Nutty Teas

The warmth hits you before the first sip. Toasted grain, roasted nuts, the deep caramel edge of a pan-fired leaf. These teas don't announce themselves sharply. They settle in, richly, the way the best things do. Some earn that warmth through craft: a green tea leaf pan-fired until chestnut notes develop; roasted rice folded through a Japanese blend. Others build it deliberately with hazelnut brittle, cocoa husks, and almonds. Both end up in the same place. Warm, deep, worth the cup.
