THE BLEND
Malt opens first: followed by a smooth wave of woodsmoke that settles in before the whole cup closes with a faint lift of cornflower. Built into a blend that rewards the mornings you actually give yourself, it combines Sri Lankan and Kenyan Orange Pekoe with Assam and Lapsang Souchong.
THE FJORD
A kettle hangs over a campfire on a Norwegian fjord at first light. Behind the tent, a whale breaks the surface of the still water. The smoke from the fire drifts toward the mountains. Nobody planned that moment. Nobody needed to. Some things just happen when you stop staring at a screen and start paying attention to the world that is actually in front of you. This tea was built around exactly that kind of morning, the one you remember long after the trip is over.
FROM THE PLANET
Lapsang Souchong from Xingchun in Fujian Province, China, is pine-smoke dried using a process unchanged for generations. This Camellia sinensis variety develops a smoke character entirely naturally through the drying process. Studies suggest the phenolic compounds developed during pine-smoke drying carry digestive and warming properties with a long place in Chinese herbal practice. The malty structure of Indian Assam black tea provides a grounding foundation that supports a focused morning.

Circular thinking: your caddy or tin is built to be refilled. When the tea runs out, the artwork stays. Order a refill pouch and keep going. Your packaging choice matters so we offer two options: certified home compostable pouches that break down naturally in 10 to 12 weeks, or our I'm Green recyclable pouches made from sugarcane. Both are better than single use. Neither belongs in landfill. Everything else in your order, from the tissue paper to the tape, is either compostable or recyclable.
