The cool thing about teas is you can have a cup of it any time of day. There's a tea for all moods, situations, and weather.
We're going to keep this more general and high level, there are definitely tea experts out there with way more nitty gritty details.
We'll get there one day, but for now let's keep it simple.
Black Tea: Bold & Grounding
Black tea is fully oxidized, which gives it its deep color and robust flavor.
It's the one most people picture when they think of 'tea,' and it's also the base for many classic tea blends.
- Assam - Strong, malty, and full-bodied. Excellent with milk or for kickstarting your day.
- Ceylon - Bright, lively, and a little citrusy. A great afternoon pick-me-up.
- Earl Grey - Black tea infused with bergamot oil, giving it that distinctive floral-citrus aroma.
- English Breakfast - A classic blend meant for mornings. Hearty, balanced, and smooth.
- Orange Spice - Black tea blended with warming spices and citrus peel. Comfort in a cup really.
- Chai - Spiced black tea, often brewed strong with milk and sweetener for a take on a chai latte.
- Old-Fashioned Birthday Cake - A Piper & Leaf dessert-inspired blend that tastes like a celebration. (It's a black tea base, has caffeine)
Green Tea: Bright & Refreshing
Green tea is only lightly oxidized, which keeps its flavor fresher, lighter, and often a little grassy or floral.
It has caffeine, but usually less than black tea.
- China Green - A straightforward green tea with a clean, slightly nutty flavor.
- Jasmine Green - Scented with jasmine blossoms, offering a delicate floral aroma.
- Raspberry Green - Fruit-forward with a juicy berry note on top of a green base.
- Strawberry Green - Similar in style to the raspberry green, with a sweet berry brightness.
- Matcha - A powdered green tea used in Japanese tea ceremonies. It's whisked into hot water (not steeped) and delivers a vibrant green color and concentrated, earthy flavor.
White Tea: Subtle & Gentle
White tea is the least processed of all teas, made from young leaves and buds.
It's delicate, lightly caffeinated, and has a mild, slightly sweet flavor.
- White Peony - Also called Bai Mudan, this white tea has floral and honey-like notes, perfect for quiet moments.
Herbal Teas: Caffeine-Free Comfort
Technically not 'tea' at all (since they're not from the tea plant), herbal teas are infusions of herbs, fruits, and spices.
They're naturally caffeine-free and come in an endless variety of flavors.
- Elderberry Echinacea Wellness - A soothing immune-support blend.
- Forever Fruit - Tart, juicy, and vibrant. Great iced or hot.
- Golden Hour Tonic - A local(ish) Piper & Leaf blend, grounding with turmeric and warm botanicals.
- Luscious Licorice - Naturally sweet and soothing, with a distinct licorice root flavor. (It's way better than you think & has nothing to do with the candy!)
- Lemon Ginger - Zesty, spicy, and bright. Ideal for digestion or a cold day.
- Orchard Peach - Another Piper & Leaf favorite. Lush & summery.
- Relaxing Tea - A calming herbal mix that's great before bedtime. (Chamomile for the win)
- Rooibos - A South African red tea, naturally caffeine-free with a smooth, earthy sweetness.
- Sweetie Pie Chai - A root & herb tisane with sweet potato from Piper & Leaf. Cozy & caffeine-free.
