Black Currant

Upon opening this tea tin of pyramid pouches, I found the seductive and powerful scent of sweet rose petals and fruit drifting in the air.  I was shocked by the 'flower bouquet' scent the currant berry offers.  This black currant tea finds a way to naturally blend the line between floral/rose oil black tea and tastes great with a bit of milk and nothing more.  Sold by Harney and Sons Fine Tea.  "John's first flavored tea. It has 'big' fruity, berry flavor. This full-bodied tea has become a traditional favorite in fine restaurants all over America."  This tea is a personal favorite for the sleep-deprived college student with 8am classes.

White Orchard


Very aromatic upon opening the pouch with silk tea bag inside. Strong peach and melon scent. Brews rather strong for a white tea.  Hints of fruity flavoring while drinking. Use sugar to bring out flowery notes.  Hard to taste the white leaves over the fruit medley. Excellent as a cooled tea with sugar. Sold by Mighty Leaf.

Green Tea Tropical


Green tea that is not boring.  The tropical fruit notes –pineapple and guava- complement this tea, rather than overpowering.  A harmonious mix that transports you to summer days in the dead of winter.  Sold by Mighty Leaf.
