Black Sesame

$7.92 ~~$10.85~~ In stock

Black Sesame is our loose leaf tea blend built on contrast. Our Nepalese tea brings smooth, high-elevation sweetness, while the Chinese tea adds a soft, lingering whisper of smoke. Together, they create the exact foundation the black sesame needs—balanced, layered, and quietly complex.

It took us months of R&D to find the right balance—black sesame’s rich, distinctive character means you need the perfect tea base, or it either overwhelms the cup or disappears entirely.

Our breakthrough came when we stopped searching for one exact tea base and started testing combinations. The answer: a Nepalese tea and a lightly smoked Chinese black tea working together.

That soft smoky whisper underneath the sweetness is exactly what I want from a cup at night. The two teas play off each other nicely — Nepalese for the smooth base, Chinese for that lingering finish. Steeped it a touch long by accident and it still didn't turn bitter.

The high-elevation sweetness really comes through first, and that smoky whisper lingers just long enough to make each sip interesting. Brewed it at work and the whole cup stayed smooth without any bitterness, even as it cooled down.

The smoke on the back end is so subtle it almost surprises you, but it’s exactly what keeps each sip interesting. I’ve been brewing it in the morning and the high-elevation sweetness cuts through nicely without any bitterness. Already on my second bag.
