A fantastic anytime tea blend served in finer restaurants. Commanding a bright, hearty and very well-rounded liquor derived from a proprietary blend of Indian and Ceylon teas.

Teacup's 2008 pick for a classic tippy Assam is the most classic in recent history. Malty, warm, with a golden afternote. Like the Assams of old with notes of chocolate and peaches. Truly a wonderful cup, and one we'll be missing when it's gone.

A medium bodied black with an earthy undercurrent. A rare tea in America and a consistent Teacup customer request.

Our Ceylon is dark, strong, and smooth. This tea is very enjoyable with or without milk and/or sweetener. A fantastic tea at a great price.

A traditional breakfast blend of Chinese black teas, including Keemun, Yunnan, and other Chinese black teas. Sweet and flavorful with overtones of spice. Lovely as your first morning cup of tea. A treat for all of our black tea lovers and a return to what "English Breakfast" used to be.

Exquisite bouquet, balanced muscatel flavor exemplifying the “champagne of teas”. Best when steeped short.

Our CO₂ decaffeinated English Breakfast. A traditional black blend decaffeinated, but still tasty and satisfying.

We've been special ordering this black breakfast blend from our famous tea scenter Dammann Frères several times a year by consistent demand until we finally just gave up and added this lovely black tea to our list. A classic blend of Darjeeling, Ceylon, and Assam teas perfected into an outstanding morning cup by blenders who have been practicing their craft for more than 40 years. One taste and you'll see why Teacup customers have been clamoring for this tea.

A Teacup blend based on the English tradition of afternoon teas, like those served world wide in the finest afternoon tea rooms. These Chinese and Indian black teas make a luscious blend with a scent of flowers and a rich body ready for milk or sugar, or simply to be taken alone as an afternoon treat.

Finally! A decaffeinated tea that can stand up to the name Irish Breakfast. Teacup staff worked for almost a year custom blending CO2 decaffeinated African, Indian, and Sri Lankan teas to create this robust and flavorful decaffeinated black tea. As with any Irish Breakfast, this tea is great with milk and/or sugar or just by itself anytime of the day or night.

A robust, invigorating, malty blend of black teas…a great tea with breakfast or lunch. Our Irish Breakfast tea blend produces a fuller-bodied, more assertive brew than our English Breakfast.

In our continuing efforts to find wonderful Darjeeling despite the weather and growing issues that have plagued that region, we started tasting teas from around Darjeeling proper. Our explorations are yielding some very happy surprises. Tea from the Sikkim region to the west provides a slightly stronger cup and we've had a great example for a little while now.

Nepal, to the north and farther up into the Himalayan hills, also grows tea, and we were lucky enough to find a lovely example of this region's tea. The Jun Chiyabari Estate grows tea itself as well as helping other small local estates sell their teas by creating a co-op of growers to produce a range of teas. This tea from the Jun Chiyabari estate is an outstanding example of what we hope is the future of economic development in this region. The same flavors that bring us all to the Darjeeling region are clearly present in this tea: a bright upper note, with a sparkle and nose that clearly comes from the Himalayan hills. Much like a first or second flush from farther south, this tea has an intriguing after note that leaves us wanting "just another cup" until we've drunk the day away. Surely we will all be waiting eagerly for the next crop when the chest we flew in is in gone.

A strong black tea, robust and intense. A great staple for black tea lovers. Wonderful with milk and sugar.

A stunning new Assam; like nothing we've ever seen before. When the Satrupa Estate in upper Assam discovered that one hillside could produce this odd extremely long leafed tea they decided to give a non-traditional drying method a try. We are so glad they did, and you will be too.

This is the best Assam we've had in years. These odd leaves produce the perfect cup of Assam. Dark and malty without the tannic aftertaste Assam lovers have learned to bear. We can't recommend this tea enough. Though we are a bit worried about recommending it too much. With the limited supply we're worried about running out and then what would we drink?

Note: This non-traditional leaf has much more volume for its weight than most Assams, so will require more volume (but the same weight) per cup than you may be used to.

Full-bodied, richer flavor and perfume than our regular Keemun. Sipping this tea, you understand why Keemun is one of China’s Ten Most Famous Teas.

A type of Keemun a bit different from ordinary. Long leaf tea, so long it carries the Chinese words for “hand-made tightly twisted curly tea” leaves often reserved for green tea. Though the leaves might lead to think otherwise, the truth in the cup will tell you this tea is clearly Keemun. Dark and sweet, with a cherry finish, this is a grade or two above most Keemun's you've probably tried, and with a quality well beyond what its price would lead you to believe. A true treat for any Chinese tea lover, and something we’ll all be craving after it’s gone.

A full-bodied “congou” tea imported from the Anhui in China. Deeply complex like a fine sherry.

Kenyan tea has increasingly become recognized as one of the world’s best black teas, and has made its way into many of the blended teas in the world. Strong and dark, this tea is often the basis of Irish breakfast or other strong teas in teabags as well as the basis of many scented teas.

Offered here in its pure form, this CTC tea will please all of those that want a good cup of tea with or without additives. Expect a dark rich cup, full of the taste you’re looking for in a great black tea.

Pungent, full-bodied breakfast tea that lives up to Assam’s reputation as one of the strongest teas in the world. This is a wonderful world-class “self-drinker”.

From a Darjeeling, India tea estate with a long-standing reputation for producing teas that help set the standard, this tea delivers the classic, complex astringency for which Darjeelings are known.

This even-tempered black tea comes to us from the Blue Hills of Southern India. An enjoyable tea for drinking hot, it also makes a great summer tea when brewed, cooled, and splashed over ice with a squeeze of lemon.

Bold, strong, assertive and a pleasing way to greet the morning.

A traditional and organic black tea with a medium to full body. This blend stands up very well to milk or cream. A great way to start the day, or for that matter, any time you desire a bold, even-tempered black tea.

From the high plateau of Southwestern China. Golden-brown leaves put forth a slight peppery, lively liquor and a pronounced aroma.
