We created Malachi McCormick, a black tea blend of Assam and Keemun, – to honor its namesake, an Irish author and small-press publisher. Though his handmade book "A Decent Cup of Tea" is diminutive, Malachi McCormick's words speak volumes concerning the difficulty of finding well-prepared tea in hotels. "Malachi," as this tea has come to be known among its many fans, has long since become a favorite morning or afternoon cup. The 8 oz. and the 4 oz. loose tea tins still feature their original hand-drawn label design.

Ingredients: Black tea.

    Aroma
    Details: In the 1980's John Harney was at the barricades of the tea revolution. When Malachi McCormick hand published (on his tiny press) A Decent Cup of Tea, John fell in with this fellow traveler. Together they did a few tea projects; one was this tea. It has been described as 'a pure and simple tea that is unpretentious and affordable.'
     Dry Leaves: Simple black tea leaves.
     Liquor: Dark brown.
    Aroma: Since this is a blend of simple teas the aroma is muted malt and suggestive of cocoa.
     Flavors: The unpretenious flavors of muted dark honey and unsweetened cocoa. It is perfectly suited for milk (and more than a splash) and sugar.
     Caffeine Level:
    Caffeinated
     Body: Medium-bodied. As this is a British Legacy Tea, the body is strong, yet simple.º
     Brewing Time:
    4 to 5 minutes
     Brewing Temp: 212º
