Sri Lanka Earl Grey Bravo – Black Tea

A new Earl Grey blend with slightly different ingredients.

A classic blend of premium black tea from Sri Lanka, flavored with bergamot (a citrus fruit). The perfect afternoon tea: zesty and exhilarating fresh citrus aroma, slightly dry to the nose, with a rounded and balanced orange rind flavor to match the tang of the Ceylon. Pleasantly dry finish with lingering citrus sweetness.

We recommend steeping this tea a little less than normal, as bitterness can interfere with the aromatics. It is traditionally served with a squeeze of lemon and a little sugar (not milk).  But some like it with milk – try this special recipe for a “London Fog.”

Steeping Time – 2 Minutes

Water Temp – 212 F

Whole leaf black tea, orange, bergamot flavor, blue cornflower petals

 

Chinese Yunnan: Imperial 1st Grade Black

Small, tightly rolled leaves with golden tips produce a dark, sweet and fragrant cup. This tea is earthy yet very smooth, with a honey aroma and smoky-caramel flavor profile. These premium organic leaves make an exceptional milk-and-sugar breakfast cup, or a fantastic iced tea.

Located in the southwestern cloud-forest mountains of China, Yunnan province is the original home of the tea tree – in the wild, what we know as “bushes” can grow up to 30 feet tall! This tippy variety is from a cultivated bush, typically less than 6 feet tall, of exceptional quality – a tea perfected through ancient tradition.

Steeping Time – 3 Minutes

Water Temp – 212 F

Tippy Yunnan black tea.

 

Chinese Qimen: “Grand Keemun” Black

Hailing from Qimen county (spelled “Keemun” on old maps), named after Mount Qi which provides perfect conditions for tea cultivation in Anhui province, this exceptionally refined black tea has been mellowed through a unique local recipe with particularly slow withering and oxidizing, giving it gently nuanced flavors and aromas.

A superb step above the classic black teas, “Grand Keemun” is perfect for those who love a deep red cup with full-bodied flavor, malty and caramel.  There are cocoa, rose and other subtle floral notes, and just enough smoky complexity to make every cup an exciting taste experience, but it is the sweetness of this tea that makes it stand out. Even the aroma is like honey and berries, and a cup steeped with extra leaves will come out dark, rich, velvety, almost fruity in its sugary mouth-feel.

Perfect for iced tea, try it with lemon and honey.  Also very good with milk and sugar.

This tea is one of Tyler’s favorites – and available at a bargain price!
