This dark, earthy blend evokes the damp tombs of Poe’s stories. While it is perhaps the most well known, The Cask of Amontillado is not Poe’s only story in which his fear of being buried alive becomes a major plot point. His vivid descriptions of “utter darkness among a quantity of loose earth” that “threaten[ed] to bury [him] entirely” offered a direction for this blend. It combines the earthy tones of Pu­erh black with the mellow smokiness of Lapsang and the slightest citrus hint of an Earl Grey. The dried beetroot turns the brewed tea a deep blood red.

Allergens:

Simpson & Vail's facility is not a certified allergen-free or gluten-free facility.

Tree Nuts:

They inventory in their warehouse allergens (coconuts and almonds) that are used in a few of their blends. They take every precaution to prevent cross-contamination by using separate, dedicated scales, scoops and mixing bins for each allergen.

Gluten:

Teas: All their teas are gluten free.
Flavours: All flavours are gluten free.
The coconut & almonds they stock are gluten free.
Herbs: They make every effort to source gluten free herbs. Some of their herbal suppliers, using an over-abundance of caution, will not make any gluten free claims. That makes them unable to state with 100% certainty that all items in the building are gluten free.

GMO's: 

Their teas do not contain ingredients that have been genetically modified.
