Organic Narnaja Black Tea – 50g

An organic black tea with orange peel, blended in India — a 50g tin of black tea leaves with citrus warmth, bright enough to drink without milk but rounded enough to take it. What's in the Cup Indian origin black tea makes up 87% of the blend, giving it a firm, structured base that doesn't become thin or watery as it cools. Orange peel at 10% brings a clean, natural citrus note — dried peel rather than flavouring, so the aroma comes from actual fruit rather than synthetics. The result is a tea that smells distinctly of orange before it's brewed and delivers that note throughout the cup without it becoming overpowering or perfumed. It works as a morning tea brewed strong with a splash of milk, or as an afternoon cup taken black where the citrus sits lighter on the palate. 50g is approximately 25 standard servings — enough for a few weeks of daily use or a leisurely first exploration of the blend. Blend and Tin Black tea (87%), orange peel (10%), no artificial flavourings or added oils. The tin is 6.5 × 6.5 × 7 cm — the same compact format across the Mandala Leaves range, making it easy to keep a small collection without cluttering a counter. Net weight 60g including packaging. Brewing Steep 1–2 teaspoons in freshly boiled water for 3–5 minutes. Shorter steeping keeps the citrus note fresh and bright; longer times deepen the black tea body but can make the orange feel slightly more bitter. Serve black or with a splash of milk. The orange peel releases its oils gradually, so the second steep of the same leaves can be pleasant if slightly lighter. Orange and Black Tea The combination of citrus peel and black tea has a long history in European tea blending traditions — bergamot in Earl Grey is the most famous example, but dried orange and lemon peel have been used in similar ways. This blend uses orange peel rather than bergamot oil, giving it a warmer, less floral character than Earl Grey and a slightly heavier fruit presence. Size and Details Tin: 6.5 × 6.5 × 7 cm. Contents: 50g. Seal the lid after each use; store away from strong-smelling foods and spices. Best within 12–18 months of opening. Gift Considerations A good gift for black tea drinkers who want something slightly unusual without straying far from familiar territory. The Narnaja tin is clean and compact — it fits neatly into a gift basket alongside a mug or other tins from the Mandala Leaves range. Common Questions Is the orange flavour from natural peel or added flavouring? Dried orange peel is listed as an ingredient at 10% — the citrus flavour and aroma come from the peel itself, not from added essential oil or artificial flavouring. Can Narnaja black tea be brewed cold? Yes — cold brew for 6–8 hours in the fridge with cold water (approximately 1–2 teaspoons per 250ml). The orange note comes through gently in cold brew and makes a pleasant summer iced tea. Does this tea pair well with food? The orange-citrus note makes it a natural companion with light pastries, shortbread, or dark chocolate. The full black tea body holds its own against richer foods too.
