Earl Grey Tea | Premium

The sitting room is richly furnished with intricate upholstery and velveteen curtains. Too polite to request a specific tea, its preparation is steeped in mystery. But there’s a delicate clue as ambiguity subsides and a teapot is set down on a Georgian mahogany table. Bergamot oil precipitates into the atmosphere and the Earl Grey tea regally announces its presence. Surveying the room, a feeling of predestination descends; it becomes rather plain that it was never going to be anything else.

Tea is a ritual of quiet attention. Once welcomed into a routine, tea provides dependable moments of joyous tranquility via the senses:

Sight: the golden, amber hues of a steeped brew.
Olfactory: the earthy or floral scent of unfurling steam.
Touch: the weight and texture of a perfectly crafted cup.
And of course – the taste.

Each enchanting sensory cue to draws the tea drinker deeper into the present moment. And so, this is why we define tea as sanctuary.

In a world of distractions and glorified hustle, the deliberate act of brewing tea is nothing short of gently radical. Adjusting water temperatures, studying the copper threads as they infuse into the pot, and treasuring the first sip are all small but meaningful acts of rebellion. And like any revolution, at its core is principled intention. Though few rebellions announce themselves in something as delightful as a cup of tea, therein lies its subversive audacity. For this reason, our blends and their accompanying stories are meticulously crafted to enhance tea’s transportive powers and thoroughly envelop the drinker. In essence, tea is neither trend nor commodity. It is a timeless practice with a home in every culture. It is refined over centuries and waits to be discovered – telling its story time, and time again.
