Simpson & Vail Yellowstone National Park Tea
Yellowstone isn't exactly known for doing anything quietly, and its tea follows suit.
Yellowstone National Park Tea is a colorful black tea blend inspired by both the park's remarkable plant life and the vivid shades of Grand Prismatic Spring.
Sweet, creamy prickly pear is the star, supported by strawberries and a subtle touch of bergamot. Safflower and cornflower petals add bursts of color to the dry tea, echoing the brilliant yellows and blues found around Yellowstone's famous geothermal features.
The bergamot sits underneath the fruit rather than turning this into an Earl Grey-style tea. The result is smooth, fruity, slightly citrusy and decidedly different from an everyday flavored black tea.
Simpson & Vail donates 10% of Yellowstone tea sales to Yellowstone Forever, which supports the park through philanthropy and education.
