- English Breakfast: Robust blend of Assam, Ceylon, and Kenyan teas
- Earl Grey: Flavored with bergamot oil for a citrusy note
- Darjeeling: Light, floral tea from India’s West Bengal region
- Assam: Malty, full-bodied tea from Northeast India
- Keemun: Smooth Chinese tea with subtle chocolate notes
Each variety offers different flavor profiles based on growing region, processing methods, and any added flavors or spices. Climate, soil conditions, and harvest timing also influence the final taste.
