Our Teas

OUR TEAS 

 

Loose Leaf Teas:

  • Black Teas, Rooibos (African Red), White, Green, Oolong, Fruit and others are all available, including multiple decafs.  We have over 15 different selections at any given time.  We take careful steps to ensure that your steep time and temperatures are correct and well attended to for each individual tea.  Whether it is our White Peony that steeps at 170 degrees for 3 1/2 minutes, or if it is our wonderful Gingersnap Cookie Rooibos that steeps at a boiling 212 degrees for five minutes, you can rest assured that the benefits and flavor of your tea is not compromised in the slightest.  It is important to your beverage enjoyment, therefore it is equally important to our preparation routine.  When you are served a cup of tea, we use a timer to ensure your steep is ideal. 
  • White and Green teas are considered to have a long list of benefits that aid with treating ailments such as arthritis and many more.  However, if steeped incorrectly, these benefits can all be sacrificed.  White or green teas steeped at a temperature over 175 degrees may taste similar, but do not carry the same benefits that a properly steeped tea will.  Water temperature over 175 degrees literally kills the beneficial enzymes that are present in the green and white teas.  Be careful at home to use a liquid thermometer and ensure that your water is not too hot for the tea you are making when you place your tea in the cup.  If you are ever curious, just call us.  We may be able to give you the steep time and temperature based on the tea you are enjoying.  If you do call, please have the type of tea leaf ready, that is the first question we will ask you.

  • Our Current Tea Selections  (Subject to change)

    BLACK TEAS:

    • Ginger Peach-Without question, this is our favorite black tea.  The flavor and aroma of this one stands as THE reason that this tea tops our TEA page.  The guest that is undecided will certainly be suggested to try this magical tea.  A hearty blend of organic honeybush, dried peaches and lusty spices create a marvelous tea any time of day.  Blanket and spring meadow not supplied, but are both certainly present with each wonderful sip.  Don't worry, we have a bulk discount program for our tea customers.
    • Ceylon Orange Pekoe - Honey Chocolate notes make this extremely aromatic tea a wonderful afternoon treat, although it is enjoyable at any time of day.  The long, wiry, brown leaves produce an incredibly balanced infusion.  It is perfect for those who enjoy a robust, flavorful cup.  This tea is also our house ICED TEA.  When you visit Howelling Coffee and order an iced tea, you will receive a freshly brewed Ceylon with an offer for a fresh slice of lemon.
    • Afternoon Apricot-A fine blend of Darjeeling and organic osmanthus flowers that create an aromatic, sweet and delicate cup with a wonderful fruity aroma.  Excellent alone or with a splash of fresh milk.

    • Vanilla Chai Spice- Black tea, cinnamon, peppercorn, cardamom, ginger, cloves, star anise and natural vanilla make this a splendid afternoon treat either with or without fresh milk.

     

    • Darjeeling-Treasured by tea lovers all over the world, this is a lively, aromatic and flavorful tea.  Darjeeling is a black tea, grown at elevation in Northern India.  The air that this tea breathes during its lifetime is much thinner at elevation.  Less exposure to smog and other pollutants have kept this tea at the top of everyone's list.  One taste and you will understand, enjoy.

    • Jasmine- This tea has a way of taking any day, no matter what the weather or temperature and transforming it into a sunny summer day.  When you need a break, Jasmine provides it.

    ROOIBOS (African RED):

    • Carrot Cake (*Allergen Notice, contains nuts)-Carrot bits, cinnamon and walnuts blended together to create a wonderful spicy treat.  This tea is naturally caffeine free and is enjoyable hot or cold.  A splash of fresh milk or standing alone, it is magical.

    FRUIT TEAS:

    • Strawberry Kiwi-Wow, what can we say about this one?  A wonderful blend of pronounced flavors that is a hands-down favorite of the founder of Howelling Coffee.  After a long hard day and a good meal, this tea is dessert in itself.  It's a perfect balance of refreshment and sweet flavor that leaves nothing on the table.  It is very likely that after enjoying a cup of this tea, you will walk out with a tin for your home enjoyment every night.

    • Chamomile-Well known for its calming affects on the nervous system and a staple in the cupboard of any herbal enthusiast.  This tea leaves nothing on the table.  Its mild, slightly fruity body gets the evening started or ended on the right note.  Natrually Caffeine Free.
    • Cool Mint-Peppermint and Spearmint dance together with hints of lemon and rose to create a truly remarkable event for the taste buds.  Sweet and minty all at once, enjoy this tea when you are looking for big flavor with a light body.  Naturally Caffeine Free, but for those not familiar, remember that Peppermint is a stimulant (similar to Caffeine).  This and all other mint teas are best when sleep is not on the immediate horizon.

    OOLONG:

    • Formosa-Another standard that will not disappoint.  The high notes of this wonderful tea tickle the sides of the tongue with a splendor that is difficult to duplicate with any other.  Oolong is a black tea that is still slightly green as it is not completely oxidized.
