Butterscotch-Caramel
$2.00 – $10.00
Inspired by boardwalk confectioneries, our Butterscotch-Caramel is one of those treats that we fight tooth and nail over. Sweet and smooth, this black tea blend serves up as a dessert all its own, and makes our mouths water just from the candy-rich aroma. Even better, it’s a favorite tea to serve iced when we have a sweet tooth around without needing to add sugar.
- Pairs well with desserts, crisp afternoons, and moments of low willpower.
- Steep Time: 200°-212° for 3-4 minutes
- Black tea
Coconut Black
$3.00 – $12.00
Blended with Nilgiri tea, this is a subtle and satisfying flavored blend. We’ve taken high-quality tea balanced for its light astringency and warm flavors, and combined it with the perfect mix of coconut to provide a cuppa that drinks smooth and nutty – the coconut pairs with the tea to accent its flavor, rather than overwhelm it. This makes a fantastic iced tea as well as hot, and is 100% organically produced.

- Steep Time: 200°-212° for 3-4 minutes
- Black tea, coconut, and coconut flavor
Earl Grey Crème

We admit it: we love Earl Grey teas. Be it a tall cuppa with a book on a crisp autumn day, or sipping it on the bridge of a starship, this recognizable blend has captured more than its fair share of tea lovers as the most popular tea of the Western world. Traditionally a strong black tea flavored with oils from the bergamot orange (common to Italy and southern France), our Earl Grey Crème includes one of our favorite variations: a measure of creamy vanilla, to elevate and round the brisk citrus undertones into a drink fit to crave.

Himalayan Golden
$4.00 – $18.00
Grown on the mountain ridges of Nepal, our Himalayan Golden is one of those teas we have difficulty sharing.

Keemun
$4.00 – $16.00
Keemun has a history as rich as its taste – a Chinese government official found himself out of work and out of luck just before the turn of the 20th century, and taking his father’s advice that “a skill is a better guarantee than a title” for making a living, entered the tea trade in Anhui Province. What he produced remains the tea to which all other black teas are held.
Our superior grade Keemun has a distinctive fruity fragrance without being overpowering. When brewed, it shows off the tea’s famously striking amber liquor, while the flavor is dark, rich, and toasty, with a hint of smokiness.

- Steep Time: 200°-212° for 4 minutes
- Black tea

Masala Chai
$3.00 – $10.00
Literally translated as “tea,” chai means many things to different people. In the West, this is commonly expected to be a masala blend, or “mixed-spice,” and classic Indian methods for brewing this drink can vary from household to household and involve more steps than a typical brew of tea. Our core spiced tea is inspired by a very traditional recipe and blended to taste for Western brewing methods, using ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and a hint of vanilla for creaminess. This gives us a warm and invigorating cuppa that promises to rejuvenate your bones in the winter, and provide a satisfying zing in the warmer months.
- Pairs well with cheese, curries, spicy dishes, and super-sweet desserts.
- Steep Time: 200°-212° for 5 minutes
- Black tea, ginger root, cinnamon, green cardamom, ginger, and vanilla flavor
Nilgiri
$3.00 – $12.00
Nilgiri teas are forgiving things. In conversation, teas from this region are often over-shadowed by their neighbors, Darjeeling and Assam, but they don’t mind any more than they mind harsher steeping methods. Meaning “Blue Mountain,” Nilgiri teas are grown along the southern mountain ranges of India, and brew fantastically brisk and bright cuppas that take active effort to get a bad steep out of. Our Nilgiri is a blend of several of the best showings of the season, offering a fragrant tea full of refreshing flavor, and makes one of the best iced teas around to boot.
- Pairs well with bleary eyed mornings, jams and jellies, and just about anything when iced.
- Steep Time: 200°-212° for 4 minutes
- Black tea
Raspberries & Cream
$3.00 – $10.00

- Pairs well with scones, simple breakfasts, and cravings to eat all the candy in your home.
- Steep Time: 200°-212° for 3-4 minutes
- Black tea, safflowers, raspberry leaves, raspberry flavor, vanilla flavor
Royal Yunnan Gold
$4.00 – $24.00
Named after their origins in the Yunnan province of China, these teas are coveted as gourmet offerings by connoisseurs, while eliciting surprise from newcomers to loose leaf tea due to their appearance. Made with a prevalence of golden leafy buds (or golden “tips”), Royal Yunnan Gold is a tea that boasts a surprising lack of astringency for black tea, and resilience to strong steeping methods. The unique, brassy liquor brews into an easy to drink cuppa with notes of molasses-like sweetness and a lingering finish.
- Pairs well with chicken dishes, creme brulee, popcorn (seriously, don’t judge us), mid-afternoon relaxation.
- Steep Time: 200°-212° for 4 minutes
- Black tea
Russian Caravan
$3.00 – $10.00
Strong, aromatic, and unique, Russian Caravan blends are renowned for the heady smoked flavors imparted to them. Origins of the blend are rooted in 18th century trade caravans, where long journeys would impart a smokiness upon the tea being transported from the traders’ campfires. Today, this historical blend is made with a smoke-dried tea called lapsang souchong to lend it its characteristic flavor. Strong, bold, and smoky, our Russian Caravan is made with high quality lapsang, Keemun, and oolong teas to balance the good-morning-world smokiness with malt and caramel notes.
- Pairs well with strong flavored foods, barbeque, lumberjacks, and all on its own
- Steep Time: 200°-212° for 3-4 minutes
- Black tea
Subcontinent Tea Bundle
$23.00
The overwhelming majority of the world’s tea is produced in India and China, and when it comes to black teas, India has the art down to a science. Artisan blends and single-estate offerings from the subcontinent are sought after across the world, and the major tea-growing regions of India are often household names even in tea-lite homes: Assam. Darjeeling. Nilgiri.
This collection truly illustrates the differences that process, location, and art can create from a single plant. Our featured Assam and Nilgiri teas are drastically different brews in the cup, contrasting a strong balanced cuppa with a bright, forgiving drink. As a high mountain grown tea, the floral and earthy Himalayan Golden shares many similarities with Darjeeling teas, in contrast to the explosive flavor and spice of Masala style “chai” (tea). This bundle includes four small-sized canisters of:
Temi Estate Sikkim FTGFOP-1
$4.00 – $24.00

- Steep Time: 200°-212° for 3 minutes
- Black tea
Vanilla
$3.00 – $12.00
We’re super picky when it comes to vanilla – it’s surprisingly easy to get a simple flavor wrong! This blend, however, more than meets our muster. Inspired by sugar sorcerers everywhere, our Vanilla Black is meant to indulge (or perhaps kick-start) your sweet-tooth. Made with Nilgiri tea and vanilla beans, the aroma of this tea speaks immediately of freshly baked cookies and brown sugar. The brew itself highlights our tea, with gentle accents of vanilla and a lovely nose. Taken with a bit of milk and sugar, this tea fulfills cravings we didn’t know we had, and also makes for a delightfully refreshing iced tea!
- Pairs well with warm summer nights, COOKIES!, and tuning out the world.
- Steep Time: 200°-212° for 3-4 minutes
- Black tea, vanilla beans, and vanilla flavor
