Fruit Green Tea
Signature Tastes

Ceylon Orange Pekoe
A lovely tea to look at, this green tea is blended with walnut halves and almond slices, which afford it the warm flavors initially discovered, only then to surprise one with the sweet tropical fruit notes in its finish. This tea is nicely coupled with either white or brown sugar, and is sure to convey tranquility into even the most unlikely of circumstances.
