Tea Forté Rare Teas are special edition, handcrafted teas that we are able to aquire only in limited quantities. With our main line, Tea Forté offers both classic and innovative blends with bold flavor profiles. We strive to have the most flavor, the freshest taste and consistency from season to season. However, with our small batch Rare Tea line, we have an opportunity to extend your tea journey. These teas showcase the delicate and subtle overtones that make fine tea as complex as fine wine. We hope that you enjoy them. While the weights vary, each canister contains approximately 20 servings.
