Organic Black Tea with Orange 50g
Orange and black tea is one of those timeless pairings: orange lifts the malty, slightly tannic character of black tea, producing a sunny yet grounded cup. This organic version offers an especially clean profile — just black tea, orange peel and natural aroma, with no artificial additions.
Orange peel is not in many classic tea recipes by accident. Its aroma evokes sunshine, winter and celebrations all at once — a universally loved note. Combined with black tea it gives a characterful yet friendly cup that fits into anyone's daily rhythm.
Flavour notes
Orange peel's sweet, fragrant citrus jumps out even in the dry leaves. In the cup, the malty, full-bodied black tea holds the structure, while orange peel contributes both brightness and a slight bittersweet edge that gives the blend elegance. Many customers say this tea gives the kind of reassurance only well-known, reliable classics can offer.
When
Mornings, especially on sunny weekends; a lovely companion for afternoon meetings too. Pairs beautifully with light breakfasts, toast, or orange-flavoured bakes. It also holds up well to long silences — if you are writing or reading, it stays quietly in the background. A calm, dependable companion.
Brewing
Pour 200 ml of 90-95 °C water over 2-3 grams of tea. Steep 3-4 minutes and strain. A slice of fresh orange in the cup boosts the fruity mood. For a stronger blend, steep a little longer rather than adding more leaves — this brings out the orange character too.
Tips
Summer version: a 4-6 hour cold brew with ice and a slice of fresh lemon makes a refreshing iced tea. Christmas gift idea: combine with a few whole cloves in a jar for a personalised winter tea blend.
About orange peel
Orange peel is valued not only for its aromatics — thanks to its essential oil content, it keeps releasing aroma during longer steeps without turning bitter. This is one reason it features in so many classic tea blends. Dried orange peel also preserves the pleasant citrus scent we enjoy in fresh fruit, making it an ideal companion in a tea cup.
Storage
Store in a tightly sealed jar or tin, away from light and humidity. Orange peel aromas lose intensity quickly when exposed to moisture — keep it sealed.
Customer feedback
Many of our returning customers pick this tea as an "uncommitted" gift — a way to offer warmth without making the gesture feel too personal or too expensive. A 50 g pouch of black tea with orange peel: thoughtful without being weighty.
