Black Teas
Black teas are grown and crafted around the whole, from China to Kenya to Columbia. Each tea reflects the terroir and traditions of the garden.
The Tea Smith collection of gourmet loose leaf black tea features traditional offerings, such as Congou, Assam, Keemun, Lapsang, and Earl Grey, along with many custom blends and new origin offerings, such as our Blacksmith Blend Breakfast Tea or Araksa Black Silk from Thailand.
$1.68
Not for weak tastebuds, Lapsang Souchong is a traditional Chinese black tea that has been dried over a pine fire. Affectionately called 'campfire tea', this selection has a balance between the smoke and tea tones that is not overwhelming.
