Volcanic Tea

Volcanic Tea - 15 bags

Earth, fire, and the frozen wild. Volcanic Tea is a high-contrast, exhilarating blend designed to mirror the raw energy of a subterranean eruption. By combining a deep black tea base with the sharp heat of rose pepper, the citrus spark of orange, and the hardy sweetness of wild crowberries, we’ve created a brew that is both smoky and bright—a true tribute to the Land of Fire and Ice.

The Wild (Icelandic Ingredients):

• Crowberries (Krækiber): These dark, resilient berries are hand-gathered from the windswept heaths. They provide a tart, tannic backbone and a deep, obsidian hue to the infusion, echoing the color of volcanic rock.

• Birch Leaves (Birkilauf): Harvested from the hardy Arctic birch, these leaves add a refreshing, woodsy clarity that cuts through the richness of the blend, like new growth emerging from a lava field.

The Blend:

• Base: Premium Black Tea provides a dark, full-bodied foundation that carries the weight of the spices and fruit.

• Fire: Rose Pepper (Pink Peppercorns) delivers a gentle, aromatic heat and a floral spice that lingers warmly in the throat.

• Zest: Orange Peel adds a bright, sun-drenched acidity to lift the darker notes of the tea and berries.

• Flavor Profile: A bold and complex journey. It begins with the comforting depth of black tea and citrus, followed by the tart crunch of wild berries, ending with a sophisticated, peppery glow.

Why These Ingredients?

In our Volcanic Tea, we’ve selected ingredients that embody the dramatic forces of the Icelandic landscape:

• Antioxidant Power: Crowberries and Birch leaves are packed with Arctic antioxidants, evolved to survive extreme conditions and traditionally used to strengthen the body’s defenses.

• The Warming Glow: Rose pepper isn’t just for flavor; it’s chosen for its ability to stimulate circulation and provide a "thermal" sensation, perfect for warming up after a hike across a glacier.

• Invigorating Spirit: The combination of caffeine from the Black Tea and the uplifting scent of Orange Zest provides a mental spark, designed to fuel your next adventure.

Brewing Suggestion: Use 1–2 teaspoons per cup. Steep in 90°C water for 2–4 minutes. This blend thrives with a full-heat steep to extract the spice from the rose pepper and the deep color from the crowberries. Best enjoyed black to appreciate the play of heat and fruit, or with a tiny bit of sugar to make the berry notes pop.
