Lemon Drop Black
One of our favorite tea providers has come up with this tantalizing malty black tea infused with tart lemon peel, and we can't get enough of it.
Queen Victoria famously enjoyed her cup of tea with a slice of lemon, and we love how the citrus offsets the natural molasses notes in this expertly blended tea.
Try it in its purest state without the addition of milk to really enjoy its complexities.
Ingredients: Black tea, lemon peel, lemon verbena, and natural flavoring.
Origin: Multiple Origin Blend
Caffeine: HIGH
Apple Cinnamon French Toast
Easily one of our favorites, this gorgeously decadent black tea is perfect for a Sunday morning. Apple pieces and organic cinnamon make it taste like an apple pie, but the addition of maple really turns this tea into something special. Try it with warm milk to make it really rich and serve it alongside your favorite brunch.
Ingredients: Black teas, apple pieces, cinnamon pieces and apple cinnamon french toast flavoring.
Origin: Multiple Origin Blend
Caffeine: HIGH
Imperial Grade Laoshan Black
Imperial Grade Laoshan Black is the highest grade version of the already high grade Classic Laoshan Black.
This tea comes from the small family farm of the Liang family where all the growing and processing is done on site, under their strict control, to produce the highest quality result.
What separates this tea from the Classic Laoshan Black is that it's produced from the smallest tippy materials of the tea plants, which are hand selected one leaf at a time during the picking process and set aside for this small batch of tea.
This tea starts its growth under the protection of a greenhouse in the winter and early spring, then it's exposed to direct sunlight until picking season starts in late April to early May.
This tea is wonderfully sweet and thick, with notes of cane sugar and chocolate.
One of our favorites!
May 2025 Harvest
We also recommend checking out our Laoshan Village Black Needles. A similar and wonderfully delicious tea.
Ingredients: Black tea
Origin: Shandong, China
Caffeine: HIGH
Honeyberry
This delightful, naturally sweet blend pairs fragrant honeybush—famed for its soothing, honey-like aroma—with the lush, juicy flavor of ripe goji and blackberries. Naturally caffeine-free and brimming with antioxidants, honeybush has long been cherished for its ability to help calm the central nervous system, making it the perfect choice for winding down.
Ingredients: Honeybush, goji berries, blackberry leaves, flavoring.
Origin: Multiple-Origin Blend
Caffeine: CAFFEINE-FREE
