Our collection of global tea represents all the traditional tea producing nations with their signature varieties. Over the past 4000 years, the tea plant spread to each of these nations, where it took on a unique form and flavor due to the regional terroir, namely the local soil quality, humidity, altitude, and temperature. Each region also developed specialized methods of processing the tea leaf to obtain a particular taste and form. Shaped by the traditions of their culture, local tea masters are still developing and perfecting regional tea around the world. Explore our collection!
Caffeine naturally occurs in the tea plant, causing all traditional teas to have a naturally occurring amount level of caffeine. Chemical processes can be used to extract most of the caffeine from tea leaves, however we do not carry these processed decaf teas. We do, however, have a variety of herbal teas that are naturally 100% caffeine free. On the other hand, other traditional teas are naturally highly caffeinated. These create a sustained buzz that won't result in the familiar unwanted "crash" that often follows coffee.
Our best selling green tea! This blend of fine Japanese Sencha and high grade Chinese Dragonwell combine to create a rich yet refreshing base, while wild strawberries and rhubarb flavors add a subtle twist. This tea yields a bright liquor with a luxurious aroma and brisk, vivid flavor. The ideal accompaniment to dark chocolate.

It may help modulate calorie and fat burning through the sympathetic nervous system, the adrenal glands and specific nerve chemicals.

Author: Betty Shafer LOVE this tea. I brew at least a cup a day in the summer, and I make huge pitchers of it iced for parties. ALWAYS a hit.
Author: Chris Brendel This is the standard I compare all other green teas to. It's great, I make it all the time, and even non-teaholics like me love it!
Author: Angela C Smooth and Sweet!!! Smells enchanting! I made it iced, and my guests drank it ALL. Some took this over the white wine... Can't wait to taste the other Teaspot Greens :)
Author: Mike I've been addicted to this tea for years. You have to be careful to follow the brewing instructions on the tin. Too hot of water or too long brewing, and the tea will become too bitter. That being said, I also get twice as many re-steeps than the tin states.
Author: Melissa B. I’ve always loved green tea, but Boulder Blues is a special green tea blend. The fruty aroma is refreshing, but not overwhelming. I really enjoy this one iced also!
Author: Lauren F Kept me going through long winter days when I lived in Vermont... super relaxing without being sleepy
Author: mark meltzin The smell of this tea is good. However,on the tin there is a list of ingredients, among them strawberry and rhubarb nature-identical flavorings. Which is euphemism for artifitially flavored. Never will buy this again!!!
Author: Jyl You know, I always like the taste of this tea more than the smell. I usually open a few tins to decide what I'm in the mood for and I usually have to force myself to brew this one. When I do, I really like it hot and iced. Yep, I just went and sniffed it again...that being said I love green tea with fruit flavors and this one brews up a winner.
Author: Diane Cochran My first tea from The Tea Spot. I'm hooked - this tea is fabulous!
Author: johnnyBIG Amazing tea! Smells great, and has turned me into a avid tea drinker.
Author: Stephanie Sturm Typically, I'm not one for blended teas, however, a coworker gifted me with a tin of this tea, as I love green teas, and I gave it a shot. It has now replaced my typical daily tea. It's a great "introductory tea" for people who typically do not drink green tea. The subtle fruity notes add brightness that's heightened by the richness of the base teas. It's a perfect way for me to take a few moments to escape during the work day without leaving my cubicle.
Author: Nicole Kohler Honestly the tastiest green tea I've ever had Introduced my friend to it and she placed an order the next day! I can not beleive it took me 32 years to find LOOSE LEAF TEA
Author: Nedra This tea has become the favorite of the office. We go thru almost 2 gallons of it a day :)
Author: Umbreona What we have here is tea drinking bliss. It hits you with a sweet Sencha flavor that lacks all bitterness and is so smooth it can just slide down your throat like sweet cream. This is then followed by a powerful but not unpleasantly strong Strawberry after taste that sticks with you for minutes after your sip.
If you like Strawberries then you will LOVE this. If you like Sencha then you will ADORE this. If you like both then you will be in paradise.
Honeydew Blues Frappe
The intoxicating perfume of a sweet honeydew melon pairs perfectly with the crisp taste and fragrance of BOULDER BLUES. This frothy drink is a delicate celadon color, and will cool and satisfy you through the warmest days of summer.
INGREDIENTS: 3 cups water, boiling; 3 tablespoons BOULDER BLUES leaves; 2 ounces crystallized ginger, roughly chopped; 4 cups cubed ripe honeydew melon; 2 cups ice cubes; Superfine sugar to taste.
PREPARATION: Chill 4 tall glasses. Brew the tea leaves in 1 quart water, according to instructions on the tin (170F water, 3 minutes). Add the crystallized ginger to the steeped tea and let cool until it becomes infused with the ginger flavor, about 15 minutes, or longer if time allows. Chill in refrigerator until cold. Pass liquid through sieve to remove ginger pieces. (For a more spicy flavor, fresh ginger root can be substituted.) Puree the melon and ice in the jar of an electric blender. Add tea ginger infusion and process just to blend. Pour into tall chilled glasses and sweeten to taste with superfine sugar. Garnish with a thin slice of honeydew wrapped with a slice of crystallized ginger. Serves: 4 – 6
