Paperback Black

from $8.00

Bold, smooth, and as comforting as a well‑loved book.

This signature black tea blend brings together bold, malty Assam and smooth, cocoa‑tinged Keemun for a flavor that’s both familiar and quietly intriguing. A whisper of cacao nibs adds warmth, roundness, and that little something you can’t quite name but always want another sip of.

Brewed plain, it’s rich and steady. With milk, it becomes velvety and nostalgic. And when poured over ice, it transforms into a smooth, refreshing brew with just enough depth to stay interesting.

This is the kind of tea that you will want to keep coming back to… like your favorite paperback.
