 Food & Spirits: With the dizzying array of flavored teas on the market, we've come a long way since the days of Earl Grey. From ruby red herbal tea with blended crimson flowers and cinnamon sticks to brilliant mint tea with green rooibus and citrus zest, you can forget about the lumps of sugar. Tea has always been a civilized social activity,ancient civilizations soothed their spirits with intoxicating herbal teas, while British aristocrats discussed the politics and gossip of the day over a cup of piping hot black tea.
Even though we don't go "calling" on our neighbors at High Noon, tea still plays an important role in our culture. And like everything else, with time comes innovation. Go to any grocery store, even a non-specialty chain, and you'll find yourself confronted with several choices in the tea and coffee aisle. In fact, you may be hard pressed to find a box of "regular" tea or coffee, if there still is such a thing.
Tea Forte specializes in high quality, all natural, whole leaf teas. Their herbal blends feature fresh harvested rough-cut herbs and their infusers are filled at the tea gardens in Asia, and sealed for freshness. They offer a wide variety of flavors, including Oasis, Flora, Ginger, Forte, Citrus Mint, Chamomile Tisane, Earl Grey, and Black Currant.
