Tea flavors come from a variety of different combinations of tea leaves and and add-ins.
| Flavor Name | Tastes |
|---|---|
| Apple Tea | As you experimentally sip the tea, memories of freshly sliced apples are heralded to the forefront of your mind, flooding your senses with a taste and scent both crisp and sweet. With a sweet and mellow taste, the apple tea warms you to the core and melds seamlessly with the flavor of the black tea. |
| Orange Tea | A bitter twinge of citrus lingers in the background of the tea, subtly masked by a honeyed hint of orange flavoring. The scent of the tea, warm and distinctly citrus, precedes the actual flavor in a warm breath of steam. |
| Peach Tea (i) | The dusky taste of the tea itself tames the sweet peachy flavor that rides in the forefront. If not for the dry quality of the black tea, the accompanying peach flavoring would be overwhelmingly sweet. |
| Cranberry Tea | Tart and rich, a twang of cranberry enlivens the taste of the tea. Getting a whiff cranberry from the tea's rising steam doesn't prepare you for the fruit's sharp zest. |
| Blackberry Tea | The full-bodied taste of the tea is enhanced by a hint of blackberry, which is just sweet enough to keep the bitterness at bay. The scent of blackberries teases your sense of smell as the tea rolls over your tongue, its taste less sugary than the aroma of the berry implied. |
| Raspberry Tea | The scent of raspberry rising from the tea has a fresh tenor reminiscent of warm summer days. A roiling mixture of sweet and tart compliment the flavor of this light-bodied tea in a splash of raspberry zest. |
| Spearmint Tea | In a mild base of white tea, the refreshing flavor of spearmint is a relaxing indulgence. With a hint of chamomile lingering in the background, the refreshingly minty flavor of this tea is soothing. |
| Peppermint Tea | The cleansing essence of peppermint has been infused into this light-bodied tea, creating a refreshing experience for the palate. A warm peppermint-scented breath rises from the tea, pale in color and rejuvenating in taste. |
| Plum Tea | With a smoky flavor sweetened by an infusion of red plum, this tea has a warm, autumnal aroma. Highlighted by hints of clove and nutmeg, the sweet scent of plum rises from the tea, and the flavor suffuses your senses with thoughts of the harvest and falling leaves. |
| Lemon Tea | The inviting fragrance of lemon rushes from the tea on a cloud of steam, preceding the mellow flavor of this black tea. Just a hint of bitterness lurks in the background of the tea's lemony flavor, like a fruit cut too close to the pith. |
| Strawberry Tea | With just a smattering of cinnamon to even out the cloying flavor of strawberry, this tea is exquisitely mild and flavorful. Aromatic with hints of strawberry and cinnamon, the dusky flavor of this tea is all but lost behind the sweet and spice. |
| Loganberry Tea | The sweetness of blackberry and the tartness of raspberry merge in this loganberry tea to create an aromatic blend that is mellow and full-bodied. With a dark reddish tint, the murky loganberry tea has a distinctive aroma echoed in its peculiar taste. |
| Peach Tea (ii) | The sweet taste of peaches rolls over your tongue, its strong flavor enough to evoke the image of orchards filled with the sweet fruit. Green and white tea blends together, with a light glaze of cinnamon added in for spice. An almost tart zest hides behind the overall pale taste of fresh, honeyed peaches, creating an overall light and refreshing flavor. |
| Garden of Greyvael | A floral whisper of mallow blossom hovers at the edge of the black tea's broader notes of vanilla and bergamot, leaving a scent memory that lingers long after the bolder tastes have faded. Just a touch of bittersweet licorice root winds about a mellowing thread of mallow flower, and their joining adds a pleasing complexity to the smooth mingling of vanilla, citrus, and aged black tea. |
| Tart Cherry Tea | Tart and somewhat sour, cherries flavor the black tea, which is infused with the subtle tastes of mint and vanilla. As you inhale the deeply rich armoa of the tea, warmth floods over your tongue. Notes of ripe, red and black cherries saturate the hot liquid, offset by sweeter flavors that are wrapped around the sweet, tangy tartness. |
