Description

This blend was created with classic sweet tea in mind—something you’d sip on a front porch in the heartland, looking out over the pasture on a warm summer day. I wanted it to feel familiar and refreshing, but with a little extra depth and character. By adding cedar tips and lavender, this blend becomes more than just sweet tea—it’s a comforting, timeless experience in a cup.

Flavor Profile:

Bold Ceylon black tea gives this blend its strong backbone, perfect for sweetening with honey or sugar. Spearmint adds a cool freshness, orange peel brings a bright citrus spark, and lavender contributes a gentle floral touch. The addition of cedar tips gives the tea a grounding, woodsy note that makes it uniquely ours—classic, refreshing, and layered.

Ingredients:

Ceylon black tea, spearmint, cedar tips, orange peel, lavender.

Loose Leaf Brewing Tips:

Use 1 Tbsp per 8–16 oz hot water (180°–190°). Steep for 5–8 minutes. Save the contents for a second brew.

Iced Tea Brewing Tips:

Use 1 Tbsp per 8 oz water. For iced tea kits, add the tea to the built-in steeper, pour in hot water, and brew for at least 10 minutes. Remove the steeper, sweeten with sugar or honey while warm, then refrigerate. Serve over ice for the perfect porch-side treat.

A Little Note:

Black teas and blends like this are forgiving—longer steeps create a stronger, heartier brew that holds up beautifully to sweetener. Quality loose leaf teas can be resteeped for a second cup, especially when the first steep is kept on the lighter side.
