Black Tea

Black Tea

Black tea is a type of tea that is more oxidized than green, oolong, and white teas, resulting in its dark color and high caffeine content. Black tea is appreciated by tea enthusiasts around the world for its bold flavor, energizing properties, and versatility in both traditional and contemporary tea preparations. Enjoy it on its own or try it with a splash of milk!

The Whistling Kettle Tea Almond Lemon Panna Cotta, loose leaf and brewed. Brewed Almond Lemon Panna Cotta in Ceramic Bird Egg Travel Mug next to Tea Tin filled with Almond Lemon Panna Cotta loose leaf tea.

Almond Lemon Panna Cotta
Black Tea

Almond Lemon Panna Cotta is a dessert-in-a-cup, built on a smooth black tea base and inspired by the classic Italian treat. Bright lemon and delicate almond notes sit on top of a soft, creamy panna cotta profile with a hint of vanilla and yogurt-like richness, creating a balanced, bakery-style flavor that feels indulgent without being cloying. The aroma is irresistible, and the sip matches it with a sunny lemon lift, a gentle nutty warmth, and a silky finish that reads like lemon pound cake, lemon cookie, or almond biscotti. It’s wonderfully versatile, delicious hot or iced, and it makes a lush latte when finished with milk or cold foam. The blend is forgiving, so you can brew it a touch stronger for more punch, or keep it mild for a subtler dessert note. If you love lemon pastry teas, almond-forward blends, or creamy dessert flavors, this is an easy reach for a comforting afternoon cup or a sweet ending to any meal. Bright, creamy, and bakery-inspired, Almond Lemon Panna Cotta is a cheerful, year-round favorite.

Autumn Haze
Black Tea

Autumn Haze is a cozy, maple-sweet black tea that feels like a walk through crisp fall air. The blend layers warm maple and creamy vanilla over a subtle nutty backdrop, creating an inviting aroma that fills the room the moment you open the pouch. It’s gentle rather than bold, perfect for anyone who prefers a softer flavored black tea. The taste skews maple-forward with a smooth vanilla creaminess and a toasty hazelnut warmth that rounds the cup. Some tasters also notice faint dried fruit undertones, which add a little complexity without stealing the spotlight. Because the flavoring is restrained, this tea shines both as a quiet, comforting sip and as the base for sweeter preparations. Enjoy Autumn Haze on a chilly morning, curled up with a book, or dressed up into a creamy latte by brewing a stronger concentrate and adding warmed milk. This seasonal favorite evokes cozy autumn moments, and it’s a great pick for anyone who wants fall flavor without heavy spice.
