An introduction to the art of tea tasting with five iconic teas, including:
- Thé des Lords: a traditional English tea with a sprinkling of safflower petals. This highly distinguished "Lord" is our Earl Grey with the most prominent bergamot flavor.
- Grand Yunnan Imperial: this Chinese black tea provides a subtle energy boost. It is soft and floral, with a subtle astringency and a crowd-pleasing honeyed flavor.
- Thé des Moines: discover a blend of black tea and green tea with a unique, distinct floral scent, inspired by an ancestral recipe developed in a Tibetan monastery.
- Sencha Ariake: a Japanese green tea, both sweet and invigorating, with a vegetal and very slightly iodized flavor, ideal for discovering the excellence of Sencha teas.
- Thé du Hammam: try this gourmet and fruity green tea that evokes green dates, orange blossom, roses, and red berries..
Handsomely boxed for gifting or sampling yourself, each vial in the Mini Mini Tea Library can brew a small pot for sharing or enjoy the distinctive flavors in our new Double-Walled Glass Infuser Mug!
