Simpson & Vail Literary Tea: William Shakespeare

Gardens, herbs, and flowers appear in many of Shakespeare's plays and oftentimes play a critical role in his stories. The Simpson & Vail William Shakespeare tea blend is a combination of a few of the many herbs he references: lavender, roses, rosemary. The wit and playfulness of his verse means that Shakespeare's plays can still be enjoyed today, ideally with a warm cup of tea. 

This black tea and floral blend brews to an amber cup with a sweet, floral taste. The slightly earthy and woodsy notes are rounded out with the citrus taste of bergamot and sweet rose petals.

Ingredients: Rose Congou black tea, lavender petals, rose petals, rosemary and bergamot oil.

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.

4 Ounces of loose tea makes approximately 50 cups of tea.
