Honey Ponderosa is a hardy black tea blend. We distill that uncanny honey-vanilla-marshmallow aroma you smell in a Rocky Mountain pine forest into your tea cup. Bee pollen adds heft, while the honey aroma invites a slow-blooming sweetness. Delicious and smooth, maintaining that classic black tea kick. Try it chilled, and you might drink it all summer long: robust, but with an extra special something, always inviting another sip.

Ever sniffed a Ponderosa pine? Come in close: this is a hint of Montana wilderness. The Ponderosa Pine, while found all over the West, is the Montana State tree. When you walk through a Ponderosa forest on a hot day, you might smell a vanilla aroma. Scientists theorize that tree sap interacts with the heat, producing that honey, vanilla, and roasted marshmallow smell all rolled into one. We're proud to share one of our favorite flavors from the Big Sky State. Let us know if you think we nailed it.

A made in Montana tea.

Sofia Z. ★★★★★

The bee pollen really does add a lovely heft to the cup, making it feel more like a cozy blanket than a plain tea. I brewed it on a chilly evening and the marshmallow sweetness came through perfectly without needing any sugar.

Edward ★★★★★

The bee pollen really gives it a thicker mouthfeel than most black teas I've tried, and that pine-and-honey aroma carries through to the last sip. I brewed a second pot from the same leaves and it held up beautifully.

Jacob ★★★★★

That first sip genuinely smells like walking through a pine forest in summer—the honey-vanilla-marshmallow note is uncanny, and the bee pollen gives it a nice, full mouthfeel. I've been brewing it every afternoon since it arrived, and it holds up beautifully for a second steep.
