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 ones create a sustained buzz that won't result in the familiar unwanted "crash" that often follows coffee.
This delicious, aromatic dessert tea is a blend of premium black tea with real pieces of gourmet caramel that quickly melt into the tea. Gently sweetened, with an enigmatic aroma, this tea is wonderful with milk or on its own. This tea yields a deep burgundy liquor and slightly creamy body. (Note: the caramel bits in this tea contain sugar).

Black Tea
Uplifiting, yet reduces Stress Hormone Levels
Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Viral
Anti-Oxidant, Anti-Aging
Black Tea is known to banish fatigue, stimulate mental powers, and raise energy levels. It has been shown to reduce stress hormone levels and acts as a nerve sedative, frequently relieving headaches. Black tea contains a number of vitamins considered essential for maintaining health, including Carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, has antioxidant and protective properties, Vitamin B1 and Panothenic Acid, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6.
Black Tea also contains antioxidants which may help to protect your body from the ravages of aging and environmental effects. Because they are allowed to ferment completely before drying, most black teas are especially rich in those polyphenols which have been shown to be effective against dementia in aging as well as AIDS related dementia. These compounds penetrate the blood brain barrier and have also been found to reduce blood cholesterol levels.
Black tea is known for its antiviral and antibacterial properties. It can be topically applied to cuts, bruises and burns, and is famous for its sunburn relief and has been shown to have a positive effect on preventing tooth decay and gum disease.

Author: Joey L. At first I was reluctant to try this tea because I am not a fan of caramel. But the caramel bits in this dessert tea did not overpower the flavor. You can certainly taste it, but it's not aggressive and adds a brilliant creamy feel. I will definitely be back for more Creme Caramel!
Author: Cay It's a good tea. If it had a different name I would have called it excellent. I don't taste caramel. Its description really oversold what it is. Want a good tea (iced or hot) this one is for you. Want creme caramel? Forget it.
Author: William Matthews I like the taste of the caramel,to me it just right.
Author: Samuel Gibson I love the faint taste of caramel. When sweetened with honey it brings out the caramel. Hint: for an after dinner drink, add a tbsp od Irish Cream.
Crème Caramel Granita
This is the richest and most refined of frozen treats.
INGREDIENTS: 4 cups water, 3/4 cup sugar, 6 teaspoons CREME CARAMEL loose leaves, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ounce good–quality caramels, chopped.
PREPARATION: Bring water and sugar to a boil in a large saucepan. Add tea and remove from the heat. Cover the pan and steep for 10 minutes. Strain the tea leaves and discard. Place the pan over medium–high heat and slowly add cocoa, whisking until smooth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer until the mixture thickens slightly, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Add caramels and stir until completely melted and smooth. Pass through a strainer into a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions. (Alternatively, freeze in a shallow metal pan until solid, about 6 hours. Break into chunks and process in a food processor until smooth.) The sorbet should be thick and icy after processing. If you prefer it firmer, place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Serves: 6
