Almond Tea is a flavored black tea combining the nutty warmth of almond flavoring with a smooth black tea base — a dessert-like profile with roots in the European tradition of nut-flavored teas and tisanes. Almond notes complement black tea’s natural malt and biscuit character exceptionally well, creating a cup that is warming, subtly sweet, and deeply satisfying without added sugar.

In quality loose-leaf versions, almond flavoring is derived from bitter almond extract or natural almond oil, delivering genuine nuttiness rather than a synthetic approximation. The black tea base provides structure and caffeine while the almond rounds the edges.

In the cup, Almond Tea brews a warm amber with a pleasant nutty-sweet aroma. The body is medium and smooth, the finish clean and mildly sweet. It works well with or without milk, and a small amount of honey is a natural companion.

Use 2 grams per 8-ounce cup.

Outstanding Flavored Black. I served this at a brunch and three people asked where to buy it. The dessert-like and sweet are elegant and well-balanced. Contour Coffee knows their tea.

Really nice Almond Tea. The smooth flavor is authentic and well-balanced. I usually drink Harney & Sons tea but this compares favorably. Will definitely reorder.

Best Flavored Black I've purchased online. Fresh leaves, proper storage, and the flavor is incredible. The dessert-like comes through beautifully. Even better than what I was buying at Harney & Sons.

Five stars without hesitation. I brew this using a Kyusu pot and the smooth notes fill the kitchen. My afternoon ritual. I've been coming to the Alameda store for tea for over 15 years.

Discovered this at the Lakewood store and I've been ordering it shipped to California ever since. The Almond Tea is consistently excellent. Beautiful almond aroma when you open the bag.

Really nice Almond Tea. The almond flavor is authentic and well-balanced. I usually drink Teavana tea but this compares favorably. Will definitely reorder.
