Birdsong Black

Birdsong Black is our go-to black tea: strong enough for mornings, and nuanced to keep you wanting more. Aromatic, resounding with raisin and chocolate notes, and a malty, rounded finish. Equally delicious hot or iced! We use it in our tea bar's Lake Missoula House Chai and Arnold Palmer—which means Birdsong Black wins many admirers over the years.

Direct-sourced from Bitaco, Colombia's only tea farm. Volcanic-rich soils of the high Andes make up a terroir unlike any in the world. Bitaco's mission includes supporting an ecosystem that hosts large populations of song birds. University students visit this farm to study biodiversity in action.

The farm sits adjacent to a forest reserve, providing a corridor for mountain flora and fauna. Bitaco painstakingly safeguards the mountain spring water that feeds into the Bitaco River, a vital resource for the downstream communities. Farm proceeds benefit a local endowment that supports local education and infrastructure. Learn how Bitaco's progressive practices contribute to long term social and environmental needs in its community.

Birdsong is an ideal black tea for your daily cup. Colombia might mean coffee to most people, but once you've tasted this tea, it will change your mind.
