Gold Rush - Orange Rosemary Caramel Black Tea

Caramel cake, candied orange peel, and a surprising lift of rosemary — a black tea that tastes like a golden afternoon.

Gold Rush is a mild black tea blend that reads like a bakery: silky caramel and bright candied orange, kept clean and aromatic by a touch of rosemary that stops it from ever turning too sweet. It has a satisfying mouthfeel with a little bite, and an aroma that fills the kitchen before you've taken a sip.

Add milk and the whole cup softens — the citrus turns sweeter, the rosemary mellows, and it becomes a luscious orange-caramel-cake moment.

What It Tastes Like

Candied orange peel, caramel cake, and rosemary over a rich Assam and South Indian black tea base. Cozy enough for fall, bright enough to drink year-round.

How to Brew

Use about one tablespoon (3.5 g) of loose tea per 10 oz of boiling water and steep 4–5 minutes — longer is stronger. Beautiful plain, and even better as a tea latte with milk or a creamy alternative.
