When the Day Turns to Embers...
There’s a moment, just after sunset, when the air still hums with the memory of work and motion - yet the world begins to slow. That’s when The Gilded Flame Tea, part of the Gilded Flame Collection, invites you to pause.
Bold and bourbon-inspired, this black tea blend is a ritual of unwinding - a fireside companion for evenings that call for warmth, grit, and a touch of old-world comfort.
This is your hearth in a cup - smoky, spiced, and filled with golden calm.
The Alchemy of Fire: Ingredients & Wellness Benefits
The Gilded Flame brings together Keemun Concerto, lapsang souchong, whiskey flavoring, cocoa nibs, rose hips, vanilla, and candy apple. Each ingredient plays a role in creating a tea that comforts the body while sparking the imagination.
Black Tea: The Grounding Flame
At its core, black tea provides gentle strength and focus. It’s high in caffeine, but unlike coffee, it releases energy slowly - helping you unwind the mind while reawakening the spirit.
Health Benefits of Black Tea:
-
Supports mental alertness and focus through caffeine and L-theanine.
-
Rich in polyphenols and antioxidants for immune and heart health.
-
Aids digestion and helps balance metabolism after a heavy meal.
-
Provides a grounding ritual for transition between work and rest.
Lapsang Souchong & Keemun: The Smoke and Song
These two legendary Chinese teas add depth and distinction.
-
Lapsang Souchong, dried over pinewood fires, gives a smoky, campfire aroma that evokes hearth and home.
-
Keemun Concerto offers wine-like sweetness and a hint of cocoa, balancing the blend’s darker tones.
Together, they create a rich, story-filled flavor - one that feels both ancient and timeless.
Cocoa Nibs, Rose Hips & Vanilla: The Warm Heart
-
Cocoa nibs lend subtle sweetness and boost serotonin, the “feel-good” neurotransmitter.
-
Rose hips provide Vitamin C and promote joint and immune support - a comforting companion after a long day.
-
Vanilla brings emotional warmth and calm, often used in aromatherapy to ease stress and evoke contentment.
Candy Apple & Whiskey Notes: Modern Alchemy
The bourbon-inspired finish - with candy apple undertones - gives The Gilded Flame its distinctive “tavern tale” flavor. It’s both nostalgic and luxurious, offering a non-alcoholic indulgence that satisfies the senses while keeping the body centered.
The Spirit of the Flame: Symbolism & Energy
In the language of alchemy, fire transforms - it burns away exhaustion, illuminates truth, and refines what remains. The Gilded Flame channels this energy, reminding us that rest can be a form of renewal.
Each ingredient carries its own energetic resonance:
-
Black Tea: Strength, grounding, inner resolve.
-
Smoke (Lapsang): Purification, release, and protection.
-
Cocoa: Creativity, comfort, emotional openness.
-
Rose Hips & Vanilla: Heart energy, healing warmth, and sweetness of spirit.
To sip The Gilded Flame is to sit beside your own hearth - where body, mind, and story find peace in the glow.
