Black teas are the fully oxidized leaves of the camellia sinensis, and are the most highly caffeinated variety of tea leaf.
We do not use essential oils in our tea blends, only freshly milled herbs and spices to acquire the desired flavors. This allows for a more thoroughly blended, subtle bouquet of flavor in each infusion, in addition to maintaining the beneficial qualities of ingredients such as cinnamon, ginger, and peppermint.
