Our Collection of Wonderful Teas

• Tea Etiquette
• Apricot
  
  Infusion immediately produces the bright, sweet aromas of fresh apricots. The natural sweetness of the fruit flavoring makes this one of our best iced teas.
• Black Tea
  
  Black teas (all four varieties) are made from leaves of Camellia sinensis. Black tea is generally stronger in flavor and contains more caffeine than the less oxidized teas. Two principal varieties of the species are used, the small-leaved Chinese variety plant (C. sinensis sinensis), also used for green and white teas, and the large-leaved Assamese plant (C. sinensis assamica), which was traditionally only used for black tea, although in recent years some green has been produced.
• Decaf Blacks
  
  Decaf tea is any tea that has undergone a process which eliminates most of the caffeine content. Two processes are currently used to commercially decaffeinate tea, an ethyl acetate and a CO2 method. While the ethyl acetate method is cheaper and easier, the CO2 method has been proven much safer. All our teas are processed using the CO2 process. Decaf tea is the perfect alternative for tea lovers who are trying to lower their caffeine intake.
• Green Tea
  
  Green tea, made solely with the leaves of Camellia sinensis, has undergone minimal oxidation during processing. Green tea originates in China and has become associated with many cultures in Asia from Japan to the Middle East. Many varieties of green tea have been created in the various countries where it is grown. These varieties can differ substantially due to variable growing conditions, processing and harvesting time.
• Oolong Tea
  
  Oolong is a traditional Chinese tea (Camellia sinensis) ranging from 10% to 70% oxidation, placing it somewhere between green and black in oxidation. In Chinese tea culture, semi-oxidized oolong teas are collectively grouped as qīngchá (literally "blue-green tea"). Oolong has a taste more akin to green tea than to black tea: it lacks the rosy, sweet aroma of black tea but it likewise does not have the stridently grassy vegetal notes that typify green tea.
• Herbal Infusion Tea
  
  Herbal teas can be made with fresh or dried flowers, leaves, seeds or roots, generally by pouring boiling water over the plant parts and letting them steep for a few minutes. The tisane is then strained, sweetened if so desired, and served. Many companies produce herbal tea bags for such infusions. On the other hand, flavoured teas are prepared by adding other plants to an actual tea (black, oolong, green, yellow, or white tea); for example, the popular Earl Grey tea is black tea with bergamot, jasmine tea is Chinese tea with jasmine flowers, and genmaicha is a Japanese green tea with toasted rice.
• Wellness Tea
  
  Wellness Tea consists of infusions made with herbs, flowers, roots, spices or other parts of plants. Since herbal infusions do not contain tea leaves they are generally caffeine free. Some view herbal products as natural remedies for the treatment of varied disorders and illnesses. Self prescribed herbal preparations are widely used for a whole host of common conditions including insomnia, arthritis, colds, coughs, ulcers, allergies, constipation, infections, high blood pressure, intestinal disorders, headaches, fever, anemia, weakness, aging, stress, nervousness and indigestion. Although Wellness Tea technically is not a tea, they make a satisfying cup that is beneficial to your health and well being.
