Description

A wonderful blend of Yunnan and Assam. Both mild and invigorating, mellow and spicy, it is a successful blend of the main characteristics of both teas. Its high caffeine content makes it an excellent morning tea.

Ever since colonial times, the English have created tea blends (Darjeeling, Assam, Ceylon, etc.) whose proportions vary depending on the time of day: teas with more body in the morning and lighter ones in the afternoon. In keeping with this tradition, Palais des Thés has created blends that are balanced for different times of the day.
