Noble

The people of Thailand know a thing or three about finding balance in life. Why three? That's the number of Noble Disciplines that govern Theravada Buddhism, the religion practiced by 95% of the country's population. In fact, the country is one of the most devoutly Buddhist nations on the planet.

The Three Noble Disciplines encompass Discipline, Training of the Mind, and Wisdom. This philosophy extends even in Thai cuisine, which is all about achieving harmony and balance between five fundamental flavors - spicy, sour, sweet, salty, and, optionally, bitter. Only when all the flavors are in perfect balance can a recipe be considered truly exceptional, or even perfect. We’ve adhered to this philosophy while creating Noble, and the results, if we may dare to declare, are indeed perfect.

The blend starts with Rooibos. Although not inherently salty, it does possess a mellow herbal quality that, like salt, serves as an enhancer and accentuates the flavors of the ensemble. It is followed by ginger to provide its signature fiery spice. Subsequently, tart lemongrass is added to contribute to the sour dimension of the blend. To complete this symphony of flavors, dried pineapple is added to offer its natural sweetness. The resulting blend strikes the right chords, especially if your intention is to immerse yourself in relaxation and tranquility.
