Tea: Warm and Comforting

We have a new luxury tea line joining our product selection:
Tea Forté. 

  Tea Forté comes in a large selection of flavours and packaging.  They have four main types of tea: black tea, green tea, white tea and herbal tea.  The teas come loose or packaged in different types of sachets.

  For this holiday season, Tea Forté is offering the limited edition Warming Joy Tea Collection.  This collection includes herbal and black tea blends.  The herbal teas include the following blends: Harvest Apple Spice, Winter Chai and Moroccan Orange Blossom.  For the black tea blends there are Vienna Cinnamon and Hazelnut Truffle.  All the teas in this collection are offered in their signature pyramid silken infusers.

  The Warming Joy Tea Collection come in a variety of different combinations to suit each one's needs.  If you are looking for a small sample to try, you might be interested in the Duo which offers 2 infusers (one each of Harvest Apple Spice and Winter Chai).  For a little more selection, the Tea Pyramid offers 6 infusers (two each of three blends: Harvest Apple Spice, Winter Chai, and Hazelnut Truffle).  The Warming Joy Tea Petite Ribbon Box or the Warming Joy Tea Ribbon Box is the perfect gift for the tea lover in your life.  Both of these boxes offer all 5 blends of tea.  There are 10 tea infusers in the petite box and 20 infusers in the regular box. 

  Don't forget to brew the Warming Joy Tea Collection with Tea Forté's Kati (Tea Brewing System) in Cranberry Red.  This ceramic cup is double-walled to keep the tea hot and the outside comfortable to the touch.  It comes with a stainless steel infuser for brewing loose leaf teas and the lid on this cup doubles as a holder for your tea bag or infuser.

  In Tea Forté's regular collection is the Petite Sampler Collection which includes the following 10 blends: Earl Grey (organic black tea), Black Current (black tea), White Ambrosia (white tea), White Ginger Pear (white tea), Green Mango Peach (organic green tea), Jasmine Green (organic), African Solstice (herbal tea tea), Chamomile Citron (organic herbal tea), Raspberry Nectar (herbal tea) and Ginger Lemongrass (organic herbal tea).

  We are also offering the Gourmet Box in 4 individual tea blends. Each box has 6 silken tea infusers in one flavour. The flavours are Black Current, White Ginger Pear, Moroccan Mint, African Solstice.

  Looking for something to help you relax?  Then Tea Forté's Herbal Retreat Single Steeps Sampler is for you. Tea blends in this collection are caffeine-free, USDA organic, and Fair Trade Certified. The sampler includes 5 different teas in loose leaf packaging. The 5 tea blends are Apricot Amaretto, Mojito Marmalade, Cherry Cosmo, Blueberry Merlot, and Kiwi Lime Ginger. There are three packets of each tea in the box.
  Try brewing the loose leaf tea from Herbal Retreat in the Birdsong Kati (in muted earthy tones), to give you the perfect cup of relaxation. 

  Minteas are an all natural mint made with organic tea, fruits and herbs that help to promote wellness during the hectic day. They are only 1 calorie each and taste great.  They come in 5 different flavours/areas of well-being: Reboot (for energy in cocoa mate), Results (for fitness in matcha chai), Resist (to say well in lime mojito), Regroup (for focus in ginger pear), Retreat (for relaxation in lemongrass yuzu). 
 
  Whether you are looking to try a new tea or trying to buy a great gift for someone, Tea Forté offers something for everyone.  Remember, it's never too early to start thinking about Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers.
