Looking for a Scot? On the Rocks?

Fans of Outlander, you don’t need to look any further. Our dark and robust black tea blend, A Scot on the Rocks will provide you with a dark, enticing cup of whiskey tea that will make you feel like you are being whispered to in a brooding Scottish brogue, and it won’t matter that you are sitting on rocks!

This tea blend is inspired by none other than Diana Gabaldon’s Scottish Highlander, James Fraser. Like its namesake, we start off with a full-bodied, malty black Assam tea and then we add hazelnuts and almonds, a little hazelnut brittle, and top it off with our own bourbon whiskey infused sugar. Talk about the perfect recipe! Try adding a finger of whiskey and you will have yourself a lovely nighttime tea treat. Or, use this blend to make an infused ice cream, then cover it with hot chocolate sauce.

Black tea can become bitter if it is steeped too long, because it releases too many tannins into the water. Pay close attention to the brewing instructions so you do not burn the tea leaves. If this happens, try adding a bit of honey or agave to absorb the bitterness. Why not give it a try iced. This blend would be great to try your hand at cold brewing. Use room temperature water, add your leaves to a jar or pitcher and sit in your refrigerator overnight. You will find a delicious treat waiting for you in the morning!
