Products | Black Teas
How do you improve upon a classic? For our premium black teas, we let the quality of the full-leaf Chinese black tea shine through. We add only those flavor essences that enhance the overall taste and experience of this tea. In this medium-robust to full-bodied black tea, you will first and foremost taste the extraordinarily clean finish of the black tea followed by a subtle hint of our high-quality vanilla and fruit essences.
Enjoy our wide selection of black tea blends, from the traditionally elegant English Breakfast to our unique Rooibos Mint, made with a delicately smooth mixture of South African red tea. Our classic black teas also make delicious, clear iced teas — a summertime favorite. Black Cherry and Strawberry Black teas are an iced-tea lover’s dream.

Herbal Cows
A dairy farmer stopped by our booth to sniff out our herbal blends. Apparently, he had been experimenting with feeding various herbs to his herd and found the herbs even had benefits to cows, such as increased milk production and better-tasting dairy products. Who knew?
