The Library - Malty Black Tea
Couldn't load pickup availability
Tastes Like: buttered toast, brown bread, almond
Feels Like: morning in the library
Picture the dark wooden walls of a library lined with rows of books, like the iconic Long Room of Trinity College in Dublin. There is a seductive atmosphere that is both austere and comforting. The bready aroma of this tea is complemented by the unique nuttiness of caraway. This high grade black assam tea has a velvety mouthfeel and rich flavor. Hints of cocoa and sweet almond aromas enliven the mix, like the occasional contemporary novel whose glossy cover pops against the worn literary classics. A drop of milk tips the flavor towards a smooth creamy stout. Like sinking into a stately club chair to ponder the pages between your hands, this tea invites reflection. This makes a rich breakfast tea, and a great afternoon tea with shortbread or cherry scones.

Each product lists its own specifics in the Details tab above. A few cozy rules of thumb by category:
- Apparel: wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle. Lay flat or hang to dry, and steam rather than iron.
- Home pieces: spot-clean or wipe down unless the label says otherwise; keep away from prolonged direct sun.
- Candles: trim the wick to ~¼" before each burn, keep the first burn going until the top melts evenly, and never leave a flame unattended.
- Teas: store in a cool, dry spot away from light to keep them fresh and fragrant.
Treated kindly, these little comforts last well beyond their first season.
We're a small shop built around one simple idea: home should feel like a warm exhale — what you wear, what fills your space, what's in your cup.
