20. Ginger Peach Black Tea
Peach and ginger are a winning combination in this fruit-forward, slightly spicy blend. This smooth black tea is bright and flavorful, and also makes an excellent iced tea.
19. Vanilla Rooibos Herbal Tea
We sometimes call this our "bourbon tea"—it has all the warming goodness of a glass of bourbon, but without any of the alcohol. A simple blend of South African rooibos and vanilla flavoring, this delicious and decadent tea is great on its own or with a splash of milk and sweetener, and makes a perfect after-dinner cup.
18. Sing Your Song Herbal Tea
One of Santa Fe's local opera singers began drinking this tea to help keep her voice in perfect condition, so we've named the blend "Sing Your Song" in her honor. Warming and nourishing, this blend is great for soothing scratchy throats.
17. Cota Navajo Tea
Cota or Navajo tea, also known as greenthread, Hopi tea, or Zuni tea, is a medicinal herbal tea native to parts of the Southwest. Our cota is wild-harvested here in New Mexico. Used by indigenous peoples for centuries, this tea has a mild, earthy flavor. This was our second year sourcing this tea from a local grower, and its popularity continues to grow!
16. Vanilla Velvet Black Tea
Our 16th most popular tea this year, Vanilla Velvet is full bodied and has a natural sweetness. Rich vanilla and a hint of floral jasmine gives this tea its depth of character. Vanilla Velvet is delicious on its own or with a splash of milk.
15. Earl Grey Francais Black Tea
If you love the taste of bergamot, you're sure to enjoy this tea. Flavored with bergamot oil from France, this tea is a bolder, more aromatic version of the traditional Earl Grey, with citrusy, sweet, and slightly spicy notes.
14. Daily Darjeeling Black Tea
Our second flush organic Darjeeling black tea has a medium body and a fresh, slightly nutty flavor. Daily Darjeeling features black tea leaves with green and gold highlights, and brews up into a beautiful pale amber color.

13. Earl Grey Black Tea
Another classic tea blend, our Earl Grey blends premium black tea leaves with oil of bergamot sourced from Italy. This tea has a citrusy, slightly floral flavor and a full body with a smooth finish. Earl Grey is refreshing hot or iced, or even prepared as a London Fog Latte!
12. Chimayo Chai Black Tea
Chimayo Chai is our homage to northern New Mexico. Chile is part of the culture here, and Chimayo Chai honors that tradition by including just enough crushed red chile flakes in our chai tea to add the right amount of heat! Enjoy it in the classic way as a sweet, milky chai—or, if you’re brave, try it straight for a fiery cup.
11. Lavender Mint Herbal Tea
One of our most popular herbal teas, Lavender Mint is a simple but satisfying herbal blend. Calming lavender blossoms complement cooling peppermint for a fresh, lightly floral cup that tastes great hot and makes a superb iced tea.
10. Assam Black Tea
Assam is a bold, hearty black tea sourced from the Assam region of India. We often recommend this tea to customers looking to switch from coffee, or for those looking for a robust breakfast tea to start their day. Delicious on its own, it's also strong enough to stand up to milk and sweetener.
9. Irish Breakfast Black Tea
Our organic Irish Breakfast makes a rich cup of tea that’s sure to get you going in the morning. This stout, robust blend of Assam, Ceylon, and Tanzanian teas creates a full-bodied, malty tea that pairs well with milk and sugar. A good strong cuppa!
