• David's Tea  - Cream of Earl Grey or Valerian Nights (flavors sent at random)

Cream of Earl Grey: Lovers of Earl Grey tea adore this creamy alternative to the original breakfast blend. You’ll recognize the same high-quality black tea, the same citrus burst of bergamot oil, the same beautiful grey-blue petals. However this version adds a touch of vanilla, and the result is an unexpectedly rich, creamy taste experience. Try it on its own or as a satisfying tea latte.

What makes it great

• A vanilla twist on the classic Earl Grey.
• Amazing infused into desserts. Try adding a shot to your next custard or crème brûlée.
• Makes a killer London Fog. Just add hot frothed milk and a bit of agave.

Valerian Nights: Relax and unwind with a scrumptious caffeine-free infusion of rich caramel and creamy coconut. It’s sweet. It’s decadent. And it’ll have you pyjama-ready thanks to its calming base of valerian root – one of nature’s most popular sleepytime ingredients. Did we mention it’s dairy-free? Take it from us – this is one nightcap you’ll look forward to all day.

What makes it great

• Our first valerian tea was such a hit, we created a sweeter, more decadent version to help satisfy your nighttime cravings.
• What makes this infusion so relaxing? It contains calming valerian root (a.k.a. nature’s valium).
• It’s dairy-free!
