Monks Blend is a medium bodied and flavory piquant Ceylon character. Blended with natural flavor oils of vanilla and grenadine which makes for a unique blend. Monks Blend is made with a luxury black tea, sunflower petals, and natural petals.
Background of this tea: First created by Tibetan monks-infused with universal life energy, this tea is a perfect all day treat; sweet and toasty with a touch of dryness in a subtle bouquet. Originally, it is believed that this blend was developed by monks to support their life’s desires, especially the work they did all by hand. Tea is an item that these monks considered ‘good for the soul’. Franciscan monks used to drink this tea to keep them awake during long periods of meditation. It is fare to say that this is an acient and harmonious blend as it is also used by Buddhist and Taoist monks.
