Matthias, Our Tea Craftsman's Inspiration for Jasper & Gold’s Golden Breakfast:
I envisioned Golden Breakfast as the perfect morning ritual, a blend that would awaken the senses and inspire a sense of clarity and purpose. The combination of four distinct premium black teas and aromatic cloves creates a symphony of flavors that is both invigorating and grounding, setting the stage for a productive and fulfilling day.
This blend is a tribute to the vibrant energy of London, a city that seamlessly blends tradition and innovation. It's an elevated tea ritual for those who appreciate the finer things in life, who seek moments of quiet contemplation amidst the hustle and bustle of their day.
2025 Black Tea Special, Artisan Tea Update: In light of the Black Tea Special of Fall 2025, we decided to elevate this blend using a selection of four distinct Chinese artisan teas. I crafted this formula to maximize the creamy, malty notes of the Yunnan Gold Needle and Golden Honey Aroma while balancing the unsmoked Traditional Lapsang with the heavy smoke of the Lapsang Souchong. This ensures a rich, full-bodied taste that is perfectly robust for mornings and creamy milk teas.
