Rum Pot: Limited Release Barrel Aged Black Tea

Rum Pot is comprised of Colombian Black Tea grown atop the West Andes mountains in rich, volcanic soil. It has a wiry black appearance and is subtly sweet, lightly astringent and expresses balanced aromas of coca and dried fruit. Colombia is not widely known as a tea growing region, but this new origin is bringing some very interesting teas to the table, such as Bitaco (Colombian Black Tea). The uniqueness of this blend pairs beautifully with the warmth of licorice root, the tart juiciness of hibiscus flower and the spice of star anise, crafting a tea that is medium bodied with a dark cranberry-like liquor color.
