A lovely gift for a black tea drinker! This sampler box contains 10 of our most popular black teas.

This gift box includes:

Assam - Dirial Estate Black Tea - The Dirial tea garden, located in the Dibrugarh district of Assam, cultivates approximately 562 hectares (1,389 acres) of tea. These leaves are fine, hard rolled, long and very wiry with golden tips. The flavor of the leaf is mildly malty and highly aromatic. The copper-red infusion delights with its forest-like fresh taste, slight spiciness, and special elegance.
Ceylon Blackwood, Organic – Blackwood is a section of the Idulgashinna Organic Tea Gardens, which is the world's first organic certified garden in the world and is also Fair Trade certified. The gardens are located in the Uva region and produce their teas from July to September every year. The medium, black, twisted leaves of this organic black tea brew to a pale golden cup with a light floral, sweet taste. 
China Sweet Osmanthus – Osmanthus tea is a scented tea that is processed in a similar fashion as jasmine teas.  Comprised of high-quality black tea and osmanthus flowers, this tea brews to an amber cup with a smooth, sweet taste and floral and fruity (apricot) notes.
Colombian Cacao Kisses Black Tea – This tea is a blend of Bitaco Colombian Black Tea with Cacao husk and nibs. The cacao comes from local cooperatives and small producers from the Tumaco region of Colombia, who produce a varietal of the finest and most aromatic cocoas in the world. The perfectly crafted blend creates a unique flavor experience. The tea imparts a mellow chocolate taste and aroma that pairs well with the black tea base.
Legacy Blend – Jim Sr. loved all types of tea; however, this interesting blend that he concocted became his favorite, and one that always jump-started his day! The rich flavors of Assam and Pu-erh meld together into a dark amber cup with an earthy, malty and smooth tasting tea that can be enjoyed, as he did, not only in the morning, but throughout the day.
Scottish Blend – A well rounded blend that is bold and smooth with fruit and oak undertones. We blended teas from four countries to yield a deep amber cup with a full-bodied, rich, creamy, malty and brisk taste.
Laos Meung Honeybee – The combination of lush soil and abundant moisture, from mist and clouds, produces an exquisite tea with good body and a complexity of taste.  The large wiry brown and golden leaves brew to a bright copper cup with light malty bouquet and a sweet, honey taste with notes of cocoa, spices and a hint of creaminess.
Darjeeling Sungma Estate, 2nd Flush – The Sungma Tea Estate is located in the Rung Bong Valley, which is famous for growing high-quality tea.  The tea plants are cultivated at altitudes of up to 2,360 meters above sea level. The aroma of this tea has a pronounced nutmeg character, and the abundant tippy leaves will enchant every second flush lover with their delicate taste.  The brewed cup has delightful notes of floral and citrus with a slightly sweet finish.
Irish Blend – One of Mr. Vail's 15 original tea blends. This blend of Indian teas, mixed with a dash of our Earl Grey blend, brews to a bright copper cup. The taste is full-bodied and robust with flowery notes. 
Edgar Allan Poe Black Tea - This dark, earthy blend evokes the damp tombs of Poe's stories. It combines the earthy tones of Pu'erh black with the mellow smokiness of Lapsang and the slightest citrus hint of an Earl Grey. The dried beetroot turns the brewed tea a deep blood red.

Each package makes approximately 6-8 cups and is labeled with the name of the tea and brewing information for each tea.

Packaged in a lovely black gift box, lined with an elegant tissue, and sealed with a decorative label, this black tea collection is perfect for you and all your tea friends.

Note: If any of these teas are out of stock we will substitute with a similar tea.
