Be Mine Chocolate Strawberry Herbal Tea - Loose Leaf

Inspiration comes from anywhere - including a centuries-old nursery rhyme. One day, while perusing a magazine while jetting across the Pacific at 30,000 feet, our Master Blender read the following:

Curly locks! Curly locks! Wilt thou be mine?
Thou shall't not wash dishes, nor yet feed the swine,
But sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam,
And feed upon strawberries, sugar and cream!

Those lines of course, are from "Curly Locks" by American poet James Whitcomb Riley. After reading them, our Master Taster's mind immediately filled with visions of summer strawberries fresh from the market. Now, had he not been en route to source cocoa beans, his vision may have stopped there. However, in amongst the berries drifting through his imagination, he also began to see chocolate and cocoa intertwined with the luscious fruit.

Upon his return to our tasting room, he immediately got to work crafting the tea he'd concocted in his mind. The resulting blend was Be Mine Chocolate Strawberry. A sumptuous mélange of dried fruits, flowers and natural flavors, Be Mine is the perfect cup to enjoy while wiling away an afternoon sitting on cushions.sewing. (If you're into that sort of thing.) Enjoy.

How to Make Tea

Caffeine content: None - Caffeine Free Herb & Fruit Tea

Antioxidant Content: Low. The longer you steep your tea the more polyphenols will be extracted. (Test results based on 5 minutes steeping time. Polyphenol percentages may fluctuate with lot, grade of tea, testing method, temperature of water and freshness of tea). More antioxidants are extracted from tea (L. Camellia Sinesis) the longer it is brewed. And the more tea is used, the greater the antioxidant benefit.
