Ever wondered why you can get a single origin coffee in most high street cafes these days, and yet when it comes to tea you are offered just a cheap tea bag?

As we brace for warmer temperatures this summer, refreshing iced tea and cold brews can help you cool down and keep hydrated.

Hibiscus (also known as Agua de Jamaica) is an infusion of dried hibiscus flowers. It makes a super refreshing, slightly tart berry-like infusion. It is also loaded with vitamin C, can help with digestion, and even help lower blood pressure.  

Need an excuse to sit down with friends or family over a nice cup of tea and a teatime treat? Chamomile cake offers you just that excuse and it's super easy to make. The cake is delicious with any tea, but pairs especially well with our Darjeeling our Shangri- La Oolong. 

Andrew Gardner is potentially the best planter and tea maker in all of Nepal.  Every tea plant Andrew touches seems to turn to gold which is why we're so excited to have a small batch of his oolong teas from Siddha Devi for Karma Tea customers.

Water is often taken for granted and overlooked, especially when it comes to tea. A cup of tea is 99% water, and water plays just as important role in the end result as the tea leaves themselves. The quality of water used when making a cup of tea will have a big impact on the taste.
