Direct from the Glenburn Tea Estate in Khongea, Assam, India!

"Chai" is a word meaning "tea" in many parts of the world. In addition, these CTC black tea leaves are called "chai" because they make a popular base to which to add those luscious spices that turn the tea into the deliciously spicy beverage we call "Chai". These CTC leaves of second-flush assam can certainly steep into a thoroughly enjoyable cuppa all on their own ... well, okay, maybe add some sweetener and milk or cream (yes! this tea will stand up to cream!).

Kilauea Forest White Tea - origin: Volcano Village, HawaiiTea growers Chiu Leong and Eva Lee grow this tea in the rainforest of Kilauea Volcano in the shade provided by a canopy of native Ohia trees and Hapu'u ferms. The rich golden infusion has a flavor sweet and floral, comforting as you almost hear the song of the Hawaiian Apapani songbird that helped to nurture the growing tea. Truly an experience like no other.
