The inspiration for Bourbon Black Tea was conceived in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky where the commonwealth’s oldest tea company, Elmwood Inn Fine Teas, just happens to be surrounded by the world’s greatest collection of Bourbon distilleries. Even teetotalers will recognize the intoxicating aromas of Kentucky’s signature spirit as soon as the boiling water hits the leaves and releases delicious notes of caramel and vanilla. Lingering in the background is a subtle hint of char delivered by a bit of smoky Lapsang Souchong added by Elmwood’s Master Tea Blender Bruce Richardson. Earthy Yunnan black tea, reminiscent of a morning on a Kentucky farm, completes the complex flavor profile of this one-of-a-kind blend.
