Tea is the perfect meditative drink, and pairing a great cup with the right music completes the experience. We have an ever-changing catalogue of delicious teas that switches with the seasons. If you’re used to sticking to tried-and-true flavors, you may have missed some of our more exciting and unique offerings. Here are a few great flavors to try, and great songs to go along with them.
Tropical Paradise Roobois
Summer is on its way, so have your own little piece of Tropical Paradise! This caffeine-free herbal infusion combines coconut and pineapple flavors in a refreshing blend that will make you feel like you’re sitting underneath swaying palm trees somewhere way south of the border.
Tune: “Guantanamera” by Celia Cruz. Who better than the Grand Dame of tropical music and Queen of Salsa to accompany this drink? If you like your tea extra sweet, Celia always brings plenty of her own azucar (sugar)!
Strawberry Smile
This is a subtle sencha tea that also works great over ice on a warm day. Its light and fruity taste is complemented by floral notes of jasmine and rose petals. A truly sweet treat for your palate that’s sure to elicit an even sweeter smile.
Tune: “Get Happy” by Judy Garland. Chase all your cares away along with Ms. Garland as you enjoy a hot or cold cup of Strawberry Smile. We dare you not to tap your toes when this infectiously giddy song starts up. If your happiness persists for more than 24 hours, don’t call your doctor—just enjoy!
Special Calcutta Chai
What makes this particular chai so special? It packs an extra punch of black pepper that brings its flavor to a whole new level. You haven’t had a truly spicy chai until you’ve tried this special blend, which is also 100% organic.
Tune: “The Inner Light” by The Beatles. Paired together, The Beatles and our Special Calcutta Chai will transport you to India without the nuisance of dealing with the TSA, airfare, or jet lag. It just takes a few bars of twanging sitars to imagine yourself in the streets of India, reflecting over a delicious cup of extra spicy chai.
Earl Grey & Classical Elegance
A tea as sophisticated as Earl Grey deserves music to match. The bergamot-infused black tea has an air of refinement, making it the ideal companion to classical music. Pour yourself a cup and let the timeless compositions of Ludwig van Beethoven or Claude Debussy enhance your experience. Clair de Lune pairs beautifully with the citrusy aroma of this beloved blend.
Chamomile & Acoustic Serenity
Chamomile tea is the essence of relaxation. This naturally caffeine-free herbal blend calls for soft, acoustic melodies that bring a sense of peace. Pair it with Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence“ or Norah Jones’ “Come Away with Me“ for a soothing escape from the hustle of daily life.
Whatever your mood, there’s a perfect pairing waiting to be discovered. So brew your favorite tea, press play on the perfect song, and let the magic unfold—one sip and one note at a time.
