What makes our decaffeinated tea special? For starters, we only use premium teas, but more importantly, our process is chemical free. We use two processes. The 1st is what we call "Canadian Chemical Free CO2 Process" meaning the tea is decaffeinated in a chemical free CO2 environment. In the second (i.e. Irish Breakfast Decaffeinated), the tea is decaffeinated naturally in the green leaf stage of manufacturing, producing this superior tasting decaffeinated tea. Enjoy decaffeinated teas that taste better. |

Green tea's taste profiles are well suited to flavoring - especially with our all-natural flavoring. We offer 2 different origins; China and Sri Lanka. Ceylons have slightly more body and good tea flavor whereas China greens have a milder green tea taste - both are equally popular and enjoyable. |

The story of rooibos began around the turn of the century in South Africa. The locals discovered that the needle-like leaves of the 'Aspalathus Linearis' plant made a tasty and aromatic tea. The green needles are picked, chopped, bruised, fermented, then sun dried. Those that consume rooibos have claimed it has a soothing effect on headaches, disturbed sleep patterns and digestive problems. |

There are probably more varieties of green tea than there are varieties of any other manufactured product. From fabled matcha, the powdered tea of the Japanese tea ceremony, to the hand rolled masterpieces of Yunnan province, leaves of Camelia Sinensis can take on innumerable variations of form and flavor. To the trained taster, each offering speaks of the quality of the mountain air in which they were grown and the time of year in which they were plucked. To the tea lover, each green tea opens up a new world of delicate flavor, aroma and color.
