Earl of Westfjords | Black Tea

A bold, sophisticated reimagining of a timeless classic. The Earl of Westfjords takes the noble character of traditional Earl Grey and infuses it with the untamed spirit of the Icelandic fjords. This is a robust black tea where the bright citrus of bergamot meets the deep, botanical soul of the North.

The Wild (Icelandic Ingredients):

• Arctic Angelica Seeds: Providing a complex, earthy foundation and a peppery warmth that elevates the citrus notes.

• Arctic Angelica Leaves: Adding a unique herbal brightness and a distinct "wild" green profile that balances the strength of the black tea.

The Blend:

• Base: Premium Black Tea (Ceylon & Assam blend).

• Citrus: Pure Bergamot Oil for that iconic, aromatic lift.

• Botanical: Double-dose of Angelica (Leaves & Seeds) for unmatched depth and texture.

Flavor Profile:

A powerful opening of bright bergamot and malty black tea, transitioning into a sophisticated, savory herbal heart, and finishing with the clean, lingering warmth of Arctic seeds.

Why Arctic Angelica?

In this blend, the "King of Herbs" (ætihvönn) acts as the perfect northern counterpart to the Mediterranean bergamot, offering more than just its incredible flavor:

• Natural Vitality: Historically used by Vikings as a source of strength, it provides a natural "pick-me-up" alongside the caffeine of the black tea.

• Digestive Clarity: The combination of bitter compounds in the seeds and leaves is renowned for supporting a healthy metabolism and easing digestion.

• Resilience in a Cup: Just as the plant thrives in the steep cliffs of the Westfjords, this tea is crafted to fortify you against the elements.

Brewing Suggestion: Use 1 teaspoon per cup. Steep in 90°C water for 2–4 minutes. This tea is strong enough to be enjoyed with a splash of milk, which beautifully complements the earthy notes of the Angelica.
