The roguish types among us already know, but those who don't frequent the underbelly of cities, the secret meeting places of abandoned buildings, ancient tunnels, and towering sewers, a Thieves' Cant is a pseudo-language folks in illicit trades use to communicate without others picking up on what they're up to. Something smooth and unassuming to not be overheard, clean and elegant for city-dwellers, and simultaneously wild and unrefined in its content.
This tea is for exactly those types, and embodies all of those traits. Clean and smooth in its classic black tea flavors, but with unique overtones from its Georgian terroir, giving it wild and unrefined notes of sweet candies, toasty breads, earth, and wild growth. Needing no sugar, nor milk, this whole-leaf tea is something fascinating, new, and exotic that is well worth your time.
