Bishop House Debuts New Tea Line
Portland, Oregon-based Bishop House introduced its own tea line earlier this month. The company has established itself as a glass teaware purveyor and now offers high-end teas to match. The introduction of the new tea line follows on the heels of its first line of elevated teaware of handblown borosilicate glass, cantilevered stainless steel and gold or silver. Both the teaware and the tea collection are great holiday gift options. Bishop House collaborated with a tea blender in Portland to create the new tea collection of three blends.- 4 is a South Indian Black tea originating from the Seethargundu Estate, which resides in the foothills of Southern India’s Nilgiri Mountains in the state of Kerala. Bishop House describes its flavor as light-bodied tea with a clean, fruity finish. A 4-ounce pouch retails at $10 dollars.
- 5 is a Chinese Green Tea made from Jasmine Pearls, which are young green tea leaves (usually from Fujian Province) that have been hand-rolled. Its flavor is described as fresh, floral and rich. A 4-ounce pouch retails for $22 dollars.
- 6 is a caffeine-free Lemon Hibiscus Herbal Tea, consisting of hibiscus and tart fruit. Bishop House describes its flavor as refreshing and light-bodied. A 4-ounce pouch retails at $10 dollars.
