Tasting Notes: mango, honeysuckle, bold green tea

Description: Created in celebration of Jane Austen’s 250th birthday year, this commemorative tea pays tribute to one of the most enduring voices in English literature. This tea is part of our literary collection of Jane Austen teas blended in honor of her works.

Pemberley Green is a bold and expressive green tea inspired by Pride and Prejudice and the turning point at Pemberley Estate. This blend features classic gunpowder green tea with its earthy depth, trace smokiness, and vegetal green notes, gently rounded by soft floral tones of honeysuckle and the lush sweetness of mango. The result is a tea that unfurls with contrasting flavor in each sip, where juicy fruit and fragrant blooms rise through the strength of the bold green tea base.

This tea reflects the emotional arc of the novel. The tension between boldness and softness mirrors the dynamic between Elizabeth and Darcy. It is a blend of clarity and complexity, where sharpness meets softness and contrast slowly transforms into connection. Bitterness gives way to sweetness. Dark and light begin to mingle. Pemberley Green captures that unfolding and mirrors the slow realization of what lies beneath pride and appearances.

Tea was central to Austen’s daily life and her novels. Afternoon tea in the drawing room was a familiar scene throughout her writing. It is where characters gather, observe, flirt, and reveal.

In Austen’s world, tea was part of the rhythm of daily life. It was a ritual for reflection, conversation, and wit. This tea honors that legacy.

“Till this moment I never knew myself.”
— Elizabeth Bennet
