Tea is the most popular drink in the world. The Camellia Sinenis plant is the plant from which all true tea comes - White, Green, Herbal, and Black. My favorite tea is Rooibos which I consider the 'Tea of the Future'.

Rooibos tea is naturally sweet and decaffeinated and possesses high levels of antioxidants. When brewed, Rooibos has a reddish brown color which is why it's referred to as "red tea". Red tea contains less than half the tannin found in regular tea. The mild flavor of Rooibos has made it a popular component of herbal drinks. These drinks are often blended with chocolate, caramel, ginger, and dried fruits.

The celebration of tea drinking brings people together around food, conversation, and hospitality.

Some health benefits of tea include: boosts immune system, increases metabolism, reduces blood lipids (fats), decreases appetite, and helps stabalize blood sugar.

Did you Know:

• Tea taken without milk or sugar contains no calories or fat
• With milk in your tea and it is a vital source of calcium
• Black tea is great for aiding in digestion and has been used for centuries as a cure for diarrhea.
• Rooibos tea is a naturally rich source of Alpha Beta Hydroxyl which makes this red tea excellent for healthy skin, hair, and nails.
• White tea is higher in polyphenols and antioxidants than green tea which means it expels more free radicals from the body.

Tax and 20% gratuity will be added to your final bill.
