Benefits Of Tea Benefits Of Herbs Our Tea Blends

Black TeaOpen or Close Black tea is the most intensively processed type of tea. The leaves are allowed to fully oxidize, creating their black color before they are dried, giving black tea more complexity, more astringency and fewer vegetal overtones than are typically found in other teas. Astringency is the “dry mouth” sensation left by tannins in tea, familiar to drinkers of a cabernet sauvignon, or other wine. It is this astringency that pairs so nicely with dairy and sweetener. Achieving the right balance of astringency is one of the leading indicators of quality in a black tea.   Featured Blend Coconut Chocolate Truffle This delectable and decadent organic black tea begins with the smooth and seductive taste of chocolate cacao nibs and creamy island coconut.

While all tea is antioxidant-rich, some speculate that the minimal processing undergone by green tea allows more antioxidants to reach your final cup. Without oxidation, green teas must be steeped more carefully, as they can become bitter if steeped too long or at too hot of a temperature. Never steep green tea with boiling water; near boiling or even cooler will produce much better results.   Featured Blend Lemon Sorbetti Based on Italy’s most celebrated sorbet, this green tea is married with fragrantly fresh citrus and the sweetness of wildflower honey.

Oolong tea is partially oxidized to lie somewhere between black and green. While the look is more along the lines of black teas, the taste is closer to the green teas but with a touch more oomph and a rounded mouthfeel. Oolongs are commonly produced in the Fujian province of China and on the island of Taiwan, formerly called Formosa, from which one of the more famouse oolong teas is named.   Featured Blend Silk Oolong A unique mountain climate gives this rare tea its astonishing character.

Rooibos is not a true tea, but a herb. The brew made from the dried Rooibos leaves is therefore a herbal infusion (known as tisane) rather than a tea, but is widely known as Rooibos tea. Rooibos has a distinctive color, flavour and aroma, which differentiates it from most other teas.   Our Rooibos Teas       African Solstice   Apricot Amaretto   Harvest Apple Spice   Kiwi Lime Ginger A rooibos herb blend of sweet berries and blossoms   A double delight of apricot and peach with notes of almond   Crisp taste of ripe red apples and spices   Fresh citrus complemented by the taste of ginger         Mojito Marmalade   Peach Jubilee   Swiss Apple   Winter Chai Lush citrus with spearmint and high-mountain rooibos   Sweet & spicy peachy notes blended with rich rooibos   Fresh apples, Alpine chocolate and a tingle of cinnamon   Chai spices in a seasonal rooibos herbal tea White TeaOpen or Close While white teas are “less processed” than greens, they are usually somewhat more oxidized. Mild oxidation occurs during the “wilting” stage, when white tea is air-dried after it is first picked. White tea is then backed and dried further, and it may be very lightly rolled, but little is done to change what is picked from the plant. One way to tell that white tea is slightly oxidized is that white teas don’t usually need to be steeped as carefully as greens. Steeping white tea with boiling water or for longer time periods can still produce good results.   Featured Blend White Cinnamon Sage This refined organic rare white tea is heightened with the zing of cassia cinnamon and an undertone of wispy sage. Balanced with roasted taste of South African Cape honeybush for an exceptionally crafted cup.
