Black Pearl

By The St. James Tearoom

Fruit Scented Black Tea
Signature Tastes

organic jasmine and vanilla

Black Pearl

White jasmine blossoms, rich vanilla, and black tea leaves―the delicate blend that makes this tea truly unusual. The fragrant perfume of jasmine wafts from the cup, while a sip reveals the smoothness and sweetness vanilla brings to it. Sweeten with white sugar, but milk will intrude on the delicate flavors found herein.
