Green, Black and Red Teas
For decades extensive research has confirmed the many health benefits that are associated with drinking green tea (Camelilia sinensis) and its fermented cousin, black tea. Now these delicious teas have lived up to their promise and potential as a healthy beverage enjoyed by millions of people as a dietary regular. The most exciting part concerning the development of tea is the wonderful varieties we have to choose from!
Currently there are varieties that are partially fermented, fully fermented and roasted. We can also choose from a light tea, a dark tea, a heavy tea, or teas that are palatable for children. There are even flavored teas with flower petals and essential oils, and teas that have an almost sweet flavor. Recently we have celebrated the arrival of 2 newcomers to the tea world…. Rooibos and Honeybush. Both of these teas share similar health characteristics as green tea, but without the caffeine and they have a smooth and sweet aftertaste. Mountain Rose spent several years investigating the world tea market, quality differences and varieties offered. Below you will find the teas which we believe are to be the highest quality, most flavorful, and having organic certification and Fair Trade certification attached. Enjoy!

*Please Note*
Given the relatively high cost of green tea, it is important to remind ourselves that 1 ounce of green tea
can generate up to 20 cups of tea.

White tea is picked early in the season when the buds are still fresh, young and tender. Because of this early picking, the taste white tea produces is very mild, and sweet without the sometimes astringent qualities of regular green teas.
White tea consists of beautiful, full length leaves, having a shape that resembles blossom petals. While the name of this tea can be a misnomer, it should be understood that it is embodied with hues of green, and fermented brown, with delicate white "needles" to lay the final touches.
