Step back into the 18th century with our Midnight Blend, a tea that captures the essence of colonial elegance and intrigue. This blend marries the smoky depth of Bohea—the period's most popular tea leaf—with the bright, brisk notes of Ceylon tea. Dried orange peel adds a subtle citrus aroma, reminiscent of the French custom of infusing tea with orange water during that era. Named after the ship Midnight, known for smuggling luxury items like tea into Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, this blend offers a taste of history in every cup. Enjoy it as a robust breakfast tea or a refined afternoon indulgence, and let each sip transport you to the bustling ports and clandestine soirées of colonial North America.​

Note: The inclusion of orange peel pays homage to the French tradition of flavouring teas with orange essence during the 18th century. ​
