Our organic teas are certified by Quality Assurance International, an independent third-party organic certifying agency. This means every aspect of the cultivation and handling and packaging of our teas is carefully inspected to insure the authenticity of our promise of organic integrity.  We certify that they are not only organic, but also a treat to drink!

ASSAM (India) Black  Tea --- Historically, the Assam tea bush is a subgenus of Camellia sinensis.  This variety of tea was found growing wild in the Assam Province of Northeast India when the British East India Company was studying a proposal to grow tea in India.  It was successfully cultivated in Assam and by May 1838 a few chests were shipped to London.  The first consignment of eight chests of Assam tea was auctioned off in 1839 heralding the advent of Indian tea on the World Markets.  This tea is a classic top- quality Assam, very full-bodied and tending "juicy".  Quite often milk is used to tone down the strength of the tea.     $2.48/oz.     BUY  NOW --- For More Information, Photo, Brewing, & Ingredients....

EARL GREY (Sri Lanka) Black Tea --- What type of tea do we use, how do we flavor the tea and why do we use natural flavors? Firstly... we only use high grown teas from the top 3 tea growing regions of Sri Lanka - Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Uva.  Secondly... we use flavoring oils not crystals to give the tea drinker an olfactory holiday before indulging in the liquid tea treat.  Thirdly... we specify natural flavors. High quality tea tastes good and natural flavors do not mask the natural taste of the high grown Ceylon tea. $5.08/oz.  BUY  NOW --- For More Information, Photo, Brewing, & Ingredients...

MANGO MANGO (Sri Lanka) --- Piquant and exotic with mysterious fruit notes. The cup has a sweetness and delicate hints of island musk that peep out. Makes a superb iced tea.  $5.08/oz.   BUY  NOW --- For More Information, Brewing, Ingredients...

PEPPERMINT (USA)  ---  The world’s best peppermint grows in the Northwestern part of the USA where the pure moist mountain air of the early Spring and Summer allows the plant to develop the most pleasingly pungent peppermint available anywhere. Peppermint is an herb and contains no caffeine. Often peppermint is consumed because it sweetens breath, eases digestion, heartburn, stomach aches, and nausea. It can even be used in the bath to provide a cooling effect on fevered or hot skin.   $2.97/oz.  BUY NOW --- For More Information, Photo, Brewing, & Ingredients...

SENCHA FUJI (Japan) Green Tea --- Tea was introduced to Japan from China in the 7th and 8th Century. Records indicate that Japan's Emperor Kammu gave visiting monks an imperial gift of green tea. Emperor Kammu created a government post called 'Supervisor of Tea' as Japan began to cultivate its own tea. That this post was in the medical bureau, indicates that even then, there was tremendous respect for the health aspects of tea. Further evidence of the correlation between health and tea, was found in a small book written in the 1200's, 'Tea Drinking is Good for Health'. The book tells that tea drinking confers many health benefits.     $3.79/oz.     BUY  NOW --- For More Information, Photo, Brewing, & Ingredients...

Organic teas are the ones that are grown in tea estates with absolutely no chemical inputs or artificial fertilizers. Nutrition for the tea bushes is provided by the use of Vermiculture and large scale application of compost and oil cakes. All pest and disease control is carried out by purely natural methods of cultivation. Compost, neem cake and castor cake are dug into trenches to enhance the soil. In addition, neem acts as a natural insect repellant. The soil in the estates is carefully inspected throughout the year by the certifying body. A new estate receives a certificate that says organic in transit for the first three years of its conversion. After the three-year period a regular organic certification is issued. Certificates are reissued every year after inspections.
