A full-bodied Sri Lankan black tea forms the base for this classic English beverage. Flavored with Bergamot oil and garnished with beautiful, bright-blue Cornflowers, a classic English breakfast beverage brings flavor to a new level.
Tea Notes. Sri Lankan black is a large leaf and full-bodied. This style of black is widely appreciated as a breakfast tea. The blend components lend rich flavors and build aromas on the tea.
Tea Facts. Black tea is Sri Lankan. Cornflower petals are organic and edible. Bergamot oil is made by crushing the rind of the fruit & scent the tea. Tea is caffeinated.
Tasting Notes. The citrusy aroma of the tea rises first. The taste is fresh and clean given the citrus flavor of Bergamot. Cornflowers provide a soft, floral sweetness. Full-bodied, it is a mouthful of flavor.
Brewing Suggestions. Use 3-4 grams of leaf, a teaspoon, for every 8 ounces of water at 195- 212°F. Steep for 3-4 minutes.

Black tea is a leaf that has been fully oxidized. This rigorous oxidization produces a tea of hearty rich flavors while reducing its astringency and bringing out a natural sweetness.
Flavors will range from bright, brisk, peppery, clean, and smoky to aromatic, bold, malty, nutty, spicy, and sweet. Blacks are known for long, delicately aromatic, and comforting aftertastes. Note, they are often enjoyed with milk or sweetener.

Consistently the Best
It's a bit expensive, so we sometimes try other brands, but inevitably return to Silk Road for this exquisite tea. Nothing compares. Mouth and soul both crave it.
