A shot of darkness unlike any of our other teas. This blend of several black teas and honeybush is primarily a vehicle for its black cherry, but houses so much more within its depths. The longer you drink this one, the more background notes you’ll pick up. Embrace the shadows and dive into this taste of the darkness.
Brewing Suggestions
Use 7g (≈1 tbsp) of leaf per ½ liter (≈17 oz) of water.
Use boiling (100°C/212°F) water
Steep for 4:00, strain leaves, and enjoy!
Don’t forget to try for multiple infusions! Just add time to each steep.
For under 2:00 steep times, add 30 seconds.
For 2:00 to 4:00, add 1 minute.
For over 4:00, add 2 minutes or more.
Like milk in your tea? Steep an extra minute or two!
Too strong? Take off a minute, or use 5g of leaf instead!
Too light? Kick it up another minute, or use 10g of leaf instead!
Wanna do a tea latte?
