Premium Black Tea
Black tea is by far the
most consumed tea in the Western world. Black tea actually starts out green, but
during the production process, the tea oxidizes and turns black releasing the
tea's full flavor.

Assam Broken Orange Pekoe Tea
Assam Broken Orange Pekoe Tea is a full bodied robust and malty tea
that has an excellent color in the liquor. Assam is the largest tea
growing area of the world. The leaf is quite small and that adds to the
strength of the cup.
The 'orange' in orange pekoe possibly comes from the fact that these
particular leaves have a golden orange color when plucked, or that in
China sometimes orange blossoms were added to these leaves for flavor.
Another suggestion is that it refers to the Dutch House of Orange. It
does not have anything to do with the flavor of the tea leaves
themselves. 300 $8.95

Earl Grey Tea
Earl Grey is named after its English benefactor, Charles Earl Grey, who
for a short time served as Prime Minister under King William IV. The
unusual flavoring that makes Earl Grey so special is the oil of
bergamot. Bergamot comes from the Turkish word for "prince's pear" and
describes a pear shaped citrus that is grown around the Mediterranean.
The oil is pressed from the rind and is used for perfume as well as
Earl Grey tea. We take the concentration of this exotic flavor and
blend it with mild teas of China and Sri Lanka. 311 $6.95

Lapsang Souchong Tea
Lapsang Souchong tea comes from the Fujian province of China. This is a
very distinctive tea with an exotic smoky flavor. Lapsang-Souchong has
grown in popularity with those who appreciate single malt Scotch whisky
and fine cigars.
The preperation of the leaves involves withering over cypress or pine
wood fires. After the rolling process, they are placed into wooden
barrels until they begin to emit their own pleasant aroma. As a final
step they are placed in bamboo baskets and hung over smoky pine fires
where they dry and absorb the smokes essence.
The finished tea is thick and black and when steeped in hot water
produces a bright burgundy-orange cup of tea. The flavor is assertive
and bold. 313 $7.95
