  Superb Black Tea

What’s so great about our Superb Black Tea from Rwanda? It’s pesticide-free, single-source, and Fair Trade Certified™ – a top-quality premium tea in an affordable, convenient tea bag.

This tea is so good, you won’t want to add anything to it: the light, refreshing flavor tastes great without milk, sugar, or sweeteners to take the edge off that astringent bitterness you may have noticed with some teabags.

Because it’s so good without milk, it’s perfect for people who want to stay dairy-free – and no milk makes it zero-calorie, too!

And though it has the delicate flavor of a loose tea, we pack it in tea bags, so it’s good enough to satisfy the most discerning tea aficionado with no messy disposal of soggy tea leaves.

An Affordable Luxury

Fair Trade Certified™

Sophisticated shoppers look for the Fair Trade Certified™ logo, and our tea has it! A portion of the price of every pound of tea goes to fund projects controlled by the workers who pick and process the tea leaves.

Separating the Hype from the Health Benefits

We’re not going to tell you that tea’s good for whatever ails ye – of course that’s not true, and in any case, the FDA won’t allow us to say it – but the evidence is growing: tea has certain benefits.

And we do think people are interested in the facts about the latest medical research into tea and tea drinkers, so we have a review of recent findings on our Tea and Health page.
