    This tea proudly declares independence with a unique floral, maple flavor. After the Boston Tea Party, colonists used local ingredients like maple and strawberry leaves to substitute their usual British black tea. But now you can have the best of both worlds - our Blend 1776 combines Ceylon and Assam black teas with subtle maple and strawberry sweetness. A hint of jasmine adds a delicate top note to complete this full-bodied tea.

    Wakoucha is a Japanese black tea. Yes, you read that correctly. In a country most known for green tea, Wakoucha is a rare gem indeed. This organic Wakoucha brews a clear amber red and has a sweet aroma with hints of honey. It has a sweet and malty flavor with hints of stone fruit and chrysanthemum. This is a rare tea indeed as the best Wakoucha comes from the summer harvest, when tea plants are hit hardest by pests. Being an organic tea there are no pesticides used, making the plants even more susceptible and rare.

This blend uses a full-bodied black tea as its backbone, so you still get a robust, satisfying brew. The cream and subtle floral touches add a gentle sweetness and a smooth mouthfeel, making it delicious on its own or with a splash of milk. It also shines as a base for a London Fog, iced tea, or anytime you want a comforting, flavorful pick-me-up. Fresh, aromatic, and easy to enjoy throughout the day, Earl Grey Cream is a great choice for anyone who likes their bergamot softened by creamy, vanilla-forward flavor.
