Category: Loose Leaf Tea
Exquisite, hand crafted black tea that has been aged in South African whisky barrels. The oak barrels that have been used to age whisky impart the tea with rich, sweet fruit aromas.
How a malty, chocolatey hand rolled black tea can reach this apotheosis through careful aging in a whisky barrel is a small but remarkable miracle.
Brewed a pot for an afternoon pick-me-up and the oak-aged fruitiness really came through—sweet and malty with a hint of that whisky barrel character. It's become my weekend ritual, and the loose leaf lasts a good long while.
The first time I brewed this, the whisky-barrel aging really came through in the aroma—sweet and fruity without being boozy. The malty, chocolatey depth made it my new afternoon ritual.
The malty, chocolate notes really come through once the tea cools a bit, and the sweet fruit aroma from the whisky barrels lingers in the cup without being boozy. It’s become my weekend afternoon ritual, and the fact that it’s hand-crafted makes each brew feel like a small treat.
