Description

Premium black tea from China flavored with a spoonful of island rum. An intoxicating treat, delectable both hot and cold. If you like Amaretto or Bourbon tea and have yet to try gourmet rum tea, you'll be pleasantly surprised by its superior taste. Indulge your taste buds. Give our Rum Tea a try.

Story

The birth of rum dates back to the early 16th Century, not long after the foundation of the sugar plantations in the West Indies. Until the voyages of Christopher Columbus, sugar was a luxury product, and much sought-after, having originally been brought from India via Venice by Persian traders. Initially, the colonist were alone to imbibe this new drink. But soon it found favor in Europe as well. The British Navy took to it heartily once it was discovered that rum can weather a long sea voyage better than beer.

"Tasted like black tea to me. I was expecting a rum aftertaste, scent or something. I was disappointed."

"A good mixer tea. I'm not too fond of it alone like lapsang souchong it is a bit overpowering and you will regret drinking it alone quickly."

"I couldn't really taste the rum. It was rather bland. Maybe it would make a good mixer."
