Numi Tea

Jasmine tea is the oldest known scented tea, and ours begins its life in the gardens of Hunan Province. The rich soil and fluctuations in daily temperature yield a fragrant leaf which is further scented with delicate white Jasmine blossoms. During summer, these are gathered daily by the banks of the Min River and repeatedly mated each night with the prepared tea, naturally embracing all of the flowers' scent. When brewed, this smooth, organic green tea has layers of subtle fragrance and hints of moonlight. It is a most romantic tea, and, like a bowl of fresh picked flowers, will bring the joy of summer to your every sip.
Lapsang Souchong is grown in a nature preserve located high in China's beautiful Wu Yi Mountains, whose thick pine forests and heavy mist provide an exceptional environment for growing tea. Traditionally smoked over the embers of White Fir, this evocative honey colored organic tea has a pungent smoky aroma that opens the palate to foods. Like a sip of fine cognac, it awakens and transports the senses, enticing you to savor its depth. Drink in the intensity of Lapsang!
Ages before the birth of humanity, when ice still covered the earth, a family of high-mountain Camellia plants thrived. From these, the tea bush traces its noble lineage.

Our whole leaf Gunpowder tea is gently steamed within hours of being plucked, then skillfully hand rolled into small tight pearls. This process preserves its delicate flavor and aroma far longer than other green teas. Steeped in hot water, the leaves unfurl, releasing a well-rounded full-bodied flavor. Rich in fluoride, calcium, and anti-oxidants and with very little caffeine, this is a perfect choice to greet the evening.
Earl Grey is one of the most popular teas, yet remains mysteriously beckoning. As the story goes, Charles Earl Grey, a 19th century British Prime Minister, was gifted this scented tea in gratitude for the saved life of a Chinese Mandarin. The secret to its lingering aroma is the pear shaped bergamot orange, called the "Fragrant One". Most Earl Greys utilize bergamot oils or flavorings. Numi's special, organic Earl Grey is oil-free, using a unique method of aging premium Italian bergamot fruit with malty Sonitpur Assam black tea. When brewed, it imparts an exquisite red-orange hue that calls to mind dawn's finest moments. Balanced and stunning, we've recreated this timeless classic.
Throughout India, chai stalls are a meeting place for provocative tea and conversation. From its homeland in China, cha has journeyed as chai, thé, and tea, recreating itself in every land.

The peaked, sweet aroma of Turkish anise exhilarates memories. Reminisce in aged tradition with an inspiring cup of Golden Chai.
