Banting & Best Blend, Tin of 20

A Tribute to Generosity and History

History is often marked by moments of profound generosity, and this unique tea blend is curated to honor one such moment. Over a century ago, two Canadian scientists, Frederic Banting and Charles Best, made a discovery that changed the world. In a display of altruism rarely seen, they sold the patent for their life-saving discovery for a mere $1, declaring it a "gift to the world". The Banting & Best Blend is crafted to commemorate this legacy. It is more than a beverage; it is a warm, aromatic salute to the spirit of giving. 50% of the proceeds from this tea are donated to T1International, an organization dedicated to supporting communities worldwide.

The Flavor: Hot Apple Spice

While the story provides the soul of this product, the flavor provides the comfort. This blend is a sophisticated "Hot Apple Spice Flavored Black Tea". It captures the nostalgic essence of a baked apple pie or warm cider, grounded by a robust black tea base. The aroma is instantly inviting, filled with notes of cinnamon, orchard fruits, and autumn spices. It is designed to be "naturally flavored" to taste sweet, yet it contains "no sweetener". This makes it an exceptional choice for those who crave the sensation of a dessert tea but wish to avoid added sugars.

Why This Blend is Special

This tea stands out in our collection for its unique combination of culinary excellence and historical significance.

• Sweetness Without Sugar: Masterfully blended to trick the palate with natural sweetness, making it a guilt-free indulgence.

• Historical Packaging: The vintage blue tin features a photograph of Banting and Best with a dog, serving as a collector's item and conversation piece.

• Charitable Impact: Your purchase has power. Half of the proceeds go directly to T1International to support access to essential resources globally.

• Convenience: Each tin contains 20 silken sachets, pre-measured to brew a perfect 12 oz cup.

The Perfect Autumnal Brew

The warming characteristics of cinnamon and apple make this the ultimate cold-weather companion. However, its crisp finish allows it to be enjoyed year-round. When brewed, the liquor is a deep amber, releasing steam that perfumes the air with spice. It requires no milk or sugar to be enjoyed, though a splash of oat milk can transform it into a creamy "apple pie" latte. It is a comforting ritual for quiet mornings or a soothing nightcap that satisfies sweet cravings without the sugar rush.

Preserving the Legacy

The story of Banting and Best is one of "The Insulin Story," a narrative of scientific breakthrough and selfless contribution. By choosing this blend, the memory of their contribution is kept alive. The tin itself is designed to be kept long after the tea is gone. It serves as a reminder that kindness and scientific progress can go hand in hand. We encourage you to reuse the tin for storage or recycle it responsibly to continue the cycle of care for our world.
