And the British father-son team behind the family owned and operated Special Tea Company is no different. Born into a world of traditional tea drinkers, their penchant for tea was naturally rooted in their English heritage. But over the years, their passion for world-class, quality teas sparked and grew into a full-fledged business. Where there once was enjoyable taste, there are now an endless variety of flavors. Where there once was a pick-me-up, there are now incredible health benefits. So through in-depth research and development, they sought out the freshest, highest quality tea blends in the world that also help keep you healthy. With all that plus great taste, they’re confident that you too, will simply love their teas. Your favorite whole loose tea leaves are freshly ground, gently sealed in oxygen bleached tea bags and conveniently boxed so every cup is easily brewed and absolutely delicious. FDA approved, oxygen bleached tea bags. These natural bags are chemical-free and sealed for freshness in FDA approved foil packaging to preserve freshness, aroma and potency. Instead of pulling pre-ground, stored tea from a shelf, our teas are ground, bagged and shipped upon receiving your order. Whole loose tea leaves have all their essential oils intact, so the flavor, quality and health benefits are maintained. Most store bought bagged teas contain only inferior leaf fragments and tea dust. Passionate about quality. We want you to enjoy tea as much as we do.
