All tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. How the leaves of the plant are processed and their level of contact with oxygen determines the type of tea. The more processing the leaves go through, the darker the leaves become, resulting in a distinctive color and taste characteristic. There are four main varietals of tea: black, green, white, and oolong. Tea contains substances called flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidant polyphenols. Antioxidant polyphenols help protect the body's cells from damage due to harmful molecules called free radicals. Regardless of the processing method, black, green, white and oolong teas all contain polyphenols. In fact, tea ranks as high as or higher than many fruits and vegetables in the ORAC score, a score that measures antioxidant potential of plant-based foods. Green tea is a variety of tea that has undergone minimal oxidation during processing, resulting inunique catechins, especially epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). Green tea has half the caffeine of black tea and varies widely in appearance and taste. Our green tea captures the fresh clean air of high mountain tea gardens and defines how green tea should taste. Fresh harvested leaves are skillfully steamed, rolled and pan-fired in a wok for the ultimate cup.
It just smells DELiSH !
This loose tea blend is my number one favorite. I am also a fan of Cherry Marzipan and Lychee but this coconut mango colada is the BEST ! Everyone that tries it says that it takes them away to an island...pretty powerful tea experience! I wish so much that this tea came in a canister! Try it today you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely Dee-Licious
Since I became a consumer of Tea Forte's products -- about six months ago -- I have greatly enjoyed their tea bags of Cherry Marzipan and Lychee Coconut. (I wasn't consuming it for its purported "skin" properties. I was just interested in the flavors which, by the way, are yummy.) I then "graduated" to the loose-leaf form of these two teas. Although they did take a bit more time to prepare and cleanup afterwards, the loose leaf form did taste somewhat more robust. I just finished my third mug of Tea Forte's new loose-leaf green tea, Coconut Mango Colada. It is absolutely dee-liciious! Even better tasting than the two previous teas I mentioned above. I STRONGLY encourage those who like the taste of each of the three "parts" of the name (coconut, mango, and pina colada plus a gentle "hint" of vanilla and lime) to give this tea a try. I'll be back for more! And, to be fair, I am a big fan of all those five flavors so I was an easy "mark" for this tea. :-))

Cocktail Mixology Set
The caffeine level in a cup of tea can vary by tea type, steeping practices and even the particular tea harvest. We use the following designations as guidelines for the caffeine levels of our teas:
Robust, high caffeine teas; 50-100mg
Lower caffeine teas with shorter steeping times; 30-50mg
Tea/herbal blends with less than 30mg
Decaf tea retains a tiny amount of caffeine
Herbal teas are 100% caffeine free
These steeping guidelines produce the best results for our palates. Use them as a guideline, but you may certainly experiment and find the best results for yours.
