Earl Grey

A rich and fragrant blend of fine Ceylon, Darjeeling and Keemun teas, scented with oil of bergamot.

Earl “Charles” Grey (1764-1845) was Prime Minister of Great Britain in the early 1830’s. During a visit to China he fell in love with a blend of teas scented with the oil from the peel of bergamot, which rapidly became perhaps the world’s most famous tea.

True Earl Grey tea not only smells superb as you bring the cup to your mouth, but tastes the same as it passes over your palate. Try ours… it’s famous world wide.

Assam

Assam tea is named after the region in NE India where it is grown. This tea is made with the orthodox method of withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying. It can be called full-bodied or brisk, and has a strong malty sweetness. The aroma is rich and has hints of fruit or honey. 

It has a nice deep red color and is fairly heavy in caffeine, making it an excellent choice for those seeking an energy boost or perhaps one to avoid for those who don’t. It is the third most popular tea in the USA.

Darjeeling

Darjeeling tea is grown in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, India, which is situated in the foothills of the Himalayas. It is often referred to as the “Champagne of teas.” Now that is pretty high praise. It is made using the orthodox method described above under Assam tea. It is hand-plucked and undergoes minimal processing to preserve its wonderful flavor that hints at muscatel with a bit of astringency. The aroma is somewhat like muscat grapes. This is a moderate caffeine tea.
