Herbs of Origin – These six single-sourced, one-ingredient premium herbal teas are an expansion of The Republic of Tea’s beloved organic SuperHerb® Teas, which contain “wonder” herbs unique in flavor, functionality and full-body benefits. Many global regions have used these nutritional dynamos as a part of their daily diets for centuries – whether for boosting performance, health or longevity. ($14.50/tin)
South African Green Rooibos – Organic Bush Tea for Well-Being: Rooibos, a unique South African herb, has been cherished since the early 1900s when native Bushmen fermented and sun-dried its needle-like leaves for delicious red tea. Modern methods yield green rooibos tea, unoxidized and gently steamed from fresh harvests. Its smooth, delicate flavor reveals a hint of malt and fresh herbal notes.
Sri Lankan Ginger – Organic Tea to Get Back to Your Roots: This premium, 100% Biodynamic® ginger is grown by a collective of four certified Biodynamic® farms in central Sri Lanka. Committed to sustainable practices and holistic management, their biodiversity is believed to increase the nutritional vitality of the soil and plants. This pure, spicy ginger tea is soothing to the digestive system.
Egyptian Chamomile – Organic Tea for Rest: This organic chamomile is grown on an oasis in the fertile Nile River Basin, south of Cairo, and harvested when its essential oils are at their highest concentration. This tea renders a rich, buttery smooth cup with a floral, sweet flavor.
American Peppermint – Organic Tea for Comfort: This premium peppermint is grown in Washington State by Trout Lake Farm, a leader in the global organic herb industry. The Pacific Northwest is known as one of the world’s most premier growing regions for peppermint. Enjoy this pure tea for its cool aromatics and refreshing flavor.
Vietnamese Cinnamon – Organic Tea for Warming the Heart: Cinnamon, sustainably harvested from inner tree bark, is well known as a fragrant, warming spice. It has also been prized for its medicinal properties for thousands of years due to its antioxidant levels. This premium cassia cinnamon from Vietnam has a sweet, full flavor.
Egyptian Hibiscus – Organic Tea for Ecological Harmony: This premium, 100% Biodynamic® hibiscus is grown on the western banks of the Nile River in Egypt using Biodynamic® practices to enhance the herb’s flavor, nutrition and quality while emphasizing social and economic sustainability. Steep a ruby cup and enjoy notes of citrus and berries.
Cold Brew Hibiscus Iced Teas –The refreshing hibiscus has a vibrant flavor much like juicy cranberries and raspberries and makes a full-bodied base for four natural flavors. Each tin steeps six one-quart pitchers. ($10.00/tin)
Cold Brew Hibiscus Tangerine Yuzu – This blend showcases yuzu, an aromatic Japanese citrus that tastes like a mix of lemon, grapefruit and lime with floral notes.
Cold Brew Hibiscus Sangria Spice - Hibiscus takes the place of red wine in this refreshing iced tea inspired by Spain’s traditional beverage. Notes of orange and lemon combine with cinnamon and ginger for a delicious summer dish pairing.
Cold Brew Hibiscus Pineapple Coconut – This luscious iced tea blend is infused with natural coconut and pineapple flavors for a tropical punch to the taste buds.
Cold Brew Hibiscus Aronia Blackberry – This tea boasts deep, dark aronia berries, which are superfoods containing anthocyanins (a type of antioxidant) that enhances the rich hibiscus flavor for a revitalizing refresher.
