West Village Breakfast Blend 2 oz
Many years ago, we opened our first Tea Bar in a little corner of a neighborhood natural food market in Asheville, NC. Rosanne, the owner, supported our vision of creating peace and friendship through providing tea and a friendly place to build community. A family of tea friends grew and blossomed over years of good conversation and small cups of tea. If you ever find yourself in the sweet city of Asheville, visit the West Village Market - a store for the People with the biggest heart!
Now, we know Ashevillians love their strong coffee along side their tea, so we dedicate this bodacious blend threefold: to all the good people of WNC who brew (many things in many ways), to all good humans who work to create beauty in the world everyday, and most especially to Rosanne, who made and makes so many things happen for her community..
Organic Assam, Nilgiri, Kenya and Chinese Keemun teas are masterfully blended to produce this incredibly rich, full-bodied, jammy, stout breakfast tea with aromatic floral and oaky notes (we tried to cover it all and think we did a pretty good job). With every sip, imagine the Blue Ridge mountains offering their mystical hospitality, wherever you are.
