  Superb Black Tea

Fair Trade Black Tea from Rwanda
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, but without those soggy tea leaves to dispose of.

An Affordable Luxury

How can an off-color joke save you money? We’ll explain in our section on Teapot Economics. Tea isn’t just a refreshing alternative to sugary drinks; it’s an economical choice, too. After reading this section, you may decide it’s worth investing in a teapot.

The Buzz on Caffeine

New research explains why the caffeine in tea just isn’t as jitter-inducing as the caffeine in coffee.

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.

Triumphing over History

Read about the economic miracle in the East African country whose name was until recently associated with tragedy:  Rwanda, the Land of a Thousand Hills, where the rich volcanic mountain slopes nurture fields of top-quality tea.

Tea in America

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 many health 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.
