Every tea hour must become a masterpiece To serve as a distillation of all tea hours
As if it were the first and with no other to follow. The act of drinking tea must be attended by beauty.

Peach Passion Fruit
Peach passion fruit was the first flavor that we blended.
The inspiration came from a scone we served at our restaurant, "The Enchanted Tea Garden".
It was a peach scone with passion fruit frosting. When paired with the tea and served hot with sugar and a little milk this was a truly delightful experience!
This tea is also delicious iced when served on a hot summer dayin a garden somewhere exotic and luxurious, if only in your imagination….
Truly enchanting!

Orange Cream Currant
This is the second tea that we blended.
Again we drew our inspiration from our scones a delicious blend of oranges and cream with a touch of black currant.
Served hot, it tastes like a warm cream cycle when served with just a little sugar and milk.
Iced in the summer it will remind you of a sunny day on a Southern California beach.

"Take some more tea, the March Hare said to Alice very earnestly".
"I've had nothing yet." Alice replied in an offended tone,
"so I can take more." "You mean you can
take less," said the Hatter,
"it's very easy to take more than nothing."
Lewis Carroll,
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland |
Strawberries and Cream
Strawberries and Cream came next and yes we served that scone as well.
Our customers could taste that we were on to something, they simply loved it! Absolutely delightful!
Summer time, served hot or in a tall cold glass, the smell and flavor of this tea makes it one of my favorites.
Like fresh strawberries it recalls summer's warm breeze just when you need it the most, on cold winter days. ;

May your thoughts be as glad as shamrocks.
May your heart be as light as a song.

Irish Breakfast
Our Irish tea inspired our business from day one.
This is the tea that I drank with my grandmother in the kitchen of her little log cabin on the Cedar River.
With her Irish Brogue she would tell stories of her childhood while serving me and my sister tea with milk and sugar and homemade pie.
I can still remember the smell of my grandmothers cooking and the wonderful warm feeling of love that seemed to come right out of the cup.

"The tea hour is the hour of peace..
Strife is lost in the hissing of the kettle a tranquilizing sound,
Second only to the purring of a cat." - Agnes Repplier, To Think of Tea! |
Vanilla
This tea is a delightful blend of our Irish Breakfast and Vanilla.
The smell of freshly baked short bread cookies comes to mind while sipping this tea.
There is something very calming and soothing about the smell and taste of vanilla.
All your stress will disappear and you will be transformed to a quiet place far, far away.
This is a classic!

Huckleberry
Memories of finding these berries in the woods around Grandma’s house in the summer time are among my fondest.

We are pleased to bring the flavor of these wild berries to you in a delightful cup of tea!
This tea is one of our favorites served over iced!
You’ll feel like your sitting on the banks of a North West stream in August!

Ambrosia
What a fun and wonderful flavor this was to create.
Taking our inspiration from the dessert of the same name, this is a tea of many flavors.
Coconut, orange, apricot and almond are a delightful and yummy combination.
The smell of toasted coconut sets this one apart from the rest!
The very tropical and romantic flavor of this tea makes one long for a tropical voyage!
Truly enchanting!
