BLACK TEA

WHITE TEA

​

Of all the types of tea, white teas are the least processed. They are characterized by delicate flavours, a smooth mouth feel, and a subtly fruity, sweet finish. White teas are rich in antioxidants, may reduce risk of Heart Disease, and may help combat skin aging.

HERBAL TEA

​

ROOIBOS TEA

​

With its deeply smooth and rich body, honey-like sweetness and subtle fruity finish, rooibos, a plant indigenous to Western Cape of South Africa, is a wonderful, caffeine-free option with an incredible aromatic benefit. Rooibos is also rich with antioxidants, may promote good heart health and has been known to keep cholesterol levels in check.

​

OOLONG TEA

​

Oolong tea production is the most skilled labour intensive, artisanal and sophisticated manner of tea making. A semi-oxidized tea, leaves are picked, rolled and allowed to oxidize which produces floral notes that characterize many Oolongs. Oolongs have been known to promote weight management, increased metabolism, healthy skin and reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes.

​

CASCARA TEA

​

Cascara means “husk”, “peel”, or “skin” in Spanish. They are the dried skins of coffee cherries (aka coffee beans). These pulped seeds are collected after the seeds have been removed from the cherries. Cascara is found somewhere at the intersection of coffee and tea – however, the drink does not taste anything like coffee. Cascara aids the digestive system and helps reduce constipation through its cleansing properties.
