Flavoured Black Tea

Organic Earl Grey
This has to be one of the best Earl Greys in the world, winning best Earl Grey of the 2008 World Tea Competition (upsetting even the actual Earl Grey - no small feat). Real Bergamot squeezed over black tea - this is the real thing.
5.50 US per 1/8 lb

Black tea infused with grenadine & vanilla. First created by monks (like all worthwhile beverages, most notably ale, espresso and the appletini), this one is sweet and toasty.
6.00 US per 1/8 lb


Organic Lapsang Souchong
A bold tea for the adventurous. Smoky and robust, redolent of campfires, whisky and cigars. This is what Churchill drank when he wasn’t trying to get drunk.
5.00 US per 1/8 lb


The Naughty Vicar
Our own creation. a blend of premium black tea with a touch of black currant and organic vanilla. Heavily scented and rumoured to be an aphrodisiac.
We started the rumour. Your snogging will keep it in play.
8.00 US per 1/8 lb


Lavender Earl Grey
-FAIR TRADE ORGANIC-

One of our top-selling teas, this follows the French tradition of adding lavender to tea, but leaves other French traditions where they lay. Flavourful and calming.
7.00 US per 1/8 lb


The Fifth of November
Smoky gunpowder, wild winter berries, hints of vanilla bean and a soupçon of Lapsang Souchong. A great fall drink. Remember, remember to drink Fifth of November.
7.00 US per 1/8 lb


Black Currant
AKA Cassis, which gained notoriety in 1712 when Abbot Bailly inferred that Black Currant was indeed an aphrodisiac and should be consumed with great care. So easy does it, gents.
4.00 US per 1/8 lb


Organic Vanilla
This premium vanilla is an exceptional blend of real vanilla bean (no fake flavours) & premium organic black teas. Cozy, comforting and calming.
·PREMIUM·
10.00 US per 1/8 lb


Organic Wild Berry Black

Actual berries (no fake flavours) combined with an excellent black tea blend makes this one of our best-selling teas. Also making this a best-selling tea: post-hypnotic suggestion. Suckers.

Organic Unity
Smooth and sweet finish with notes of lemon and pepper. Tastes best whilst wearing a unitard if you’ve got the legs for it.
6.00 US per 1/8 lb


Organic Chamomile Blossoms

Beyond the benefits of this herb’s relaxing nature, there is a mild sweetness and fruity, floral flavour to look forward to. Its soothing aroma is enhanced when you take it with lemon, honey and the musical stylings of Zamfir.
3.50 US per 1/8 lb


Yerba Mate
-FAIR TRADE ORGANIC-

Highly stimulating, very similar to a big caffeine boost (though technically ‘caffeine-free’, the heart will beat a bit faster). South Americans swear by it. The Guarani Indians claim the drink was a gift from the goddesses of the moon and clouds. So they kind of have to like it.
5.00 US per 1/8
