	Blended & Herbal Tea
	Blending the subtle flavors of fresh loose tea.
	It was only natural that when Gayla started to carry premium teas, she would begin to experiment with different flavors. Using her carefully trained palate and teaching herself about the subtle nuances that make fine teas so distinctive, Gayla has created several blends of loose teas. Many of these teas will be recognizable to any tea drinker. However, there are quite a few that can be found nowhere else. "Teas have become another adventure for me," Gayla says. "They have forced me to be even more discerning as their flavors can be a lot more subtle than coffee." There is bound to be a flavor combination that will delight and please. And if you cannot find a blend that interests you, please let us know. Gayla is always willing to experiment and can almost always custom blend a tea to meet your discerning palate.

Iced Tea Blends
Iced tea is almost exclusively an American beverage. Created during the sweltering summer of 1893 at Chicago's Columbian Exposition; an Englishman who had been selling steaming hot Indian tea added ice to appeal to the Exposition-goers and inadvertently created a beverage that would change the tastes of the US.

We have created our own custom blends of iced tea, designed to refresh and delight a dry throat, as well as retain their flavor in ice.

China Black: Our "standard" iced tea: a refreshing and familiar blend of black teas.
Regular, $6.50 4oz.
Tropical Breeze: A fruity tea blend, contains plum, peach, and mango. You can almost hear the pounding surf and feel the warm, refreshing tropical breezes...
Regular, $7.50 4oz.

Roobios and Roobios Blends
More than 300 years ago, Red Tea was a traditional drink of the indigenous inhabitants of the Western Cape in South Africa. The locals harvested the wild plants and produced tea by bruising the spiky leaves with wooden hammers and drying the fermented plants in the sun. The botanist Carl Humberg first reported the resulting beverage in 1772.

Since the early 1900's, Red Tea has been treasured as an elixir for the mind, body and spirit. This rich, red tea came from a wild plant of the legume family called Aspalathus Linearis which grew on the slopes of the beautiful Cederberg Mountains in Cape Town. They believed this tea to have tremendous healing powers, and it is known in South Africa as "the Miracle Tea." We feature a line of various blends using this wonderful herb.
