Albuquerque's premier tea store for fine loose leaf tea, herbs, and spices

Featured Items

Thumbnail of Blood Orange Rooibos | Organic
Blood Orange Rooibos is our most popular herbal blend. It has many levels of flavor ranging from the citrus orange with a light vanilla undertone, to the malty rich rooibos base.

This is the only rooibos blend that does NOT go well with cream.

Thumbnail of Cream Earl Grey

An exquisite Earl Grey character mellowed with soft hints of cream. If you are fan of Earl Grey and have not tried tried this, you are in for a treat. Cream Earl Grey has a taste that is smooth with vanilla overtones, which stand out above the premium bergamot flavor - the signature taste of Earl Grey.

$2.75/oz - $/lb Cream Earl Grey
Thumbnail of Tie Guan Yin
Tie Guan Yin is sweet and thick with a hint of orchid aftertaste. The look of this brew is a subtle yellowish-green, and the first steeping unfurls the rolled tea leaf to reveal large, juicy green leaves. It tastes much like its aroma: Bright and incredibly fresh, with sweet, mellow grassy undertones. This oolong holds up to a surprising number of re-steepings, rewarding the palette with various incarnations of sweet, smooth, tangy, and lively flavors.
$4.50/oz - $/lb Tie Guan Yin
Thumbnail of Matcha Izu | Organic
Izu Matcha is a fabulous example of a high quality Japanese Matcha grown in the Izu peninsula, not far from Tokyo. The tea has a pale emerald green color and when consumed on its own, frothed up with a whisk, has an almost jammy-smoothness belied by a somewhat sweetly astringent cup. The best thing to do with your matcha is experiment.

Thumbnail of New Mexico Breakfast Blend | Organic
This blend of pure black tea resonates with the waters of the land and says, "Good Morning!" in a cup. Or "Hello Evening! We're going to be working late together," for those days you just need to hustle. Blended specifically to work well with New Mexico tap water, but is also a beautifully blended breakfast tea with any water. Flavor notes are subtle and sweet, and still come through with subsequent steepings. Enjoy with milk and cream or chilled as an iced tea.
Thumbnail of Decaf Vanilla
So much decadence, but without the caffeine! This beautiful brew is smooth and sweet, with a medium body.

Note that using a more leaves per cup is a common approach when brewing decaffeinated teas, as they do brew a little lighter.

$4.50/oz - $/lb Decaf Vanilla

The Brew-in-Mug Extra-fine Tea Infuser with Lid, is complete with an easy grip silicon rimmed stainless-steel lid. The infuser gives you a perfect even brew every time, and enables you to brew fine teas such as Rooibos tea to large whole-leaf teas like Oolong tea.

It fits in American standard mugs. Flip the lid and it works as an infuser holder. With this infuser, brewing your favorite cup of tea is now easier than ever!

Thumbnail of Yunnan Black Snail
A bold-leaf Yunnan varietal with smooth cocoa notes and hints of plum and spice. The dry leaves are tightly rolled into a spiral snail shape, dark in color, with golden tip accents. Named for the twisted shape of the finished leaves - fancifully reminiscent of snail shells. The brew is moderately hearty in a longer infusion or can be reinfused about three times with briefer steeps.
$5.25/oz - $/lb Yunnan Black Snail
