Daisy's Afternoon Delight

Hey, Old Sport! Don't Forget Your Tea

Our Blood Orange Tea is Daisy’s perfect afternoon cuppa to be enjoyed on a sweltering summer day in East Egg. A simple orange rooibos is what those in the privileged manors of West Egg may enjoy but those with true taste know the delicate and bright flavor of a blood orange tea is far more desirable. Though this desirable brew is not unfamiliar to those in the West Egg, as the following quote was overheard at one of Gatsby’s parties, by a young gentleman:

‘I’ve been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library and drink a cup of blood orange rooibos tea’. What better cure for one’s vices could you possibly find?"

This why Daisy Buchanan, in her infinite beauty and good taste, prefers to keep her wits around those who have overindulged – while noting her husbands’ volatile vices - and this is where her Afternoon Delight blood orange tea blend is her drink of choice. Daisy Fey was the Golden Girl of Louisville and she is perfectly matched with the delicious golden hue of the rooibos base. This lush and exuberant blend begs to be enjoyed in a sunroom or on the veranda, with wind swirling the curtains, and vibrant jazz playing in the background. Though take care, Old Sport, this tea is for careless people so enjoy this Afternoon Delight but don’t spend too much time longing for your own green light.

Our blend begins with a Red Rooibos base, which is naturally sweet and caffeine-free. Then we add oranges, orange peel, natural orange flavoring, hibiscus, rose hips, and freeze-dried yogurt pieces (contains skim milk, yogurt, and sugar).
