SELECTION OF IMPORTED TEAS

The most popular beverage in the world, tea, is made from the tea bush, Camellia sinensis. The four basic types of true tea are (in order from most to least processed): black tea, oolong tea, green tea and white tea.

"Herbal tea" usually refers to infusions of fruit or of herbs (such as rosehip, mint, and chamomile.)

All are equally enjoyable according to your personal taste. We hope you will spend a pleasurable part of your afternoon with us, savoring our outstanding tea selection.
HERBAL INFUSED TEAS

Egyptian Chamomile
Made from the finest chamomile flower heads, producing a tisane with definite body. This chamomile has an unusually strong, fresh scent reminiscent of green apples.

Peppermint
From Oregon comes a marvelous, brisk peppermint. The peppermint leaves from this area produce an aromatic and crisp-tasting tisane.

French Verveine

Also known as Lemon Verbena, imported from France is the best Verveine which has a wonderful and captivating fragrance. The big green leaves produce an unusually full-bodied herbal brew with wonderful lemon-yellow color and aroma.
FRUIT INFUSED TEAS

Passion Fruit
Blend of rosehips, hibiscus, dried oranges, and other fruit pieces with orange and tropical passion fruit flavors. This combination produces a brilliant ruby red brew loaded with great flavor and no caffeine. Rich and flavorful, it's delicious and vibrant hot or iced!

Spiced Plum
Spiced Plum is an herbal infusion with the delightful essence of cinnamon and plums. Heartier than most herbals, this one has a presence that will surprise you.
OOLONG TEAS

Formosa Oolong
The word oolong means "black dragon" in Chinese. Oolong has a taste more akin to green tea than to black tea: it lacks the rosy, sweet aroma of black tea but it does not have the stridently grassy vegetal notes that typify green tea.

Irish Breakfast
This has some of the malty aromas found in other Assams. However, since it is a smaller tea and there are no tips, the aromas seem to be muted. This is usually served with milk and sugar, so the flavors harmonize well with them. There are subtle notes of roast malt.

Lapsang Souchong
A Chinese black with a heady mixture of pine and hardwood smoke, fruit, and spice.

Darjeeling
A good mixture of the bright aromas of pineapple & grapefruit and the darker stone fruit notes of later season teas.
BLACK TEAS

Earl Grey
In the later decades of the British Empire, citrus flavors became synonymous with Earl Grey Tea. This tea is true to that heritage. The lemony aroma of bergamot from Italy comes through clearly. The notes are not quite as strong as in the Supreme or Imperial versions. It can be enjoyed on its own or with milk and sugar.

Earl Grey Supreme
Lovely citrus aromas predominate with a higher amount of bergamot in this special tea. The lemony flavors are perfectly balanced with the delicious tea base. In comparison to other Earl Greys, there is a nice natural sweetness from all the tippy teas.

Decaffeinated Earl Grey
The lemony aroma of bergamot from Italy comes through clearly. In this version, the notes are not quite as strong as the caffeinated version. Since it is a decaffeinated tea, the flavors are not quite as robust as other Earl Greys.

English Breakfast
Black-100% Keemun with short charcoal gray leaves. The flavors are straightforward with hints of toast and honey. Delicious with milk and sugar.
GREEN TEAS

Japanese Sencha
Very approachable green tea with pleasant spinach notes, with slight roast flavors that are similar to toasted bread.

Tropical Green
Hand-blended green teas with marvelously sweet and aromatic tropical flavors, especially pineapple.

Jasmine
Made from Pouchong tea that is slightly browner than green tea. Fresh jasmine flowers are added to produce a delicate and fragrant brew.

Citron Green
The citrus flavors blend quite nicely with the slightly lemony flavors found in the steamed Chinese green tea. The delicate flavors provide a gentle introduction to the world of green tea.
FLAVORED BLACK TEAS

Black Currant
This full-bodied black tea has a fruity, berry flavor. The currant in this tea gives it a wonderful fruity flavor.

Orange Pekoe
The flavors are full with this tea: the honey from the Indian tea (Assam) and the citrus notes from the broken Ceylon. Many people like to temper this tea with milk and sugar.

Hot Cinnamon Spice
Made from Pouchong tea that is slightly browner than green tea. Fresh jasmine flowers are added to produce a delicate and fragrant brew. This tea is one of our most flavorful, combining orange with natural cinnamon and natural artificial cinnamon flavors and cloves. This tea has a very strong aroma of spices and citrus.

Chinese Lychee
Lychee is a wonderful tea in the summer or perhaps as a reminder of summer. It can be drunk hot, but the flavors are even more distinct when cold. This black tea with a heavy fruity flavor served over ice is a delight.

Peaches and Ginger
An intriguing combination, the flavors and peach and ginger complement each other. This tea is fairly sweet and fruity. A wonderful combination of sweet fruity scents and ginger.
