One of our most popular classic black teas.  Rich, complex flavor; aromatic with hints of oak. Deep burgundy color. Takes milk and a bit of sugar exceptionally well. Wonderful breakfast tea! 

Our delightful field grown lavender comes from Eastern Tibet.  Archaeology indicates Tibetans have used lavender for its restorative and spiritually uplifting qualities for at least a thousand years.  Lavender is used in meditative ceremonies at many temples and shrines in Tibet and is one of the Dalai Lama's favorite herbs.   To prepare as a hot tea, use 1 teaspoon per cup, add boiling water and steep 3 to 7 minutes.  For iced tea, prepare a double to triple strength infusion and pour over ice.   Use in shortbread or scones, or add to many other teas and herbal blends for an intriguing flavor twist.  (1 ounce of lavender buds = about 1 cup)

An excellent Chinese green tea with a light, refreshing somewhat fruity flavor.  Our Organic Peacock is hand-harvested and carefully hand-formed in the early spring.  It is said that if you look closely at the infused leaf you will see the fan of the peacock's tail feathers, but even if you don't you will see a lovely large leaf revealed!  Use 1 tsp. per cup, add near boiling water, and steep 1 to 3 minutes.  Can be resteeped quite nicely.

The most flavorful peppermint come from the Pacific Northwest and this particular peppermint, which hails from our home state of Washington is superb!  Excellent and soothing as a hot tea, and delightfully cooling over ice.  Can be added to other green and black teas to lighten and brighten the flavor.  When added to Gunpowder Greens you'll have a lovely Moroccan Mint style tea.  Use one teaspoon per cup for hot tea, or 2 teaspoons for iced.  Add boiling water and steep for 3 to 7 minutes.  Sweeten if desired. 

Unflavored rooibos is mild, and slightly sweet and fruity in flavor.  A very pleasant caffeine free alternative to true black tea.  In fact, treat rooibos just the same as you would real tea.  Use about 1 teaspoon per cup and steep for 3 to 7 minutes, depending on strength desired.  For a stronger beverage or to enjoy with milk, don't use more, just steep longer.  It will not get bitter.
