The lively trading port of Canton was the outlet for the extraordinary Chinese porcelains avidly sought by westerners who had not yet discovered the clay or the skills to reproduce them. Precious spices like cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and others were rare commodities traded along the caravan routes from China to Byzantium, influencing the world's cuisines as they became available. Tea first became known in Holland and then England in the 17th century. These valuable wares were eagerly embraced by cultures around the globe. It was an age of world discovery. Our Canton Spice tea evokes this romantic world of new cargos, new tastes, and new delights. Let us create for you the wonder of the discovery of tea and rare spices. Full of romance and discovery, this unique lemon blend contains spices traded along the early caravan routes from China to Byzantium. Cinnamon, Cloves, Star Anise, Ginger. Flavored Black tea. Contains Caffeine. 20 Ct. tea bags in our ribbon bag. 1.4 oz. (40g.)

      I got Canton Spice in the Maryland Sampler and really enjoyed it. I wouldn't guess that it has lemon in it. It's all rich, delicious spice to me.

      An interesting blend of teas for days when you just want the rich flavor of tea instead of a candy-like or fruit-like tea. Delicious and savory.

      This is good hot or cold. I generally enjoy the blends from this company.

      Much spicer and more intense than their Indian chai. If you had to choose between the two, I'd take this one.

      This has a lot of heavy spice flavor and is like a chai if you want something more intense
