Merlot Chantelle

Considered one of the noble grapes for winemaking, Merlot is one of the most popular grape varietals in the world. Known for its full body, dark berry and earthy notes, as well as a most malleable nature, Merlot can be a very luscious and smooth wine. Okay, wine education aside, what about the tea?

For this tea, you need a bit of wine education. This lovely tea, with a deep purple hue, has notes of blackberry and summer currants. It’s rich and full bodied, with nice astringency. This is the kind of tea that makes a lazy, chilly late afternoon or an evening with friends just a little bit better, much like the wine it was fashioned after.
