfast blend that is full-bodied and malty with notes of earth, peat moss, and trace hints of smoke. A distinctive and rich tea that we named in honor of the rich history of Long Island's Gold Coast Era.  This tea works well straight up or with milk, sugar, or honey. 

Gold Coast is a bold black tea that's similar to our Scottish Breakfast but with more heaviness and earthiness. A popular black tea that will appeal to people who enjoy a malty and earthy full-bodied black tea. Each sip reveals a round mouth-feel, earthy heaviness, and a faint smokey finish. Notes of black pepper and honey linger. One of our most popular breakfast-style black teas! 

Ingredients: blend of black teas from India and China

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-5 minutes

Emma ★★★★★

I bought this for my morning cup and it's got real backbone, malty and full-bodied without turning bitter when I add a splash of milk. The peaty, earthy finish lingers just enough to notice but doesn't overpower. Exactly the strong breakfast tea I was after.

Aurora N. ★★★★★

This is the first tea in a long time that actually tastes like a meal in a mug. Brews up dark and hearty with that earthy, malty backbone that stands up to milk perfectly, and the faint smoky trace lingers just long enough. My mornings feel properly started now.

Benjamin M. ★★★★★

The peat moss note really comes through—it’s earthy without being overwhelming, and the malty body stands up perfectly to a splash of milk. Brewed it strong this morning and it cut through my fog like nothing else.
