Inspiration: Gambian Wonjo | Hibiscus • Apple • Spearmint • Vanilla flavoring • Strawberry flavoring • Caffeine-free Wonjo - the fruity, minty, hibiscus drink from Gambia - inspired this refreshing tea blend, which we recommend you sweeten and sip over ice. The tartness of hibiscus is soothed by a cool spearmint and enlivened by sweet pineapple. With soft notes of strawberry and vanilla to round it out, Stay Fresh is the caffeine-free blend should be your go-to drink for the Summer.   Historical and Cultural Context: Wonjo is made from the flower of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), a hibiscus native to West Africa; it is usually served cold and is consumed both during daily life and on special occasions. While called wonjo in Gambia (the local name for the plant it is made from), it is also known as sobolo, bissap, zobo, and karkadé in other parts of Africa. The plant is used in many foods and drinks and also has medicinal uses. It was introduced to Brazil by enslaved Africans in the 1600s and spread throughout Latin America in aguas frescas such as "agua de Jamaica". Hibiscus tea earned a prominent position in American soul food, where it is one of the beverages known as "red drink". Variations of the drink are also consumed in Italy and Southeast Asia. Ingredients: Hibiscus, Apple, Spearmint, Vanilla flavoring, Strawberry flavoring Caffeine-free

Kenyan Orthodox Black Tea | Malty richness • Natural cocoa undertones • Caffeine   Black Is Beautiful is rooted in the communal tea culture of Kenya, where strongly brewed tea is part of everyday life and shared as a sign of welcome and respect.   This single-origin orthodox black tea boasts natural cocoa undertones, warm malt depth, and can be enjoyed hot with milk, a sweetener of your choice, and a friend to drink it with.   Historical and Cultural Context: Tea has been cultivated in Kenya since 1903, and Kenya ranks third in the world in tea production. Most tea produced in the country is black tea – Kenya exports more black tea than any other country. Kenya's climate, coupled with the extraordinarily fertile soil of the Great Rift Valley, make the region ideal for tea production. Over half of Kenya's tea is grown on small farms.   Ingredients:100% orthodox Kenyan black teaContains caffeine. Single-origin. All natural.
