Herbal Tea Blends or Tisanes are carefully crafted, unique combinations that taste great while being healthy & beneficial. Tea is an excellant substitute for coffee and soft drinks, avaible with or without caffeine.
Our teas are a mix of the highest quality herbal leaves, flowers, roots & barks and are "loose leaf". We also can provide Teas in Bags!
