Herbal Teas. Beyond Camellia Sinensis.

Herbal Teas entail everything one can possibly steep or infuse in hot water that did not originate from the tea bush, Camellia Sinensis. Of course this means that Herbals are, by definition, not tea; rather the more precise word for herbals is "tisane." This is an interesting fact, but we try not to be too stuffy about it. Many people are simply more familiar with the term "herbal tea" than with "tisane," so herbal tea suits us just fine.

Herbals include herbs, flowers, berries, spices, roots, fruits and any other sort of flora.  Long used for medicinal qualities, most of the ingredients in our herbal teas have been consumed for centuries or millennia. Herbals include classic remedies like nausea-reducing ginger and sleep-inducing chamomile, as well as more exotic flavors like rooibos: a South African staple that produces a deep red and deliciously floral elixir that is at least as antioxidant-rich as any tea, yet naturally caffeine-free.

Our herbals are blended with lavishly delicious flavors, from famously soothing mints to exotic ingredients like cacao, fennel, anise, cardamom and lemongrass to succulent, juicy fruits like raspberry, orange, apple and even tart but deliciously sweet pomegranate.

All wonderfully unique. And all, by the way, naturally caffeine-free and suited for anyone, at any time of day. In short, herbal teas open up a whole new vista in the palate of possibilities.
