About 
Delicate and harmonious, Organic Meiji Sunset invites you into a world of enchanting contrast. Embrace bright notes of dark fruit, a ballet of balanced tannins, and a well-rounded mouthfeel. 

This tea is an ode to intensity wrapped in elegance, and is a perfect companion to a luxurious breakfast or 5pm break. 

It requires no accompaniment of milk or citrus, as the inherent power of the flavour shines through; however, it graciously accepts the company of either, merging strength with subtlety. 

Origin & History
Embark on a sensory journey to Tanegashima, a jewel among the Osumi Islands in the southern Kagoshima Prefecture. Tanegashima's volcanic soil is nurtured by abundant rainfall, and the land is home to a breathtaking array of birds. 

In the bygone eras of Meiji and Taisho, Japan crafted black tea of unparalleled quality for export to the Western world. Alas, the tides of a World War and the rise of the British Empire's Eastern colonies as the preferred origin for black tea dimmed Japan's export glow. Today, only a small fraction of Japanese tea is made in a 'black' style. 

Kuritwase (Tanegashima's emblematic cultivar) is a rarity elsewhere in Japan. Celebrated for yielding exceptionally delicious tea, both green and black, it weaves a tale of tradition and taste. 

Origin: Tanegashima, Japan

About
Native to Eastern Canada, these soothing blossoms create a beautiful drink that can be enjoyed both hot and cold. Phenomenally rich with incredible depth of florality, vibrant, and soothing. 

In Northern Europe, elder trees are associated to healing and scaring away evil spirits, and while we cannot vouch for that, we can say that this tea is very likely to make you smile.

Possibly the most beautiful whole flower tea we have ever sourced, these dried hibiscus blossoms not only taste fantastic, they also look the part.
