The Tea Detective
Uncovering and Exploring the Facts About Tea
Flavored Teas - What's Your Favorite?
Fruits, flowers, and spices make up the bountiful array of flavors that can be added to a base       
of black, oolong, green or white teas.  Flavored teas are some of the most popular and make a     
wonderfully refreshing or relaxing brew, whether hot or cold.
It's Time to Add a Little Spice to Your Life
There's nothing more soothing than a cup of hot spiced tea to warm you up in the dead of
winter.  Herbs and spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg are just some of the
additions to spiced tea.

                             One of the most popular teas that's sweeping the country, is Chai tea.            
                              Every tea and coffee shop has it's own rendition of what Chai should taste     
                              like, and of course, everyone swears by their own personal formula.  

                             The Masala Chai Tea offered from Silver Leaf Tea is a customer favorite.          
                              It's a combination of ginger root, cinnamon and green cardamom, with            
                              ginger and vanilla flavor.  It's a bold, sweet, and spicy combination that will     
                              warm you from the inside out on a cold winter's day, or just help you to          
                              relax and unwind after a long, hard day in the concrete jungle.  

                             Flavored teas are a tasty, fun way to add your favorite flavors to tea.  I love
the fact that there are so many different flavors and combinations out there just waiting to try.  
The great thing about tea is that you could try a different one every day for a year, and not
even come close to sampling them all.  I love having that kind of variety to choose from.  I hope
you do, too.  Enjoy.
