Sicilian Vespers, one of the finest blended white teas in the world!

We are always eager to enjoy a new white tea, and our host, Red Leaf Tea, has brought a great new brand to the market.  This  new blended flavor is called the Sicilian Vespers, a great mix of white tea with floral sweeteners and a cabernet wine infusion.  The delicate white leaf successfully retains is flavor in this blend, while the rich and robust flavor of the cabernet is modulated to accent rather than overwhelm the brew.  Sicilian Vespers are also sweetened with a mixture of chrysanthemum and osmanthus.  These blossoms are strongly flavored, but the measured balance of this tea is fine enough to incorporate the aroma and sugar.  We can confidently recommend it for afternoons or mornings!
