Tea Menu

Welcome to the tea menu for A Sip of Mindfulness! I am thrilled to be offering a different loose leaf tea at every group session.

Assam Black Tea

Assam Black tea comes from Assam Valley in India, which is on the border with China, Burma and Bangladesh. This full-bodied tea has a warm reddish color and a strong yet smooth taste. Black tea, called “red tea” in Chinese due to its bold reddish brownish brew, generally yields a bolder flavor and contains the most caffeine of all teas. Black tea is produced from mature leaves that are plucked early in the day and processed in 4 basic steps. First the leaves are withered- laid out for 8-24 hours so that the moisture from the tea leaves can be evaporated. Second they are rolled, which gives the leaves its form and appearance. Following they are fermented by placing them on an oxidation table, where the leaves turn black and lends its distinctive flavor. Finally the leaves are fired in large ovens at high temperatures. – Wing Hop Fung

Black Forest Fruit Tea

A caffeine-free blend of botanical herbs, flowers, fruits and spices. The deep russet brew and tangy flavor comes from hibiscus flowers. Black Forest is made from hibiscus, rose hips, apple bits, black currants, grapes and mint. – Wing Hop Fung

Jasmine Green Tea

Jasmine Green Tea is a select blend of hand-tossed fine green tea leaves and jasmine flowers. This tea captures the aromatic fragrance of jasmine and leaves a delicate taste on one’s palate. – Wing Hop Fung
