Morgan, as recent biographies remind us, was not just a great financier but a great connoisseur of art and books who cherished peace and quiet-and tea. There was a tea firm which Mr. Morgan passed each day near his offices. Inside he always saw the same taster at work, \"sipping, spitting and looking wise,\" as it's been described. After many years of this nodding acquaintance, he ventured in to ask this professional to appraise his personal blend. He left, the story goes, visibly agitated and exclaiming, \"What do you know about tea-nothing!\" To tease the great man, the taster had solemnly assured him that his favorite blend was the worst tea he'd ever tasted. Mr. Morgan never forgot-but never caught on. Perhaps no one else had ever outwitted him. His blend, which combines Formosa Oolong and certain black teas with a faint smokiness from Lapsang Souchong, was created for Mr. Morgan by Lester Vail of Simpson \u0026amp; Vail, a firm that has been an institution for New York tea lovers for almost a century.

If you are looking for a tea with a bold, strong, mellow, slightly sweet and smoky taste, our Glen Lochey blend is worth trying. The black and olive tinged leaves brew to a deep amber cup and the Lapsang in this tea adds to the earthy, smoky aroma and taste. This is a hearty tea with a nice smoked taste that coats the throat and warms the body on chilly nights. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/b\u003e Black tea, oolong tea and lapsang souchong tea. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8777\/0850\/files\/icons_-_kosherVeg.png?v=1758209440\" alt=\"\" width=\"157\" height=\"75\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simpson \u0026 Vail, Inc","offers":[{"title":"1 Ounce","offer_id":42988092326114,"sku":"T0588     1","price":2.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Ounce","offer_id":42988092391650,"sku":"T0588     4","price":7.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Ounce Tin","offer_id":42988092424418,"sku":"T0588     4TIN","price":11.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 Ounce","offer_id":42988092457186,"sku":"T0588     8","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Pound","offer_id":42988092358882,"sku":"T0588     16","price":30.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8777\/0850\/products\/glenlochey_xl_aa729d96-a6b1-47e6-b067-91d4f39426af.jpg?v=1655216526"},{"product_id":"copy-of-highland-morn-black-blend-tea","title":"Highland Morn' Black Blend Tea","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis tea is an interesting blend made to \"jump-start\" the day!
