Village Gold is a flavored black tea blend combining a smooth black tea base with natural fruit flavors — notably peach, passionfruit, orange, and elderberry. The name reflects Contour Coffee‘s house style: familiar, welcoming, and well-rounded. Flavored black teas of this type use a quality black tea base — typically a mellow Assam or Ceylon — as the structural foundation, with fruit and floral aromatics applied at the blending stage to create a cup that is sweet-smelling, approachable, and distinctive.
The combination of peach and passionfruit gives Village Gold its tropical-sweet character, while orange provides citrus brightness and elderberry adds a subtle berry depth. The result is an aromatic tea that works hot or cold.
In the cup, Village Gold brews a warm amber with a pronounced fruity aroma. The body is medium and smooth, the finish sweet and clean. It drinks well without additions and makes an excellent iced tea.
Use 2 grams per 8-ounce cup.
