“Another from Cameron B a while ago, thanks very much! This one sounded ideal for reading. Assam and keemun and yunnan for caffeine power? Yup. It looks like they include more leaf than usual...” Read full tasting note
A chocolatey, nutty and malty blend of black teas, best accompanied by stacks of manuscripts that need reviewing. Originally commissioned by the UBC Press.
Originally blended: 2022
This black tea blend is a smooth and faintly acidic mix of Keemun, Assam and Yunnan teas that carries subtle notes of chocolate, nuts and malt. Previously this blend was available in teabag form through the UBC bookshop as part of UBC Press’s 50th anniversary (2021).
Fans of Platinum Jubilee and Editor’s Blend will enjoy this pleasant evening tea.
Ingredients: Black tea (Keemun, Assam, Yunnan)

Another from Cameron B a while ago, thanks very much! This one sounded ideal for reading. Assam and keemun and yunnan for caffeine power? Yup. It looks like they include more leaf than usual for a teabag. Unfortunately, I think these brew better in warmer weather, as when it is cold, the teabag seems to keep air in it, meaning the leaves aren’t steeping as much as I’d like. Maybe I should take the leaves out of the teabag…. The flavor is decent— like I said, somehow better in warmer weather, stronger. Assam, keemun and yunnan sounds like one of my ideal combinations, so this should be really good. Malty! I HAVE had it a few times now, more frequently than most teas, so I must like it…
Steep #1 // 1 teabag for a full mug // 19 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 4 minute steep
OOH…this sounds very much like one I could cuddle up with.
They do offer it in loose leaf as well!
