How does he stay so young? This blend is as dark and indulgent as the Oscar Wilde character after whom it is named. You will find this tea a complex and full-bodied blend, excellent for multiple steepings! A little wicked Victorian hedonism for the horror literature fan.
Ingredients: Pu-er black tea, green tea, ginger root, blue cornflower
Approximately 65mg of caffeine per cup
Steep at 212° F or 100°C for 3-5 minutes.

From the “Oh, I Forgot I Had That!” files.
Somehow I missed having to read “The Picture of Dorian Gray” in any of my high school or college literature classes. However, Victorian London is my happy literary place, and the puerh/green tea combo does capture the dank backstreets or the East End docks. It’s a very savory profile, even with the ginger and cornflower, but not an unpleasant one. No bergamot—the Gray reference is strictly Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde.
I feel shame at never having heard his full name. As an English major, no less. SHAAAAAME.
I probably wouldn’t have, either, except the protagonist in a series I like (“An Irish Country Doctor” followed by “An Irish Country” everything imaginable) is named after Wilde.
Oh, I remember reading it and had mixed feelings about it. But for high school leaving exam it was one of the good books I chose.
I can count one hand the assigned books I truly relished (mind you, this was, um, a while back): The Hobbit, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Flowers for Algernon are the ones I remember reading cheerfully and voluntarily. Maybe Great Expectations.
Flowers for Algernon! I need to re-read that once!
