Merlin’s Morning

Description

Higitus figitus migitus mum, fill your cup and get the day done! Nothing quite gets Merlin’s mind working like a hot pot of tea with a side of sugar sass. Even when you can see into the future, a little morning pick-me-up goes a long way. Best to be prepared when the day could throw just about anything at you. You wouldn’t want to face a wizard’s duel or find yourself being hunted by a hungry fish with no zing in your step.

And nothing puts a zing in your step quite like a little zing in your cup. This classic breakfast tea combination starts with a strong black tea, then gets zapped with a touch of orange peel and cinnamon. While these additions give the blend a little more character than your typical breakfast tea, don’t expect the bold spice of a chai. The orange and cinnamon remain soft and subtle, complementing the natural character of the black tea rather than taking over the cup.

The result is a strong, warming brew with just a spark of citrus and spice—perfect for getting the gears turning before a day of magical lessons, marvelous adventures, or trying to convince a particularly stubborn young squire that education is important. After all, you never quite know what the future holds… unless, of course, you happen to be Merlin.

This tea is part of our Breakfast Tea Collection, bringing a little magic to the world of traditional breakfast teas. Think along the lines of familiar English and Irish Breakfast blends, but with each tea taking on a character all its own. These teas are crafted without added flavoring, allowing the natural character and complexities of the tea leaves to take center stage, sometimes accented with subtle ingredients like spices, blossoms, or citrus peel.
