Loose Leaf Tea Company Orange Blast Black Tea
If you like your black tea bold and bursting with fruit, Loose Leaf Tea Company's Orange Blast Black Tea pours an intense, juicy orange cup on a brisk black tea base. Formerly sold as Tangy Tangerine, this loose-leaf black tea combines real orange pieces with blackberry leaves and bright safflower petals. It brews a lively citrus cup that works just as well steaming hot as it does poured over ice.
Why You'll Love This Loose Leaf Blend
- Big, juicy orange flavor: Real orange pieces and natural flavors give every cup an intense citrus character.
- Robust black tea backbone: Full-bodied black tea holds its own against the fruit, so the cup tastes rich rather than thin.
- Hot or iced: Brew it hot on a cool morning, or chill it for a bright, fruity iced tea in warm weather.
- Loose-leaf format: Whole leaves and fruit pieces have room to open up in your infuser or teapot.
- Pick your size: The 1 oz. pouch is an easy way to try it. The 3 oz., 8 oz. and 16 oz. sizes keep a daily habit stocked.
- A cheerful gift: The colorful orange and safflower blend makes a welcome present for citrus lovers.
