Begin your tea tasting journey with us!

Did you know that there are over 3,000 varieties of tea, each with its own specific characteristics? The naming and growing of teas has many similarities to wine. Just as Bordeaux wine is named after the Bordeaux region in France, Assam is named after the Assam region in India, and Keemun is named after the Keemun region in China. Like wine, tea comes from one bush, and where the tea is grown, the climate, soil conditions, and how the tea is processed, determines the flavor characteristics of the tea.

I invite you to tour our expansive tea collection, learn about each tea and its subtle flavors, and the delicate palate it provides.

Much Love & Light,

You are so right! Tea is very much like wine. I mean, I've never had two types of green tea taste identical. Same with black tea. And I've never had two glasses of wine taste the same...I've only sampled a few varieties though, so I don't know much about it. And Pu-erh comes in vintages just like wine does.
I really like your candy bar and peppermint patty teas. I've also tried chocolate cream pie and loved it. I also really love jasmine pearls. But then again, the only tea that I don't like is Pu-erh, so I'm pretty much set as far as tea goes.
I'm really glad that God gave us the tea plant! Or that the tea plant evovled. Or that God used evolution to create the tea plant. LOL, I've gone through all the possiblities for how tea came about.

3000 varieties of tea! That's amazing. There's a Chinese saying that it'll take a lifetime to explore all those teas. And of course no one can do it anymore these days with so many new high-quality teas coming out. --Jason Witt

Jason,

You're right! Sooo many teas, sooo little time, lol. Our most recent blend, our Blueberry Detox Tea, is just one prime example. What's the most recent blend you've tried?
