Black Tea

About this Collection

Our black teas bring together the strength and warmth of traditional breakfast blends with the creativity of our signature flavored infusions. You’ll find bold, malty Assams, smooth Nilgiris, and complex Chinese black teas alongside imaginative favorites like Coconut Assam, Fredericksburg Peach, and Cacao Chai. Each one is crafted to balance depth and aroma, offering both classic comfort and modern flavor.

Black tea’s character comes from oxidation, the natural process that deepens its color and taste. Think of a sliced apple turning golden as it meets the air — that same transformation gives black tea its coppery hue and notes of oak, spice, and gentle sweetness. Whether you prefer loose leaf or our convenient silky sachets, every cup captures that rich, contemplative quality Jeffrey Lorien loved to share.

Explore our Austin Breakfast and Classic English Breakfast blends for timeless flavor, or try refreshing iced tea kits like Black Currant and Classic Black. Each tea invites you to pause, breathe, and enjoy the warmth of the moment.
