TEA

We offer a very wide variety of teas, including red teas, herbal teas, white teas, green teas, black teas and even a few fusion teas.Red TeasTechnically not a tea, but a tisane, red tea is made from a South African herb called rooibos (pronounced ROY bus). Red tea is insanely high in antioxidants, making it very healthy, and it's naturally caffeine-free. We carry several of Republic of Tea's Be Well line of red teas, which each target a specific area of healthiness:Get Clean for detoxingGet Gorgeous for clear skinGet Soothed for sore throats*Get Some Zzzz's for sleepinessGet Charged for energyGet Lost for weight lossRepublic Red Chai a caffeine-free chai made with rooibosHerbal TeasHerbal teas, also called tisanes, are not actually made from the tea plant. They are blends of herbs, prepared as teas. For the most part, they are naturally caffeine-free, and generally very healthy. We have several herbal teas made by Republic of Tea, and several by Stash:Ginseng PeppermintOrange Ginger Mint*ChamomileBlueberryWild RaspberryApple CinnamonOrange StarfruitMango PassionfruitOrganic Mint FieldsOrganic Temple of HealthOrganic Flowering FruitYerba Mate Latte (Caffeinated) White TeasWhite tea is made from unfermented tea leaves picked at the very beginning of the tea harvest. It has a very delicate, subtle flavor, and should only steep for about forty-five seconds. They have very little caffeine, and loads of antioxidants.Emperor's White Tea*Vanilla CoconutPineapple GuavaHoneydew Melon Green TeasLike white tea, green tea is made from unfermented tea leaves, but green tea is picked later in the season. It is well-known for its health properties, including detoxification and antioxidants. It's slightly higher in caffeine than white tea, but doesn't have as much as black tea.People's Green TeaAcaiPomegranateGoji RaspberryAcerola CherryApple Blossom*Ginger PeachHoney ginseng Pink Lemonade*BlueberryMoroccan MintJasmine BlossomOrganic Lemon GingerOrganic Premium Green TeaWild Berry Plum Decaf Black TeasBlack tea is made from fermented tea leaves.

Coffee Cartel offers you the finest coffee from only the best roasters and growers. We proudly carry Chauvin coffee and espresso beans roasted fresh twice a week to ensure only the best for our customers. Chauvin coffee company utilizes their vast experience coupled with state of the art technology to give you the highest quality of coffee -- quality you deserve. Our coffees are described by their unique characteristics of acidity, body, aroma, finish and flavor: Acidity is the sharpness, almost a dryness, like some white wines. Body is the heaviness or richness. body can be compared to the characteristics of certain red wines. Aroma is the fragrance, an important quality, since you smell the aroma before you actually taste the coffee. Aroma can range from acidic or sharp, through spicy and sweet, to earthy or musty or smoky. Finish is the aftertaste coffee leaves in your mouth. Finish can be sweet and pleasant, bitter or, if the coffee is extremely light, it may have no aftertaste. Espresso should have a finish that lingers after the drink has been consumed. Flavor, the taste, the most difficult characteristic to describe, because it will vary with each individual. Since coffee will take on the characteristics of the soil in which it is grown, it will hint of other plants, fruits or spices grown in the same region, such as chocolate, vanilla and others. Flavor will greatly distinguish one origin from another.Coffee Cartel House LightA slightly dark blend of Mexican and south American coffees roasted to perfection sure to please!Coffee Cartel House DarkA dark roasted blend of central and South American coffees, slightly oily and perfect in the cup and on your palate!
