Wilde's Way (a tribute to Oscar Wilde)

A bold yet playful infusion—rich and spiced, with floral decadence and a cool afterthought, like a perfectly timed witticism. This tea is both indulgent and invigorating, full of contradictions, much like the man himself.

Ingredients:

• Irish Breakfast Tea – Dark, robust, and unapologetically strong, the backbone of the brew.
• Tulsi (Holy Basil) – A touch of the exotic, grounding yet subtly playful.
• Calendula – Bright, golden, and theatrical, like Wilde’s most extravagant remarks.
• Black Peppercorns – A sharp, unexpected bite—perfectly scandalous.
• Peppermint – A cool and refreshing finish, because a true dandy never loses composure.

Brew Upon Your Favor

1. Heat water to 205°F (96°C) – hot enough for drama, but not boiling over.
2. Steep for 4–5 minutes, allowing the flavors to unfold like a well-crafted epigram.
3. Strain and sip—milk and sugar transform it into something decadent, but taken black, it remains sharp and refined.
4. Optional: Drink from the finest cup you own, for aesthetic purposes, of course.

Tasty Notes:

First Sip: A bold Irish Breakfast entrance—deep, rich, impossible to ignore.

Mid-Palate: Tulsi and calendula dance together, warm and slightly floral.

Finish: Black pepper’s bite lingers, softened by a cooling peppermint flourish.

Best Enjoyed When:

• Making witty remarks at the expense of those who deserve them.
• Reading The Picture of Dorian Gray and wondering if beauty really is worth the price.
• Dressing fabulously, even if no one is there to see it.

A tea for poets, provocateurs, and those who know that life should be lived as an art form.
