Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Black Tea Blend - 1oz Pkg

While it’s not directly referenced in any Doyle novel which specific tea Sherlock preferred, we like to think that Doyle (as well as Sherlock) enjoyed the smoky, aromatic flavors of Lapsang Souchong tea which was favored in Doyle’s time, most notably by Winston Churchill.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Black Tea Blend - 1oz Pkg

So in making our Doyle tea blend we started with Lapsang Souchong tea then added some bourbon whiskey flavor, as a nod to Holmes’ penchant for imbibing, and rounded it off with black tea from Ceylon and a little wild cherry, alluding to Holmes’ cherrywood pipe.

The blend has a smoky, fruity aroma and brews to a mahogany cup that has a cherry forward taste with a lingering smoky bourbon taste. So put on the kettle, grab your cape and your deerstalker hat and find a comfortable place to enjoy a cup of Doyle’s tea while enjoying one of the many stories he wrote for our pleasure.
