The health benefits of black teas are often overshadowed by those of their green counterparts. This stands to reason since much of the original information about teas and health came to us through Chinese research institutes, and China is a nation of green tea drinkers.
Luckily for us, recent studies done on black teas are very encouraging to those of us interested in our heart and cardiovascular health. It seems the theaflavins and thearubigens found in black teas have favorable effects on the cardiovascular system. Reduced risk of stroke and heart attack are two of the most commonly sited health benefits of black teas.
Heavenly
This was the first Tea Forte blend I ever tasted and it remains my favorite. Though the smell is cloyingly sweet, the taste is smooth with hints of the vanilla and coconut. Even when I let the loose leaf sit in my press pot for quite awhile it never becomes bitter or overwhelmingly strong. Just a lovely everyday tea.

It's Heaven in a Cup!
Simply the best beverage I've ever had in my life. It's like a liquid form of a sugar cookie.

Best tea I ever had!
I just sampled this tea at a fundraiser I attended. I couldn't get enough! It's just a beautiful scent and flavor. I will be buying this for myself! It was also my first sample of Tea forte. Extremely good first taste!

The best Vanilla tea EVER!
I am a huge vanilla tea fan but no other vanilla comes close to this tea. It is really delicious.

The caffeine level in a cup of tea can vary by tea type, steeping practices and even the particular tea harvest. We use the following designations as guidelines for the caffeine levels of our teas:
Robust, high caffeine teas; 50-100mg
Lower caffeine teas with shorter steeping times; 30-50mg
Tea/herbal blends with less than 30mg
Decaf tea retains a tiny amount of caffeine
Herbal teas are 100% caffeine free
These steeping guidelines produce the best results for our palates. Use them as a guideline, but you may certainly experiment and find the best results for yours.
