Black Gold
with Cardamom Pods & Rose Petals
$48/ 4 oz box · ~45 cups
This is the Black Gold base — top 1% whole-leaf Ceylon with bergamot and four oils — married to whole green cardamom pods and Persian rose petals. In other words, a Persian Earl Grey: floral, warming, and faintly sweet before a single grain of sugar.
Cardamom and rose have perfumed Persian tea for centuries. Here they sit over a genuine whole-leaf base, not dust — the cup that turns an ordinary afternoon into an occasion.

The Ritual
How to brew it
Bring fresh water to a rolling boil and warm the pot. Steep one teaspoon of whole leaf per cup for 4–5 minutes over the samovar until the brew runs deep red — the concentrated dam. Pour a measure into the glass and top with hot water to taste. Serve with a sugar cube on the tongue, dates, or a wedge of citrus. Then, simply, stay.
