Botanical Baroness continues that legacy with a collection of custom-blended loose teas, artfully crafted for passionate tea aficionados with discerning palates. Each blend draws inspiration from nature and from Tracy’s historic 700-year-old Royal Villa on Monte Tezio in Italy—surrounded by olive groves, rose gardens, lavender fields, and fruit orchards. These teas marry subtle, ephemeral botanical notes with Tracy’s signature design sensibility to create blends meant to savor, enjoy, and share.
