A selection of three delicious loose leaf teas hand selected by Team Vee:

"The Heart Wants Green Tea"

A classic organic green tea from China - one of China’s Ten Famous Teas (teas previously enjoyed only by the Emperor). Also known as Longjing, this beautiful green tea with a distinct appearance is made by artisan tea makers. The budsets are finely plucked during mid-spring and painstakingly flattened, each leaf appearing like a sparrow’s beak or a papyrus sword.

On steeping, the Jade Mountain organic green tea gives up a straw-colored liquor with a hint of amber. It has a fragrant floral bouquet with a smooth refreshing mouthfeel.

"Cacao Connect"

Cacao Connect is a creative blend of organic Colombian black tea with cacao nibs and shells that produces a unique and truly delicious flavor profile. The cacao is from Tumaco, a region in the Colombian Pacific (South West), which is known to produce one of the most aromatic cacaos in the country used to make extra fine chocolates.

Expertly crafted by our friends at the Bitaco Tea Estate located on the western slope of the Andes mountains. This organic black tea is grown in rich volcanic soil at elevations of 1,800-2,000 M. Bitaco has been growing and manufacturing tea for over 50 years but in 2013 they collaborated with Darjeeling tea growers to change their manufacturing processes which has resulted in the production of some very fine teas.

DRY LEAF: Full leaf, long and wiry with pieces of cacao nibs and shells. Rich aroma of cacao.

"MeTeamorph"

You’ll feel invigorated when you sip this fragrant, spicy-sweet blend of ginger and holy basil, a plant revered for its stress-relieving properties in the ancient Ayurveda tradition.

Tulsi, or holy basil as the variety grown in India is called, is rich in antioxidants that benefit both body and mind. It is a sacred herb that strengthens the immune system and helps relieve stress and anxiety.

Ginger has traditionally been used in Ayurveda to improve digestion and help remove toxins. The effectiveness of using ginger as a home-remedy against cough and cold is well known.*

INGREDIENTS: organic holy basil and organic ginger
