Created from any number of herbs and spices, the botanical ingredients are combined to create exciting flavors and aromas in a rainbow of colors.

Yerba Mate is not a true tea, from the camellia sinensis plant, but is an
herbal infusion from an evergreen member of the holly family (Ilex
paraquariensis). It has been consumed by South American natives for
centuries to combat fatigue and reduce stress, and believed it to be
beneficial for a long list of other ailments. While these claims haven't been
proven scientifically, it contains many vitamins and minerals, and its fans
swear by it as a healthier alternative to coffee and tea. Why not try it for
yourself? Yerba Mate is available in a bag of 25 tea bags for $5.50, or 1/2
pound of
loose tea for $8.00.
"Boba" Tea
Most of the time, if you find something chewy in your drink, it's time to get
a new glass. Not this time! Boba tea, or "black pearl" or "bubble" tea,
originated in Taiwan nearly two decades ago, is a frothy mix of tea, milk,
sugar, and fruit syrups, with small marbles of tapioca. Yes, tapioca. The
concoction is with oversized straws, to accommodate the sweet, gummy balls. It's hard to describe, and a bit of a surprise the first time you try it, but it quickly becomes addicting! And it's amazingly easy to make yourself at
home. Our mixes make it easy to create delicious tea lattes in a blender or a
shaker, and the tapioca is as easy to prepare as boiling water. Why, we even
have the jumbo straws! Serve it either hot or cold. Not ready to try the
boba? The latte mixes make wonderful drinks
without the tapioca, too!
Green Tea Latte or Plum Latte mix, single serving packets $1.80
Rainbow Tapioca balls, 2 oz bags (enough for 2-3 bobas) $ .50
5 - 7" Jumbo fat straws $ .50
