Tasting Notes: smooth refined black tea

Description: An outstanding blend of sophisticated black teas. We've blended the most classic Chinese and Indian teas together for a blend that is classic with an air of refinement. The pleasant astringent Darjeeling notes balance the red wine burgundy notes of the Keemun.

Rich and pleasantly astringent with subtle notes of red wine, earth, flowers, and smoke. This black tea is meant to be enjoyed straight up. If you enjoy our English Breakfast Tea, we recommend this one as well.

Ingredients: organic blend of Darjeeling black tea and Keemun black tea

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-4 minutes

Brewed a cup this morning and the balance between the Chinese and Indian teas is perfect—neither one overpowers. The flavor stays rich even as it cools, which is rare for a black tea. Definitely my new go-to for a quiet afternoon.

I've been drinking this every morning for two weeks and the smoothness really stands out — no bitterness even when I accidentally oversteep it. The mix of Chinese and Indian leaves gives it a nice rounded depth. Only gripe is that it keeps selling out, so I've started buying two tins at a time.

The smoothness really stands out compared to other black teas I've tried—no bitterness at all. I just wish it wasn't sold out so often, because this has become my go-to morning cup.
