Darjeeling Black Tea
$16.00 – $17.00Grown on the Southern Slopes of the Himalayan Mountains in the Indian province of Bengal, true Darjeeling can only come from one of 78 Tea Gardens recognized by the Tea Board of India.
To make Local Spicery’s Darjeeling, only the flowering tips of the Second Flush of the plant are harvested, and fermented for several hours to create the aromatic, sweet, and slightly astringent complex flavors of Darjeeling. No aromatic oils ~ Just pure Darjeeling Tea.
Sagarmatha ~ Tenzing Norgay
$12.00 – $13.00Warm, grassy, and bright. Young Hyson’s spring flavor blends easily with the citrus overtones, creating a light blend for the ages. Named for Sherpa Tenzing, in honor of the heights he achieved & the way he lifted the world’s spirits.

Hibiscus
$15.00 – $16.00Tart and tangy, hibiscus is a common flavor in Raspberry Tisanes and Red Zinger, partially due to its signature deep red color and partially due to its jammy, citrusy, bright flavor.
Hibiscus is much more than a tea flavor — it’s the flower of the Hindu goddess Kali, used for medicinal purposes in Chinese herbology, and worn as a sign of marital availability by Tahitian women. No flavors added ~ Just pure Hibiscus.
Rose
$10.00 – $12.00Defining a rose as anything more than as itself was beyond Gertrude Stein, and we will not try to embarrass ourselves in the attempt.
A Rose is a Rose. Roses & other flowers have been used as flavorings for millennia across many cultures. In teas and tisanes, roses have long been considered a cure-all. This history, along with its delicate floral flavor and lovely color, made it particularly popular during the Victorian era.

A most tasty and satisfying tea! I admit, I bought it for the name (I collect Sherlockian teas), but now I drink it for pleasure and will certainly order more. This is really well balanced, with a surprising depth. Even brewed strong it doesn’t get bitter, and stands up well to milk. The flavour profile is complex and pleasing–no standout notes but, instead, smooth and refreshing from first to last. After trying dozens of “novel-teas,” it’s lovely to finally have a go-to Sherlockian tea. (And FWIW it also works day-old and iced.)
