Tea Menu

All of our tea is loose! Sure it is easy to drink but loose refers to the fact that it is not in prepackaged tea bags, like you would get from a grocery store. We have found a great suppler who blends his own flavors of tea. In March of this year he spent a month in Indonesia studying the tea that will be available and learning more about tea in general. For our specialty tea parties he will give us suggestions on which tea to serve with our courses of food. We use a variety of infusers and bags to brew the tea. You can purchase the tea by the cup, pot, or in 4oz bags. We also sell the infusers and tea bags. Stop by to experience how great tea can be!

Black Tea

Black tea comes from the same tea bush as green and oolong tea, but is allowed to oxidize 100 percent, producing a dark brew, higher in caffeine than other teas, but with only half the caffeine of coffee.

Ceylon Hills Black Tea : This Ceylon Hills is grown in the mountains of south central Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon). This quality Ceylon black tea is smooth, with a slightly sweet flavor reminiscent of honey (perhaps it should be called "honey tea"). Great with or without milk.

Darjeeling Blend Black Tea: Darjeeling is a village and district in the foothills of the Himalayas in northern India. The British developed India’s earliest tea plantations in the Darjeeling area, planting a unique hybrid tea bush of Chinese and Indian varieties. Various teas from Darjeeling have been blended to produce this fragrant tea. A classic Darjeeling flavor.

Irish Breakfast Blend: A hearty, yet soothing blend of Assam (India) and China black tea. A strong cup to start the day that's good with milk.

Decaf English Breakfast: CO2 decaffeinated Ceylon tea. Mild flavor without the caffeine.

Flavored Black Tea

Masala Chai: Rich Assam black tea blended with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and a dash of vanilla. Ginger is the predominant spice.

Earl Grey Royal: For Earl Grey devotees: full flavor and an intense Bergamot scent.

Rose Congou Black Tea: Rose Congou Black Tea is blended using smooth tasting black China tea scented lightly with rose petals. This is a true flavored tea classic that evokes tradition.

Vanilla Black Tea: Sometimes called "Sunday Blend," this black tea is scented with fragrant Bourbon vanilla.

Raspberry Black: A quality black tea with raspberry pieces and leaves. A black tea with a slight raspberry flavor and a strong raspberry aroma. Great Iced!

Lemon Black Tea: Citrus accented black tea enhanced with scents of lemon and slivers of citrus peel.

Mango Black Tea: Tropical mango flavored black tea. With mango bits and sunflower petals for extra beauty.

Tropical Black Tea: Mango & passionfruit are the predominant flavors in this naturally sweet black tea.

Rooibos Tea

From South Africa comes this tea-like infusion without the caffeine but loaded with good flavor and healthful benefits. Smooth, slightly nutty, and never bitter, rooibos (pronounced "roy-boss") is delicious hot or iced (keeps in the fridge for 2 weeks). The needle-like leaves are oxidized (fermented) to become a reddish color, leading to the Dutch name "rooibos" or Red Bush. Rooibos is low in tannins, is caffeine-free, and has natural fluoride.

Rooibos Vanilla: Our Rooibos Vanilla is caffeine-free, but medium bodied like tea. South Africa's rooibos is nice hot or chilled.

Rooibos Caramel: Smooth rooibos flavored with sugary caramel. Add a little sugar for extra caramel flavor.

Green Tea

Healthy tea, that's what green tea is. In a nutshell, green tea is un-oxidized, or "not fermented" tea. Consequently, it retains a vegetative freshness, is low in caffeine, and loaded with good things. Green tea health benefits include: boost to immune system, high in cancer fighting anti-oxidants, high in vitamin C and it can help to lower cholesterol.

Lemon Green Tea: Green Sencha tea flavored with lemongrass and lemon.

Japanese Cherry Green Tea: Japanese steamed Sencha flavored with the wonderful essence of Japanese cherry

Organic Peach White Tea: Refreshing peach scented white tea. Made of China white "peony" tea and flavored with refreshing peach fragrance (also suggestions of citrus). This is a high quality organic white tea with a wonderful flavor and fragrance.

Herbal & Fruit Teas

Peppermint Spa Tea: Cool peppermint, soothing licorice root, and a dash of "sweet leaf" stevia are combined to produce this relaxing peppermint tea. Just like being at a spa! Completely natural with no added flavorings.

Organic Fruit Blend Tea: The fragrance of vanilla is a highlight in this blend of dried elderberries, hibiscus, rose-hip peels and apple bits. Nice hot or iced.
