This exclusive tea was hand-blended in the USA using India Assam broken tea leaves. Sliced California natural almonds were mixed in and then the blend was scented with toasted almond and vanilla flavors. The natural toasted almond and vanilla flavors are sugar free and contain no preservatives. Uniquely creamy smooth, pleasantly aromatic and flavorful tea blend! One can enjoy it hot without anything added to it. If you prefer, add a dash of almond milk or sweetener for a decidedly different and tasty morning or afternoon cup of tea. This tea comes packaged in a heat sealed foil bag. Steeping Tips: Steepi1. Start with freshly drawn filtered, reverse osmosis, or spring water (best!) 2.
