To mark our special anniversary year in 2024, we sourced four unique teas that were introduced throughout the year to thank you for your continued support. We invite you to sample and enjoy these outstanding teas!
The long, dark, wiry leaves yield a complex, hearty liquor with a velvety smooth mouth feel. The fragrant aroma reveals layers of cinnamon, raisin, fig, vanilla, and plum, which harmonize with notes of bread pudding, baked apple, and a subtle malty hint in the full-bodied cup. A lingering caramelized brown sugar note provides a complement to a crisp snap of clove in the finish. A staff favorite.
Bring filtered water to 190°F.
Measure 2.25g (1 tsp) of leaves per 6oz serving.
Steep tea leaves for 5-6 minutes then remove.
Pour into your favorite teacup and enjoy!
