Today we are serving up three great teas, an artisan tea from the Black Sea, the exotic green tea in the Moroccan tradition, and a tasty caffeine free herbal blend of chocolate, almond and rum.

Natela’s Gold: Handmade in the peak of the Spring season, Natela brings this treasured tea to you from the Caucasus Mountains in the country Georgia. This black tea has a sweetness with hints of pine and cedar, making it a wonderful tea for afternoon or evening. Enjoy it while supplies last! This tea is similar to the Georgian Beauty tea we also sell, so if you like the Georgian Beauty you’ll also enjoy this one!

Moroccan Mint Green Tea

Moroccan Mint Green Tea: Chinese Gunpowder green tea blended with mint leaves, tastes like you’re in Morocco. Add lots of sugar to drink it like the Moroccans do. Also tastes nice with honey. Check out Jonathan’s travel journal about tea in Morocco!

Wedding Chai: Assam with vanilla, & cardamom. If you like cardamom, you’ll love this creamy, chai blend. The robust Assam tea gives it a bold, full-bodied flavor accented by the smooth cardamom and sweet vanilla flavors.

Fog Tea

Fog Tea: Grown in the mist and fog of the southeastern mountains of China, this organic tea has the richness of a Japanese green tea, yet the more subtle notes of a great Chinese green tea. The fog makes the tea more green with chlorophyll, adding richer notes to this unique tea. A wonderful tea for those tasting green tea for the first time.

Chocolate Ginger Rooibos is sure to please with its slightly spicy ginger taste and rich chocolate notes. Blended with South African Rooibos (Red Bush), it also contains chocolate bits, ginger, and flavoring. This makes a great dessert tea or a fun holiday treat.
