Herb, Fruit & Rooibos	-	After a long, stressful day, an herbal tea is sure to delight. Because most contain little or no caffeine, herbals or tisanes are also ideal for those who wish to limit their caffeine intake or want to unwind with a less stimulating cup in the evening. Fruit-flavored teas offer a variation from traditional teas. All teas in this category have a standard black tea base that is then accented with the addition of fruit pieces, natural flavor oils, or flower blossoms. The result is a beverage that is enjoyable hot or iced.
Decaffeinated Teas	-	Decaffeinated teas are ideal for those who want a relaxing drink without the kick of caffeine. The addition of flavorings to decaffeinated teas provide those who want to limit their caffeine intake with interesting alternatives.
White Teas	-	The rarest of all teas, hand-plucked white tea takes on a subtle yet complex flavor from elegant leaves and silver buds. White teas undergo the least processing of any of type of tea; young leaves are dried to remove all moisture but preserve the delicate young leaves. Lighter in body than greens, a white tea yields a refined infusion that is naturally sweet.
