This is more than just a cup of tea; it’s an infusion rich with history and steeped in the tradition of the world's most precious spices. It’s a harmonious combination of three powerful ingredients: rich Black Tea, aromatic Cardamom, and the legendary Saffron.
The Thread of Gold: Saffron
Known as "red gold," saffron is the world's most valuable spice by weight. Harvested by hand from the stamens of the crocus flower, its history stretches back thousands of years to ancient Persia, Greece, and Egypt. It was a symbol of wealth, used in everything from perfumes and dyes to medicinal potions and exquisite foods.
In our Golden Blend, saffron imparts not only its beautiful golden hue to the brew but also its unique, subtle flavour—a complex taste that is slightly sweet, earthy, and honey-like. In traditional wellness, it's celebrated for its unique antioxidant properties and its ability to lift the spirits.
The Queen of Spices: Cardamom
If saffron is the king of spices, cardamom is surely the queen. A cornerstone of Ayurvedic tradition and Middle Eastern hospitality, its intoxicating aroma is unforgettable.
Cardamom is a wonderfully "warming" spice, traditionally enjoyed after meals to create a sense of digestive comfort and wellbeing. Its complex flavour is simultaneously citrusy, minty, spicy, and herbal. It brings a fragrant, uplifting character to the robust black tea base, adding a layer of aromatic intrigue.
The Golden Blend Experience
Together, these ingredients create a brew that is both powerful and sophisticated. On a base of rich, full-bodied black tea, the warm, fragrant spice of cardamom leads the way, followed by the luxurious, honeyed finish of saffron.
This is the perfect tea for celebrating a small victory, for indulging in a quiet afternoon with a good book, or for sharing a truly special pot of tea with a friend. It’s a ritual to be savoured.
The Golden Blend is an invitation to experience a piece of history and treat yourself to a moment of affordable luxury.
