An ancient legend tells of how the Tibetan monks would prepare this blend of tea, plants and flowers in the greatest of secrecy. After several days of soaking, the leaves were carefully plucked out and put to one side.
By this mysterious alchemy, the monks turned the tea into gold and gave it its exceptional scent.
Black and green tea blend.
In French, Thé des Moines means "Tea of the Monks".
Delicious with dark chocolate!

Probably my favorite tea on the site! It's very similar to Paris for Her, which I think has been discontinued.

If you enjoy Lady Grey tea you will like this one. It's milder, but has that citrus element to it. I reach for this tea often as a good morning black tea! Perfect with some cream.
