White Orchid Tea Set

This elegant set has a delicate, sculpted orchid adorning the teapot and the cups. Due to the delicate nature of the design, each mold can only be used to make 30 teapots before it is retired. Each individual petal is cast separately and then applied by hand to create the orchid. The handle on the teacup is an extension of the stem. Shop White Orchid Tea Set

Matcha is made from green tea leaves that are grown under shade and then delicately ground into a silky, smooth chartreuse powder.  In Japan, Matcha is an integral part of The Japanese Tea Ceremony, a cultural ritual, often practiced several times daily. The ceremony is a spiritual experience that embodies harmony, respect, purity & tranquility.  There are many ways to enjoy the benefits of Matcha in our everyday diets–from Matcha lattes to adding it to your morning smoothie or sprinkling it over yogurt or oatmeal. With naturally occuring vitamins A and C, potassium and iron, nutrients and fiber, this is a healthy alternative to a morning cup of coffee.

(makes 2 servings)

Ingredients:
4 tsp Blueberry Bliss Rooibos Tea
4 tsp Strawberry Lemonade Herbal Tea
6 oz White rum
1 oz German Rock Sugar (simple syrup recipe below)
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
Club soda
Lime, freshly squeezed
Fresh mint leaves
Fresh strawberries, thinly sliced, for garnish.

Combine teas with 6oz white rum & steep to desired strength (but for at least 8 minutes). Add blueberries, simple syrup, fresh mint leaves, & lime juice. Muddle. Add 2oz tea infusion & crushed ice. Top off with club soda. Garnish with lime, mint & strawberry slice.

How to: German Rock Sugar Simple Syrup

This recipe calls for a simple syrup made with our German Rock Sugar. Here’s how to make it:

Teavana has several delicious iced teas from traditional to fruity to decadent. When you’re planning a Spring tea time with friends, consider choosing one of these delightful concoctions:

Most popular: Youthberry and Wild Orange Blossom. This combination is one of our store samples, so stop in any Teavana store to taste it. The combination explodes with flavor when you add a touch of our rock sugar or honey. It’s a perfect Spring iced tea.

Traditional Southern Tea: To feel like you’re strolling through the Spanish moss in Savannah or the Riverwalk in New Orleans, choose a traditional black tea with a bit of sugar. We recommend Himalayan Splendor black tea, which comes from the high peaks in Nepal. It sounds like the furthest you can get from Southern springtime, until you take a sip of this delight.

Unique (and flavorful): Green teas tend to stay in the ‘hot tea’ category unless you add mint. But you can get a delightful cup with more than just mint. Try our Blackberry Mojito green tea over ice for a surprisingly good sweet tea. It might make your list of reasons to look forward to Spring.

Super. And Superfoody. Peach teas are always a Spring delight, but what happens when you mix in blueberries as well? The combination of Blueberry Bliss Rooibos tea and Rooibos Peach Bloom is too good to forget. Use a bit more peach to overcome the flavor of blueberries, but these two combine to make a delightful tea that you’ll drink over and over.

Forever fruit. Spring doesn’t really start until you’ve had your first glass of lemonade, preferably with some strawberries mottled at the bottom. That flavor is captured perfectly in our Strawberry Lemonade tea that comes alive with a touch of sugar. It’s easier to make than the original and, frankly, a better choice. Don’t get through Spring without it.

Hopefully these drink concoctions have your mouth watering and your mind churning with other ideas. Teavana has a full selection of delicious teas that you can mix and match until you find the perfect Spring tea for your palate. Let us know your favorites in the comments!

PS – To make an iced tea we recommend doubling the amount of tea used and then pouring the steeped tea over ice. If you’re steeping a herbal tea (herbal, Mate or Rooibos) you should also double the steep time. Everything else is made just the same.
