Blossom Dearie - Tea for Two
Blossom Dearie Tea is our homage to the great singer. It's a black tea with an aroma of red flowers, honey, and lends to a soft and silky texture. It is rich and alluring, like a song that never gets old.
It's naturally grown in the lowlands of Hualien and is the life's work of a family matriarch. Made with a rarely used variety from Fujian, the tea is sweet and elegant.
