Spirit Tea-Sunstone

Spirit Tea is dedicated to preserving the integrity of tea from cultivation to preparation, infusion, and experience. They believe in tea- that a great cup is the result of passion and relationships. From their home in Chicago, Sprit Teas has dedicated itself to connecting expert cultivators in countries of origin to the passionate industry professionals who serve their handiwork.

Whether gazing through the red cliffs of a canyon, or lost in a forest of towering grey stones, the sun’s radiance and warmth finds you. Grown in the cradle of tea, Sunstone is a breakfast tea unlike any other, which is why it sits at the heart of our collection. Each season, we combine a selection of black tea terroirs from Southwestern China, melding them for a sturdy and satisfying base to a morning—or whatever time it finds you. The infusion is full-bodied and always low in astringency. The taste strikes a dynamic chord between breakfast tea boldness and savorable complexity.
