It just takes a whiff… Flavorful and spicy, herbaceous tulsi balances warming spices and bright citrus. Red peppercorns lend an unexpected surprise to this delightful blend. Chamomile blossoms, lavender, rose petals and a well-rounded floral element.

Cinnamon Apple Rooibos
As you sip this tea, you may immediately think of spiced cider or apple pie. Juicy apple and naturally sweet cinnamon meld effortlessly to create a warming brew. Rooibos provides a gentle nutty finish.
Winter Solstice Herbal Tea
Sweet fruity notes, spice and a hint of creamy almond create an enticing blend, reminiscent of spiced coffee cake. Winter Solstice is light, bright and flavorful; packed with fruit, hibiscus, almond, blackberry leaves, blossoms and even carrot, this blend is surprisingly both tangy and creamy.
