Enjoy our premium Teas and artfully blended Teas & Tisanes. Our Tisanes, as well as the herbs & spices for our Tea blends, are all tea cut by us on our custom-built mill, providing the freshest, richest flavors possible. Like our spices, we only use the highest quality ingredients- never fannings.  Because of this, we provide our tea loose-leaf rather than in tea bags, allowing each cup to steep slightly differently rather than compromising on quality.

 

Black Teas are the fully oxidized leaves of the camellia sinensis, containing the highest amount of caffeine. Green Teas are the non-oxidized leaves of the camellia sinensis, containing a lower amount of caffeine than Black Teas. Tisanes are herbal tea blends that do not contain camellia sinensis, allowing them to be completely caffeine-free.

 

Our teas and tisanes are available in tins or refill bags.  Each contain approximately 1 1/8 cup of loose-leaf tea or tisane, which corresponds to approximately 54 teaspoons.
