It's not just tea; it's the secret ingredient that turns your ordinary evenings into extraordinary memories because here at Piper and Leaf, we're all about crafting joy in a cup.
Classic Beginnings
Let's take a trip down memory lane to the summer of 2013, where it all started. From the very start, Front Porch Special has been the heartbeat of our tea-loving family, basically an honorary member at this point! We had another contender for our Classic blend, a bit of a crowd-pleaser, but deep down, we felt it was missing the classic tea pizzazz. So, we decided to get a little whimsical, and into the mix went Earl Grey, spearmint, and a dash of jasmine – and just like that, pure joy in a teacup!
Now, what's the secret behind its irresistible charm? Well, besides being the rockstar of our blends (outselling everything twice over!), it's the dream team combo of local spearmint, classic Earl Grey with a dash of bergamot, and delicate floral notes from jasmine. Picture this: Assam waltzing in with its rich, malty depth, Ceylon joining the party with a burst of refreshing clarity, and the grand finale? Spearmint steps onto the stage, adding that invigorating crispness that ties the entire blend into a delightful symphony of flavors. Front Porch Special is a celebration in a cup, and everyone's invited!
Our go-to way to revel in Front Porch Special is sweet and over ice, but here's a delightful secret – try it hot! The jasmine takes center stage, the spearmint gets a touch earthy, and a hint of sweetness and milk? Pure enchantment. Whether you prefer it steaming hot or over a cascade of ice cubes, it's a cup overflowing with sheer happiness.
Health Benefits
Front Porch Special isn't just a tasty treat—it's a sip of goodness for your heart, soul, and body. The delightful combination of mint and jasmine isn't just about flavor; it's a wellness infusion.
