Saint Clement 2003 Oroppas - Bordeaux Blends Red Wine
The 2003 Oroppas is a Cabernet Sauvignon based wine from a combination of three esteemed appellations: Rutherford, Diamond Mountain, and from within the heart of Napa Valley. To add depth and complexity, the Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with twelve percent Merlot from Carneros and four percent Cabernet Franc from Rutherford. The Merlot adds the lush red fruit component whereas the Cabernet Franc rounds out the structure and tannin of the wine. The wine was aged in eighty-four percent New French oak barrels for nineteen months.
Beautiful aromas of blackberries, cassis, currant, and dark chocolate smothered in a raspberry reduction sauce abound in this wine. The rich velvety texture and soft luscious tannins are supplemented by ripe red and black fruit flavors of strawberry and blueberry. Caramel, coffee, and vanilla flavors are supplied by the French Oak barrels that we use to age this wine. The wine has great fruit extraction of plums, wild berries, and cherry cola which coats the palate from start to finish.

New Organic Breakfast Tea

Mighty Leaf Tea Expands Organic Tea Offerings with New Organic Breakfast



March 2, 2006 (San Rafael, CA) — In response to a growing demand for organic teas, Mighty Leaf Tea Company proudly introduces their new Organic Breakfast blend.


The first of three existing blends transitioning to organic in 2007, Organic Breakfast fulfills the desire for a deep full-bodied black tea that is organic. With an English Breakfast flavor profile, this blend pairs perfectly with milk and honey or sugar. Organic Breakfast now replaces Breakfast Americana in the foodservice boxes, slotted as one of the top five flavors in the Mighty Leaf Tea pouch lineup. The transition to Organic Breakfast in retail boxes will take place July 2007.


According to legend, a 19th century tea master in Edinburgh, Scotland named Drysdale coined the name "Breakfast Tea" as a marketing ploy to sell his blends. The idea spread to England where the popularity of tea drinking soared. Subsequently, tea houses added the term "English" to the name and the classic beverage was born. Organic Breakfast takes teatime to a new level for the consumer practicing an organic way of living.


“Personally living an organic lifestyle, I seek the best ingredients for my own consumption,?? said Gary Shinner, CEO of Mighty Leaf Tea. “Our new Organic Breakfast provides a bold cup of tea anytime of the day, rich and flavorful.”


Other blends to transition to organic later in 2007 are the popular Mountain Spring Jasmine, a Chinese green tea scented with Arabian jasmine blossoms, and Darjeeling Choice Estate, an Indian varietal with delicate muscatel notes, an aromatic nose and a sweet lingering finish.


####


Mighty Leaf Tea truly created the artisan-crafted blended tea category as it exists today.


The company was formed in 1996 when Gary Shinner and Jill Portman founded the couple’s teahouse on Fillmore Street in San Francisco, and their quest to create the most incredible handcrafted whole-leaf tea blends from the finest, globally sourced ingredients led them to become the foremost tea company in the U.S. today. The company created the signature hand-stitched, translucent mesh Tea Pouch — since emulated throughout the industry — as the most effective way of delivering precision-portioned servings of its multi-dimensional whole-leaf tea blends filed with chunks of fruit, spices and flavors too big for ordinary tea bags. In 2005, Mighty Leaf became the first tea company to make its entire line of mesh Tea Pouches from biodegradable material, for which they won an award in 2006.
