Poet's Study

A harmonious balance of robust black tea and citrus noted bergamot oil, with a hint of floral sweetness.

Each 2oz handcrafted pouch of Poet's Study contains around 45 teaspoons of tea. That's 45 servings if you do the world standard 1 teaspoon in an 8oz teacup.

Most people in the U.S. use larger mugs made for coffee, though. For those, we recommend 1.5 teaspoons. You still get at least 30 strong servings in your favorite mug :)

If you're unsatisfied with your order, we'll refund it. No returns needed. It's that simple.

• Scoop 1.5 teaspoons into an infuser. We recommend our empty tea bags, mesh ball, or stainless steel infuser.
• Bring 12oz of water to a boil.
• Steep for 3-5 minutes.

(For iced tea, do half the amount of water and then pour over ice.)

Tea From: Sri Lanka / Albania

Regions: Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula, Uva / Tirana

Benefits of high alititude grown tea

• Exceptional Flavor & Aroma:

Our high-altitude teas are grown in cooler climates, allowing the tea plants to develop slowly and concentrate their flavor. The result? An extraordinarily rich, complex taste that you won't find in an ordinary big box store tea.

• Exclusivity & Rarity:

With limited production due to difficult terrain and growing conditions, high-altitude teas are harder to come by. This exclusivity adds to the desirability of every cup you steep.

• Hand-Harvested

Most of our high-altitude tea is carefully hand-plucked. Plucking luxury tea is a highly specialized skill that produces superior teas and provides good jobs to locals in the region. Reliance on hand plucking means that thousands of jobs are not replaced by machine. Japan is an exception. There, luxury teas are harvested by machine.

• Antioxidant Benefits:

Scientific studies suggest that these teas contain higher levels of beneficial antioxidants compared to lower-altitude varieties.

• Sustainably Grown, Ethically Sourced:

We’re committed to protecting the delicate mountain ecosystems where our tea is grown. Sustainable farming practices ensure we respect the environment and support the local communities that make our exceptional teas possible. Hand-plucking requires very little fossil fuel, and releases virtually no CO2.
