Civil Disobedience
Smoky black tea with cardamom and tobacco notes
Lost in billows of smoke and fireside conversation. This dense, layered tea opens with conifers and deep tannins. The astringency of cardamom pod cuts through silky pipe tobacco and allspice. The flavor curls between burning wood, wet earth and lingering maple.
The Story Behind the Tea
This blend was inspired by childhood winters in New Hampshire with my late father: the glorious scent of pine and maple in the January maple harvest season. My father was a great admirer of Thoreau whose Walden is perhaps the most famous celebration of New England wilderness. I found the name Civil Disobedience (after Thoreau's essay) suitably bold, iconoclastic and evocative of the New England scentscape. — Gina, cofounder
