Description
Try some of our most popular black teas.
3 packages of 2 oz each, this bundle includes:
Sri Lanka Earl Grey Bravo – Black Tea
Whole leaf black tea, blue mallow blossoms, and bergamot.
A well-loved classic, Earl Grey is arguably the most popular of all flavored teas. Bergamot oil comes from the peel of a small citrus cultivated mostly in Italy and lends a fantastic spicy-sour flavor as well as aromas which enliven the palate and sinuses. The blue mallow blossoms included in this special blend improve the color while also complimenting the bergamot with subtle lavender.
Steeping Time – 2 Minutes
Water Temp – 212 F
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.

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!