| Mango and Ginger Tea | Tropical fruit flavor runs through your mouth and down your throat, with underlying hints of ginger, providing the mango with a unique spiced savor. As you sip at the tea, the strong scent of ginger fills your senses. The taste of mangos is at odds with the fragrance, yet the combination of flavor and aroma sends a small thrill through your tastebuds. |
| Black Pepper Tea | Spiced, almost as if directly mixed in with freshly ground pepper, the black tea clears your sinuses with its strong bouquet. Dark black tea runs through your mouth, and as you feel it slip down your throat, you taste the rich undertones of chocolate and black liquorice. The result is a combination that strong without being overbearing. |
| White Pear Tea | White tea is infused with sweet pears, then enhanced with highlights of honey, chai, and chrysanthemum. It fills up your senses and momentarily clears your mind. Warm and enticing, the tea is filled with the flavor of juicy pears, its honeyed scent coupled with the underlying hint of chai, creating a perfect blend of light and refreshing. |
| Tropical Night | The scent of richly blended black tea is perfused with the slightly bitter tinge of bittersweet blood oranges and the bouquet of cinnamon, allspice, and a hint of clove. Though the initial taste is a bit astringent, the palette is soothed with a finish of sweet-tart hibiscus. |
| Summer Reverie | Subtle flavors of tart lychee, kiwi, and mango infuse the light vanilla body of the white tea, adding a sweet fruit-like aftertaste. Fragrant and tropical, the unique flavor of pressed hibiscus flowers intermingles with the bright fruit notes lounging across the palate. |
| Chamomile Bloom | Delicate and subtle, the taste of chamomile blossoms soothes the senses as the flavors of rose petal, lemon balm leaf, and sarsaparilla add mild layers to the tea. Smoothing and warm, the mild taste of chamomile blossoms, rose petal, sarsaparilla, and lemon balm leaf tickle your taste buds in a gentle dance of relaxation. |
| Misty Rose | The tea tastes distinctly flowery, with the heady aroma of roses heightening the flavor. As fragrant as it is warming, the taste of roses and vanilla burst through the liquid, enveloping your taste buds and lingering at the back of your throat. Racial Messages: An unusual but exquisite blend of three distinct teas creates a unique taste, enriched with an infusion of rosehip and hibiscus. A delicious interplay of vanilla and extracted strawberry juice adds to the delicately subtle taste. Light and gentle on the palate, complimentary tastes of fruit and rosehip combine to provide a remarkable soothing tea. The pureness of the taste is matched only by the clarity of the liquid. |
| Licorice Tea | Smooth and invigorating, a strong licorice flavor adds a vibrancy and natural sweetness to the liquid. A pungent sickly sweet aroma invades your senses as the slightly thick liquid touches the tongue, leaving a licorice aftertaste. Racial Messages: The delightfully enchanting taste of raspberries gives way to the more subtle licorice flavor beneath. The interplay of flavors creates a beautiful fragrant blend of tea that stimulates the senses. The initial burst of sweetness stemming from the fruit-suffused liquid is gradually supplanted by a sweet licorice flavor with a surprisingly salty undertone. |
| Dandelion and Orange | The distinctive soft dandelion flavor is enhanced by scented orange, giving this tea an unexpected liveliness. Fruity and pungent, the zesty orange provides a freshness that partially masks the more subdued flavor of dandelion. Racial Messages: A beautifully combined blend of mellow dandelion and slightly tart orange creates a soft fruity tea that is refreshing. The flavor is enhanced by the delicate taste of lemongrass. Sweet and mellow, lemongrass and multiple spices emanate from the fragrant liquid. Gentle waves of a zesty orange and delicate dandelion add just the right note to the soft-bodied, lightly spiced flavor. |
