Earl Grey: A traditional blend of China and Darjeeling teas, with a mild flavor and smoky fragrance.

Ginger: Ginger root gives a beguiling hint of sweetness and spice

Formosa Oolong: Gentle brown tea with the fruity aroma of ripe peaches

Ceylon: A mild, deep gold breakfast blend with a lovely bouquet

Orange Pekoe: The word “orange” refers to the size of the tea leaves, not the mild flavor.

Constant Comment: A black tea scented with orange rinds.

Jasmine: Dried jasmine flowers add a lovely bouquet to green or black tea leaves

Mint: A bright, refreshing herb tea; a national drink of Morocco.

Lemon Verbena: A soothing, slightly citrusy herbal tea
