What we got was a terrific tea that is unbelievably delicious and enjoyed Hot or Cold! This tea has a very exotic flavor profile. The delicious blend of orange and pineapple flavors combined with the natural flavors and tartness of the various dried fruits create a summertime cooler or a winter time summer reminder. On the west coast of Canada in the province of British Columbia, there is a small Haida village at the end of a long fiord called Bella Coola. The water is crystal clear, the mountains rise to the sky from the waters edge, fishing boats head west towards the Pacific Ocean and bald eagles soar overhead screaming at those that dare to disrupt the tranquility. One bright cloudless day sitting at the town wharf contemplating life looking at the beauty and eating an orange popsicle I realized that this was probably the most tasty popsicle I had ever had in my life. The taste of Bella Coola is exactly like that popsicle – the best herbal tea you will ever taste! For a summer time drink Bella Coola iced is hard to beat. It is refreshing and thirst quenching and not overly sweet. For formal times garnish the glass with a strawberry and a sprig of mint – for non formal times pour it into your glass and enjoy it gulp after gulp! If you have small children use the Bella Coola tea to make popsicles – they taste great and contain very little sugar. By virtue of the fact that these blends do not contain any tea and are a special blend of fruits and herbs – they are caffeine free!. An additional benefit is that these teas contain Vitamin C which is beneficial for use in brain injury care. What could be better – a healthy drink that tastes GREAT!

In the Ukraine, cherries are added as a filling to almond pastry, a Ukrainian favorite, and then baked to make cherry almond pastries. In the more northerly Scandinavian countries, almonds and cherries make up one of the most popular varieties of muesli, which is often eaten as a breakfast cereal or baked into a delicious and hearty bread. In Germany, cherry almond cheesecake has long been a favorite. This blended tea based on our high grown Ceylon, and true to its European roots, is a real treat. The flavor profile of freshly plucked cherries adds a pleasant sweetness to the nutty character of almond and the astringency of the tea. This is one of our favorite dessert teas. Brew a pot, pour a cup, and remember the old country! 1oz – $2.754oz – $7.50 Crime of Passion Green Tea Memories of the Copacabana Beach in Rio. Papaya pieces, sunflower petals and criminally exotic passion fruit notes infuse superior green tea. The blend has as its base a Sencha style green tea manufactured in Hunan Province in South Eastern China. Interestingly, green and black teas can be produced from the same plants. Green tea is produced by forgoing the fermentation process required to produce black tea. Instead, the leaves are steamed as soon as they are plucked, and then bruised either by machine or by hand. The leaves are then pan-fried or basket fired – a process that gives the tea its distinctive glossy look and feel. Sencha green teas typically have dark green, needle shaped leaves and produce a pale green to yellow, very bright, smooth cup with a sweetish, honey like finish. The natural sweetness of this green tea makes it perfectly suited for blending with our dried Papaya pieces and natural passion fruit flavorings. Brew a pot today and be transported to the sultry Copacabana. Incidentally, this is one tea that can’t be beat over ice! 1oz – $3.754oz – $8.00 1oz – $3.75 Earl Gray Loose Tea 4oz – $1.994oz – $4.00 Gunpowder Green Tea 4oz – $3.008oz – $5.50 Heat Sealable Tea Bags – Large 4″x5″ Use for bath teas or family size tea bags! 50 – $4.2925 – $2.4950 – $4.2925 – $2.49 Jasmine Tea with Flowers 4oz – $2.994oz – $4.99 Kama Sutra Chai Tea Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil.
