Plant Based Sachet

Zero Microplastics

Gluten Free

A flavor somewhat superior to traditional Earl Grey. Fragrant Ceylon Dimbula and Uva are artfully combined with select teas from India's Assam valley, then scented with bergamot oil from the realm of Reggio Calabria, Italy.

Craft a Lord Bergamot Crème Brûlée at home. Recipe here.

Ingredients: Indian Assam and Sri Lankan Ceylon full leaf black teas, bergamot oil from Italy and natural flavor.

Tasting Notes:Malt, honey, citrus

For best flavor, bring spring or freshly drawn filtered water to a boil (212 degrees). Steep 1 sachet or 1 rounded tsp (2.5 g) loose leaf for five minutes. If possible, play a little opera softly in the background.

Assam

Indian Black Tea

Assam tea is the biggest, brightest, richest and most astringent tea made. It is the backbone to breakfast style teas of nearly all brand and quality although it is also used in many blends for body and top notes. Assam is less floral and has more bread or biscuit-like flavor than other origins, and is often described as malty or coppery.

Ceylon Dimbula

Sri Lankan Black Tea

The Dimbula region is directly opposite the Uva region in Sri Lanka. Dimbulas are often called “Westerns” in the tea trade. They have a reddish amber color in the cup, with a medium to full body, slightly fruity flavor and mineral notes. Ceylon Dimbulas are often used in medium bodied blends, Earl Grey formulas and other flavored teas. The best Dimbula teas are produced from December to February.

Bergamot Oil

Essential Oil

Bergamot is a citrus fruit the color of a lime and the size of a large orange. Picked when ripe, the thick peel is removed and pressed like an olive to extract its essential oils. It has a distinctive flavor and aroma with notes of lavender, lemon and spice.

Ceylon Uva

Sri Lankan Black Tea

Situated 1100 meters above sea level on the island of Sri Lanka, the Uva region produces teas of distinctly different character from their Ceylonese siblings. Uvas are astringent, intensely floral and slightly sharp in flavor with a golden cup color. They add “bite” and freshness to blends.

Part of my morning

This has replaced coffee for me. I have it every morning. I find the loose leaf is a little stronger than the individual sachets so I recommend the loose leaf.

Stacy 09/01/2024

Hi! I have two questions. Approximately how many servings of tea are there in your 2.5 oz and 8 oz bag of loose leaf tea? Also some sections of your website say to use one rounded teaspoon of loose leaf tea and other sections say two rounded teaspoons. Is one a better choice than the other or is it just a matter of taste? Thank you!

Is this tea caffeine free? If not how much caffeine does it have per brew?

Answers (1)

Smith Teamaker 03/06/2024

Hello Ellie! Caffeine is naturally occurring in the tea leaf plant, so regardless if it’s a black, white, or green tea it will still have some caffeination. Typically a cup of black tea (such as the Chocolate Peppermint Pu-Erh and Portland Breakfast) will have about 1/3 the caffeine as a cup of coffee.

Is the loose tea actually loose or is it in a different type of satchel?

Answers (1)

Smith Teamaker 01/16/2024

Hello Adrienne! Thanks for reaching out! Our loose leaf packs contain loose leaf tea for portioning to your taste. We typically recommend 2 rounded teaspoons of loose tea for every 8-10 ounces of water. If you prefer steeping a sachet, we offer many of our blends in cartons with 15 sachets that contain the same full-leaf tea we offer in our loose packs in plant-based, compostable sachets. Cheers!

Is the tea certified organic?

Answers (1)

Smith Teamaker 12/13/2023

Hello! Thanks for reaching out! Some of the teas that we source are organic, but are purchased without a certificate. We do not use organic as our primary filter for purchasing teas because it limits our ability to have access to the best possible range of teas. You can check out our FAQ page for more details. Cheers!
