Why You'll Love This Blend

The enchanting aroma draws you in first—dark violet and purple florals mingle with rich berry notes. As you sip, slatey tannins balance the sweetness of elderberry and blackberry, while a subtle smokiness lingers like incense. A splash of milk softens the tannins beautifully, letting the floral and berry character shine even brighter. This tea suits afternoon steeping or pairs perfectly with dessert.
