White tea
Once reserved only for Chinese emperors to enjoy, its delicate flavour, derived from fresh, young silver tea buds is mythic. White tea is the most subtle of all tea types, using only the finest leaves from each tea bush with minimal amount of processing. It contains the highest amount of antioxidants and shares many chemical compounds with green tea.
Green tea
Is there anything green tea can’t do?
First of all it’s delicious and a rich source of antioxidants and other beneficial compounds too.
The flavours of green tea can vary from sweet and delicate to oceanic to slightly smoky.
Black tea
Black tea isn't just tasty. It provides enough energy to build empires, stay out late, wake up early or just get through the day. Varieties include English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Darjeeling and other gourmet teas. Enjoy a variety of delicious flavours, ranging from brisk to malty to spicy to nutty, as well as the many health benefits associated with regularly drinking black tea.
Oolong tea
It’s as fun to drink as it is to say. Its Chinese name means black dragon tea. But make no mistake, oolong is not a black tea. Nor is it green. It’s somewhere in between. Oolong teas are full bodied in flavor and aroma, ranging from green and floral to dark and roasted with many notes between.
Herbal blends
Varieties include Chamomile, Peppermint and many other exciting flavors. Herbal teas have been consumed nearly as long as written history extends. The wide array of aromas and tastes delight the senses, while their healing properties have been lauded by traditional medicine for centuries.
Rooibos tea
Made from a South Africa plant, red bush tea is antioxidant-filled, caffeine-free and produces a sweet, flavourful cup. Rooibos is also known for its high mineral content and blends oh-so-well with many flavours.
