The best afternoon tea has enough body and complexity to get you through the afternoon doldrums (and keep you from falling asleep at your desk). We developed this Milk Street Exclusive tea with Smith Teamaker in Portland, Oregon, whose founder, Steven Smith, revolutionized American tea-drinking habits. The multi-layered black tea blend mixes malty Assam and buttery Keemun with pungent juniper, clove and bright bergamot for a complex and unexpectedly refreshing cup.

This sampler pack includes 6 full-size pouches of our Bazar Coffee Sugars
Our Bazar Coffee Sugars are inspired by global coffee traditions and will transform your morning cup. Flavorings range from the earthy, chili-spiked Mexican Mocha that we tasted in the markets of Oaxaca to a Tropical Coconut Cream, Caramel Vanilla reminiscent of Vietnamese sweet, malted coffee and, closer to home, an homage to New Orlean’s most famous cup of coffee, orange-cinnamon scented café Brulot. Our Moroccan Cardamom Spice pairs cardamom with vanilla and a touch of cocoa for a classic paring common in both the Middle East and Scandinavia, and our lighter, brighter Honey-Mint Tea Sugar blend, designed to enhance black tea, blends warm spices with granulated honey and a refreshing mint-lavender finish.

Don’t let the name fool you—our coffee sugars are great as a pantry ingredient as well. At breakfast, we dust them over our morning cereal—hot or cold—as well as toast slathered with melted butter, nut butters or ricotta. Or sprinkle them over yogurt, smoothies and fruit salads, or as an alternative to syrups on pancakes, waffles and French toast. For dessert, we fold them into whipped cream or use them to spice up cakes, cookie bars and other sweet treats. You'll find a dozen uses or more for each coffee sugar; they will add a global twist to your recipes and transform your cooking.

Our Caramel Vanilla Coffee Sugar comes from the Vietnamese tradition, picked up from the French, of using sweetened condensed milk to temper strong coffee. Vietnamese coffee beans are uniquely roasted with a little butter and sugar, giving them a uniquely caramelized flavor that comes through in the cup. Our blend is vanilla forward with a hint of maltiness and rounded creamy sweetness with just a hint of cinnamon. It’s as good in black coffee as it is in strong black British tea or Indian-style chai.

Take Milk Street shopping! Our all-purpose heavy duty 12-ounce Milk Street Tote Bag is made of cotton and features a front pocket and a 22-inch double-stitched shoulder strap. We use it to buy groceries, to head to the beach, for long weekends, and even to haul stuff back and forth to the office.

We developed this husky, pungent seasoning blend based on hawaij, a Yemeni blend primarily composed of cumin, black pepper and cardamom, with salt and a touch of sugar to balance the fragrant spices. The bold flavor is at its best on rich meats, like lamb, beef or salmon. We also dust it over roasted carrots, cauliflower and sweet potatoes or use it to creamy pumpkin or cauliflower soup. Sprinkle over store-bought hummus or add a spoonful to your next batch of baba ghanoush.

Milk Street's seasoned salt is a bold and moderately spicy remix of Madras-style curry powder, enhanced with mustard seeds, clarifying cardamom and warming chili flakes.

Our Milk Street Sesame Macha Salt is sweet and umami-rich to enhance both savory and sweet dishes; the Japanese-inspired mix includes nutty sesame seeds, earthy matcha tea powder and a hint of sugar.

This fragrant, spicy blend is inspired by the tiny, potent cups of coffee we found in the Middle East brewed with ground green cardamom pods. We round out cardamom's sharp spice with a touch of cinnamon, vanilla and a hint of bittersweet cocoa, as they do in Scandinavia. Beyond coffee and tea, sprinkle some on our Pistachio-Cardamom Loaf Cake right before baking for added texture and a flavor boost. This aromatic blend also pairs wonderfully with the flavors of our Orange-Anise Bundt Cake (Ciambella): Swap a few teaspoons in the honey-orange juice glaze, or sprinkle some on immediately after glazing to enhance the crackly, sweet shell.

Our Mexican Mocha Coffee Sugar plays on the Oaxacan tradition of adding cinnamon and chili to freshly ground cacao beans for hot chocolate. In this custom blend, earthy, aromatic cinnamon defines the chocolate’s flavor, coaxing out its fruitiness and tempering the bitterness without excessive sweetness. We use chipotle chili powder for its smoky depth, which pairs well with the spicy cinnamon and adds a subtle touch of heat. Use Mexican Mocha Coffee Sugar in your morning cup of coffee or to ramp up hot cocoa. We love its balanced yet bold flavor on all manner of breakfast foods: Sprinkle it over oatmeal with some sliced bananas and walnuts, or dust a little on pancakes or cinnamon rolls. Our director of digital content, Evan Petto, loves a light dusting of this coffee sugar on hot buttered toast. For desserts, add a spicy element atop brownies, or use the sugar to make a flavored whipped cream. We often sprinkle some Mexican Mocha Coffee Sugar on vanilla ice cream or rice pudding, for a twist on arroz con leche. There are few sweets that can't benefit from this perfect trinity of chocolate, chili and cinnamon.

Evoking the earthy, floral flavors of India's garam masala, this blend combines buttery coconut with spicy ginger and other warming spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and coriander; its creamy caramel finish is great for sweetening black tea and rum-based cocktails. You can also use this blend to make a variation of our Spiced Orange Shortbread—dust over the shortbread before baking instead of the cardamom-sugar mixture.

Don’t let the name fool you—this coffee sugar is great as a pantry ingredient as well. At breakfast, we dust it over our morning cereal—hot or cold—as well as toast slathered with melted butter, nut butters or ricotta. Or sprinkle some over yogurt, smoothies and fruit salads, or as an alternative to syrups on pancakes, waffles and French toast. For dessert, we fold Coconut Cream Coffee Sugar into whipped cream or use it to spice up cakes, cookie bars and other sweet treats.

Familiar yet fresh, our custom granulated honey-sugar blend features a complex mix of warm spices hinting of chai, lightened with a refreshing mint and lavender finish. We love this with black tea, but the floral flavors are also wonderful in our Lemon-Almond Loaf Cake—mix with slivered almonds and sprinkle it on top before baking. Or toss Honey-Mint Tea Sugar with chocolate sprinkles and cashews to coat Brazilian Chocolate Fudge Candies (Brigadeiros).

Café brûlot diabolique, New Orleans' dramatic dessert coffee, requires a practiced hand and steady nerves to prepare. It's made by pouring hot coffee into a flaming mix of brandy, spices and orange peel. We capture the iconic flavors of the French Quarter in our spiced orange-flavored sugar, minus the risk. Our blend has the warmth of cinnamon and allspice and a subtle smoky aroma that works wonderfully in not only coffee but also cocktails, especially Old Fashioneds. We also like to dust this sugar over grapefruit or oranges before giving them a quick broil, which caramelizes the sugar and enhances its smoky-warm quality.