| Traveler's Respite | Black, green, and white teas are blended with a hint of sassafras to give a rich tea experience. Several types of teas blend to create a bold flavor, mellowed by just the right amount of sassafras, which adds an exotic sweetness. Racial Messages: The fresh taste of the green leaves serves as an excellent contrast to the roasted and ground tea. A counterpoint to the light, sweet taste is marginally discernible in the form of lily and pear blossoms. A faint lingering sweet aftertaste of mellow pear blossom and gentle lilies cleanses the palate after the intense flavors of the various tea leaves and the woody biting sweetness of the sassafras. |
| Azure Velvet | A soothing blend of blueberries and blackberries enhances the delicate taste of the tea, leaving a sweet and tangy aftertaste. An energetic flair, reminiscent of late summer berries, rolls across your tongue, but there is something more that you can't quite put your finger on. Racial Messages: The powerful flavors of late summer blueberries and blackberries imbue a strong sweetness to the tea, which is both enhanced by and in turn enhances the bright, citrusy flavor of the black tea. The tea lands at the perfect intersection between sweet, jam-like fruitiness and something sharper, reminiscent of wine. A subtle hint of cinnamon graces your tongue, almost hidden by the powerful burst of tart and sweet from the berry medley infused in the black tea. Despite a strong black currant-like quality, the tea has a surprisingly dry finish. |
| Imaera's Mystery | The taste of this strong, fruity white tea immediately assails the mouth with notes of blaestonberry, spearmint, and sovyn clove. The tea has the soothing scent of Imaera's Lace. Flavors of blaestonberry, white tea, spearmint, and sovyn clove powerfully and pleasantly mix on the tongue. As they fade, a light, flowery flavor lingers in the mouth. Racial Messages: Strong, rich overtones of blaestonberry are immediately followed by touches of sovyn clove and spearmint. As the white tea mellows, the light flavor of Imaera's Lace slowly rises and then fades. A sudden rush of blaestonberry floods the mouth for a moment before being joined by notes of astringent sovyn clove and soothing spearmint. As the complex, fruity mixture wanes, the light taste of Imaera's Lace briefly haunts the tongue. |
| Peony Punch | Floral peony and sweet peach flavors are balanced nicely with tart lemon verbena. The familiar scent of vanilla is almost overwhelmed by rich flowery peony and luscious peaches. Racial Messages: The intoxicating fragrances of peony blossoms greet your nostrils, quickly followed by the sweet scent and flavor of ripe summer peaches. The subtle white tea gives way to the bright zing of fresh lemon verbena. Tangy lemon verbena teases the tongue and cleanses the palate, almost obscuring the delicate white tea. The heady aroma of dark pink peony soothes the senses. Plump juicy peaches and just a hint of vanilla honey the pot. |
| Jasmine Dreams | Deep rich flavors of blackberry and spicy phlox compliment the heavy scent of jasmine. Flaeshornberry sugars the tongue against the tanginess of blackberries and spicy phlox. Soft apple blossoms taunt the nostrils before the intoxicating bouquet of jasmine takes over. Racial Messages: The heady fragrance of jasmine is tamed by the delicate scent of apple blossoms. Bitter-sweet blackberries deepen the teas color and lift the subtle spiciness of pink phlox. The sweet honey tones of flaeshornberry weave through the complexity of the concoction. Dark black tea tempers the tea as sweet flaeshornberry nectar collides with the tartness of voluptuous blackberries.

| Velvet and Vengeance | A lingering sweetness, lush with honey and ripe cherries, brings the smoked black tea and aromatic spices into balance. Peppery undertones suggest grains of paradise and ginger within the spice blend, while mellow notes of cardamom lend it warmth. A hint of bitter almond remains after the honeyed spices fade.
Darkly potent and redolent of spices, the tea's heart notes of cardamom and grains of paradise lend warmth to the astringency of fresh ginger. Before the ginger's bite becomes too sharp, layers of honey and smoke mellow it to a velvety smoothness made fuller with an undertone of bitter almond. |
