Artisan Quality Pure Leaf Teas Fresh Herbal Blend USDA Brews 50 Cups Certified by QAI Origin Blend Hibiscus - Comprising a large genus of about 200-220 species of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae, Hibiscus is native to warm temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. It is the state flower of Hawaii and the national flower of Malaysia. Depending on the variety, Hibiscus flowers are large, conspicuous, trumpet-shaped, with five petals, ranging from white to pink, red, purple or yellow, and from 4-15 cm broad size. Ginger - Although called a root, Ginger is actually the rhizome (horizontal stem of a plant that often sends out roots) of the plant Zingiber officinale. We use dried ginger with mildly spicy flavor undertones to balance the sweet lushness of Hibiscus in this blend. Ginger is known to be a good remedy for digestive problems. Handblended - To provide consistency in flavor, we hand blend in small batches. Flavor Profile - Strong, sweet and slightly tart tea. Ideal as an iced tea in summer. Fun Ideas - A treat for children of all ages, infused Hibiscus Ginger can be used to make iced popsicles or as a flavorful ingredient in various desserts and snacks. The Tao of Tea - Like the Tao, the art of tea is universal. We began our work with tea in 1997 to be a connecting thread for tea culture. Practicing the art on a daily basis in our teahouses in Portland, Oregon, we are a group of tea enthusiasts from different backgrounds and cultures. We travel, learn, take delight and seek to offer pure leaf teas with great flavor, artistry and soul. Our reward comes through actions that help people's lives, sustain the art of tea and promise a healthy environment.
