Health:Tea leaves contain vitamins A,B,C (green teas in particular) K,P,PP and chlorophyll. They are also rich in fluoride and thus effective against tooth decay.
Stimulating: Tea contains two main elements, theophylline and tannin, whose stimulating properties are considerable. Theophylline has a marked action on the brain and central nervous system. Tea stimulates without exiting.
Diuretic:Tea has no calories or sodium. It dissolves food fats and aids digestion. Tea is therefore suited to salt-free diets.
Alkaline: As a result of its alkalinity, tea taken in normal quantities helps fight off the acidification of the human body.

Tea and Caffeine:
A cup of the may contain up to 3 times less caffeine than a cup of coffee- A release from the U.S.FDA. There is an impression that tea has more caffeine than coffee. It is true as far as a pound of loose tea to a pound of loose coffee. But when brewed, one can brew up to 150 cups of tea with a pound of tea, but with a pound of coffee only 60 cups can be made. Hence, the per cup content of caffeine in tea is far less than a cup of coffee. A six ounce serving of drip coffee has anywhere between 110 to 140 mg of caffeine, where as a 6 oz servings of black tea brewed for 3 minutes has only up to 36 mg of caffeine. The 36 mg caffeine content does up to 72 mg if the same tea i brewed for 5 minutes. Pick from our large Loose Teas selection!

Tea and Milk:
Milk is often added to black tea to add creamy texture and cancel astringent flavor. Some teas go well with milk such as Assam and Yunnan black teas. With other teas, such as green, white, or oolong teas, milk is not recommended. One must also be careful not to mix citrus, such as lemon with milk, as it will make the milk curdle in your tea.

Flavored teas, or perfumed teas, are the result of tea leaves being enhanced by the addition of oils, scents, flavorings, dried flowers, or dried fruits. Since the dawn of time, the Chinese, fathers of humanist civilization, poets of the joy of living, learned and than taught us to find joy in nature. Tea, wondrous messenger of their ancestral customs, lends itself to blends with subtle flavors without either the tea or the flavoring losing out. Our best-known example is the bergamot-scented tea the English baptized “Earl Grey”.
The finest flavored teas are those in which you enjoy the flavor and taste the tea at the same time. High-grown teas from India’s Nilgiri region seem to lend themselves to flavoring best of all. Nilgiri is used as the base for almost all our flavored teas. Nilgiri teas yield bright and brisk liquors and do not cloud; flavored or not, therefore, they also make excellent iced teas.
Our decaffeinated teas are made with Nilgiri water process decaf tea base. The herbal flavored teas are made with Rooibos-South African Red Bush as the base. See our Rooibos Teas Selection

The physical and emotional aspects of tea drinking have been an integral part of the
mystique that has surrounded tea for centuries. In the earliest treatise written on the subject, the author, an eastern philosopher, wrote: “Tea dispels lassitude. Relieves fatigue, awakens thought., refreshes the body, harmonized the mind and tempers the spirit… One should drink tea four or five times…” The dose recommended for one day was transposed by another Asian bard who sang: “One cup does all disorders cure; with two your troubles will be fewer, three to the bones more vigour give, with four forever you will live as young as on your day of birth-a true immemorial on the earth.”
