This tea is so well named and described. I love a bit of plum influence in my tea, and this certainly has that in the best possible way while the anise aspect is also noticeable and so delicious. This tea is incredibly elegant with no sharp edges. It is bold, though. It is not a weak tea by any means. As I said, the name is quite apt! I love it. I needed a good afternoon Darjeeling.

A smooth and voluminous cup. The aromatics of an evening forest are sweetened by a tangy plum and cocoa character. It has enough niceties and nuance to bring nostalgia to even the most stoic of tea drinkers.
Velvety Black Tyrant is a blend of FTGFOP1 leaf grades from the Castleton and Margaret’s Hope Estates produced summer of 2026 in Darjeeling, India.
