We created Special English Breakfast, a strong blend of black teas from India, Sri Lanka, and Kenya, in association with the St. George’s Society of New York. Founded in 1770, the Society provides vital support to people in need across New York’s five boroughs and serves as one of America’s oldest charities. A portion of the proceeds from each purchase of this tea supports their charitable endeavors, including protecting seniors at risk of homelessness, enabling low-income students to complete their college education, and helping families affected by pediatric cancer. For more information on the Society’s work, please visit www.stgeorgessociety.org

Grown under shade in the gardens of Wazuka Valley, south of Uji, Jobetsugi comes from a region that has made matcha for centuries. The leaves are picked in the first spring harvest, when the savory umami in the cup is at its peak, then air-dried into the raw leaf called tencha. Stone mills grind that Tencha to powder slowly, stone turning against stone, and a single small tin takes close to two hours. What remains is a fine, brilliant-green powder, meant to be whisked into a bowl, not steeped in a pot.

Our Organic Earl Grey is a nice blend of Assam from the northern bank of the Brahmaputra River and Korakundah, located in southern India, with natural oil of bergamot. Since both are organic teas, the aroma is light and subtle, allowing the lemony bergamot to be more pronounced. A perfect and popular afternoon tea, you'll find it round and rich.

Matcha is a much beloved green tea in Japan, yet it can seem intense to the uninitiated westerner. As an alternative, we suggest Matcha iri Genmaicha, the best of both worlds. The Bancha ("cha") leaves and brown rice ("genmai") that comprise Genmaicha are coated with Matcha green tea powder, and the result is fantastic!

Please brew it for 3 minutes with 175º water. The cooler water makes sure matcha does not get too strong, yet you need 3 minutes to get the nutty flavor from the genmai (brown rice).

An ancient tea from Yunnan, Pu-Erh's earthy pleasures have a passionate group of followers. This particular version is a dark, savory cooked Pu-Erh and makes for a striking brew. Brigitte Harney is especially a fan. This Pu-Erh is shou style. Shou Pu-Erh is differentiated from sheng Pu-Erh in that it is fermented before it is packaged, compressed, and sold for consumption.

Royal Wedding is a remarkable blend of Chinese Mutan White tea buds with almond, coconut, and vanilla, and an abundance of pink rosebuds and petals. It is indeed a regal tea to celebrate a glorious occasion.

Our Mint Verbena is an invigorating herbal that combines two favorites: Caffeine-free mint and Lemon Verbena. Mint is also known to calm a temperamental stomach.

About 30 years ago, friend and colleague Andrew Demmer decided to mix dried fruit and flavors together for his tea shops in Vienna, Austria. These blends were not from the tea plant, were caffeine-free, and were refreshingly delicious. Andrew decided to call them fruit teas. They have become popular in Middle Europe and now here in the States. Our selection of fruit tea blends brews up a wonderful red color and has vibrant flavors. Caffeine-free. Goji Berry was an original creation we made, which has quickly become one of customers most drinked fruit teas.

Indulge your senses in the flavors of Venetian Tiramisu tea. Evocative and romantic, each cup begins with a blend of delicately floral Mutan White tea and toasty Japanese Hojicha. Swirling flavors of cocoa and vanilla layer throughout the tea, accented with cocoa nibs and just a hint of brandy flavor. The result is a shimmering, deliciously complex infusion that summons up visions of Venice with every sip.

We came up with this wonderful blend over a decade ago. We loved the combination of flavors against the subtle backdrop of the white tea. No exciting name came to our heads, so we called it what it was: white, vanilla, and grapefruit. People find that the tea is a pleasant surprise, and it is better than anticipated. Please give this tea a try. We all need pleasant surprises!

Over the years, Paris has become one of our most popular teas. Many people love the complex blend of fruit, citrus, and creamy vanilla, though some of you requested an herbal alternative without caffeine.

Soba Roasted Buckwheat is a traditional Japanese specialty that is prepared as you would an herbal tisane. It is naturally caffeine-free, with a delightful toasty flavor and nutty undertones. It was always Brigitte Harney's favorite on our visits to the former Takashimaya on Fifth Avenue, NY, where we supplied tea for their renowned tea room over many years. We've since found a fine source and are pleased to continue offering it. This Soba tea can be eaten and cooked with!
