For thousands of years, tea has been steeped in tradition and ritual. But it’s no longer your grandma’s high tea – one-note tea bags poured quietly in a dark drawing room. Tea is having its moment. Hot, sun-brewed, iced, sweet or enjoyed as is, this antioxidant powerhouse has evolved into an indulgent self-care moment designed to be savored.
This Mother’s Day, The Spice and Tea Exchange is offering teas that energize, soothe and feel like a warm hug in a mug. The Spice & Tea Exchange is a purveyor of hand-blended artisanal teas, sustainably sourced from the world’s finest growers, as well as infused sugars, honey, tea and gift sets, candles and more.
In addition to their core offerings, St. Augustine-based Spice and Tea Exchange features four new and one returning seasonal teas and sugars that are Not Your Grandma’s High Tea, each thoughtfully designed to express the true flavor of the featured tea leaves and botanicals:
- Dragon Fruit Fusion Herbal Tea: This vibrant herbal blend combines the exotic flavors of pink dragon fruit, hibiscus and pineapple with accents of citrus, berry and apple. Refreshing and fruity.
- Wild Berry Black-White Tea: The robust and assertive qualities of black tea are calmed by the delicate, soft nuances of white tea leaves and married with deep cranberry, elderberry and blueberry. Accented by rosehip, hibiscus and amaranth. Rich and juicy.
- ROYGBIV Green Tea: A colorful blend featuring a base of jasmine green tea scattered with butterfly pea flowers, hibiscus, rose and chamomile blooms and scented with orange, lemongrass, apple and strawberry. A sweet and zesty tropical punch that brews anywhere from fuchsia to violet.
- Dragon Fruit Sugar: Fine sugar crystals are infused with exotic dragon fruit, producing a sweet and vibrant creation, perfect for pairing with fruit teas, rimming cocktail glasses and sprinkling on baked goods.
- ROYGBIV Sugar: Inspired by ROYGBIV Tea, pineapple, passion fruit, orange, apple and jasmine are blended with sugar and ube powder to create a stunning violet-hued sweetener. Use it to sweeten green teas, infuse liquors and cocktails and create a wow factor worthy of your IG feed.
