| TEA WITH AN ACCENT |
Black Tea
Black tea is the tea most often seen in the United States, so these teas seem quite familiar.
Blended Black Tea
These are some of the most popular teas. People just love the way that the smooth flavors meld
with the background taste of tea.
Green Tea
Green teas, the earliest form of tea, are processed without oxidation. The resulting leaves infuse
to create a light and refreshing drink that should never be diluted with milk or sweetened with
sugar or honey.
White Tea
These delicate teas are new buds plucked before they open and are withered to allow the
natural moisture to evaporate and then are gently dried. The curled up buds have a silvery/white
appearance and give a pale, straw colored liquor. As might be expected, the flavor is subtle and
must be carefully appreciated. Its health benefits are similar to green tea.
Red Tea (Rooibos)
Red Tea Comparable to Green Tea Scientific studies from South Africa and Japan corroborate
findings of potent antioxidants in an indigenous herb tea from the Southwestern Cape region of
South Africa. Called rooibos (roy-boss), this red tea is the only other tea in the world which
undergoes a fermentation process like black tea. Fermentation turns the leaves of rooibos from
green to a deep red color and gives it a slightly sweet note with deep body.
Studies show that rooibos contains comparable amounts of polyphenols to green tea and
shows anti-mutagenic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral activity.
Rooibos, unlike black and green tea is completely caffeine-free. -- Healthy & Natural, Vol. 7,

African Autumn (Rooibos)
We are not even sure that Africa has an autumn, but the marriage of herbal Redbush and
Cranberry and Oranges suggests that is makes sense, and should be considered.
Fruit Infusions (Caffeine Free)
Experience a refreshing healthy drink without caffeine. A terrific ‘tea’ that is unbelievably
delicious and enjoyed hot or cold! The delicious blends of various dried fruits combined with the
natural flavors create a summertime cooler or a winter time summer reminder. Refreshing and
thirst quenching and not overly sweet. An added benefit is that these ‘teas’ contain Vitamin C.
What could be better - a healthy drink that tastes great.
