Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Named for Blackwall Yard, the historic London dockyard where clipper ships once arrived bearing tea from China and India, this distinctive flavored black tea reveals a lively citrus character layered with pronounced sweetness. Its complex aroma weaves together notes of Burgundy, coconut, and vanilla-caramel in a fragrant harmony. Bourbon vanilla deepens the citrus profile, accentuating the natural rum essence in the light amber cup. The smooth finish lingers with gentle hints of lime and spice.
