Assam Harmony Tea

Black tea from the Assam region of India. Assam tea brews up a burgundy-red cup with rich aroma and strong malty taste. The latter makes Assam an ideal breakfast-time tea. Our "Assam Harmony" is an outstanding second-flush (summer) clonal tea from Mangalam, arguably the finest estate in the Assam region.

Lapsang Souch. Tea

Black tea from the Fujian province of China. Lapsang Souchong tea has a famously smoky aroma and flavor. To create this, tea leaves are dried in bamboo baskets over pine fires, achieving a perfect balance of smoke and tea flavor. Our "Eroica Caravan" typically draws strong reactions: youll either love it or hate it.

Yunnan Gold Tea

Black tea from the Yunnan region of China. Yunnan tea is easily identified by its luscious soft leaves, and a unique peppery taste. Our "Yunnan Gold" as the name implies is an exceptional quality tea with beautiful gold-colored leaves and an abundance of rich peppery flavor. Allowed to take only one tea to a desert island, Yunnan Gold would be our clear choice.

Ceylon Sonata Tea

Black tea from Sri Lanka. In colonial times, this island-nation was known as Ceylon. This name is still used to describe all teas grown here. Ceylon tea is bright and lively, with a wonderfully delicate flavor. Our "Ceylon Sonata" is the finest grade tea from the renowned Kenilworth estate, located in Sri Lanka's Dimbula region.
