Almond

Almonds are the seeds of the almond tree, a crop long grown around the Mediterranean and today widely in California. In tea blends, sliced or chopped almond pieces give a soft, nutty sweetness with a gentle marzipan aroma that rounds out the cup. They pair beautifully with black tea, rooibos and honeybush, and work especially well alongside cherry, vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate. Try an almond blend with a splash of milk for a cozy, pastry-like cup.
