Tea List & Descriptions
Please see
Cold Beverages Menu for Prices
At
Rico’s, we offer a special selection of traditional and unusual teas and
tisanes (herbal infusions), all brewed from the loose leaf. We purchase them
from importers who buy directly from the gardens and farms or plantations in
which they are produced. Many are grown by organic or biodynamic methods and
many in tea gardens and plantations known to be socially responsible (some
Ethical Tea Society*, some certified Fair Trade*). We take care to brew each at
the optimum temperature and brewing time to bring-out its best flavor.
BLACK TEAS
Full-fermentation imparts
to Black the most robust color, flavors & caffeine content of the tea
categories.
Unless otherwise noted,
brew 3-4 minutes, a teaspoon of leaf to cup freshly boiled, filtered water (203
to 212°).
Organic
Darjeeling Supreme*
The most
sought-after of black teas, Darjeeling is imbued with a rich, complex,
full-bodied character. Ours is pure, unblended from the Muscatel Valley in
India.
Optimal brew time: 2 to 3 minutes.
Organic
Ceylon*
A high-grown Ceylon.
Smooth, elegant, bold and slightly astringent with a rich, amber liquor.
Organic English Breakfast*
The traditional English blend. Bold and robust with
fruity notes and amber
liquor.
Organic Decaf English Breakfast*
A decaffeinated version of
the same traditional
English blend.
FLAVORED BLACK
TEAS
Organic Earl Grey**
Classic, full-bodied
English blend with Bergamot. Traditional with milk & sweetener.
Organic Decaf Earl Grey**
A decaffeinated version of
our Organic Earl Grey.
Organic Black Masala Chai**
Traditional Masala chai
spices (Cinnamon, Cardamom, Ginger, Vanilla) blended with an organic Back
create this very smooth, satisfying cup of the Indian classic. Traditionally
served with milk and sweetener.
Rose Congou
Layering briefly with rose
petals during manufacturing creates tea with this delicate, ethereal rose
character.
Asian Blossom Congou
Light scenting with
Osmanthus flowers creates this
delicate floral tone with a light, tangy-peach note.
Lichee Congou
Delicate scenting with the
sweet, slightly tart Chinese Lychee fruit, creates this refreshing, exotic tea
.
OOLONG TEAS
Partial fermentation makes
Oolong the most varied in flavor of the tea categories. The different
percentages of fermentation
create a range of Oolongs---each leaning toward Green or Black in character.
We brew a teaspoon of
leaf 3 to 5 minutes in a cup of filtered water heated to between 185 and 190°.
Organic
Jade Oolong Supreme
This very fine,
hard-to-obtain, supreme Oolong from Thailand is oxidized 30%, making it closer
to a green
than a black tea in
character. Unusually delicate,
airy and ethereal.
Organic
Nepal Oolong
A fruity aroma and an agreeable aftertaste characterize
this unique Oolong from the Himalayans
of Nepal. Oxidized to around 20%, this is the lightest,
greenest of our oolongs. Very airy and ethereal.
Ti Kwan
Yin
One of China’s most sought-after
teas, this special aromatic oolong comes from the Fujian province of China.
Oxidized 50 and 60%, it has a more robust, roasted flavor than our other
oolongs.
GREEN TEAS
Green Tea is unfermented
(only steamed, dried & pan-fried), creating the fresh, grassy flavor,
lower caffeine & higher
nutrient content than Black.
Except where specified,
we brew a teaspoon of leaf to a cup filtered water heated to 175°.
Jasmine Pearls
Supreme*
A
royal, delicate supreme green tea with a light,
fragrant
taste and aroma of Jasmine flowers.
Brew
3 to 4 minutes.
Organic
Silver Sprouts
Smooth, aromatic and fresh
with low astringency and
a delicately-colored
liquor.
Organic
Ceylon Green
Special
high-grown green tea. Delicate, very light, fresh, and slightly astringent.
Long Island Strawberry Green*
Strawberry and papaya
round-out this exceptionally smooth Hunan-grown, Japan-style Sencha with a
delicious, fresh strawberry
flavor.
WHITE TEAS
Only steamed and sun-dried,
Whites Teas have the highest nutrients and lowest caffeine content as well as
the most delicate flavors
of the tea categories. The most rare and expensive, they are connoisseur teas.
Brewed in filtered water
heated to between 150 and 175°.
Organic Silver
Needles Supreme*
Picked by hand two days a year, these rare Silver Needles from the Fujian
Province are the tender young buds, covered in fine silver-white hairs, from a
special strain of the tea plant. Each pound is comprised of 150,000 hand-picked
buds. Delicate, refreshing, nectar-like brew with fresh aroma and pale yellow
liquor Brew 2 to 5 minutes.
White Pearls
Supreme*
Small, hand
rolled pearls of the same supreme white tea. Once unfurled, the buds are
lustrous, soft and
silvery. A
mellow, delicate flavor with a slight sweetness and a pale golden liquor. Brew
2 to 3 mins.
Organic Pai-Mu-Tan
This white tea is a
combination of buds and one or two of the surrounding tender young leaves that
are harvested in the Spring. Mild, yet bolder than Silver Needles or White Pearls,
it has a floral or honey aroma and a fresh, slightly sweet and mellow taste.
Short brew time (as little as 40 seconds).
TISANES
(Herbal)
Also known as Herbal Teas
or Infusions, Tisanes are not true teas as they are not derived from the tea
plant. They
come from a wide variety of
different plants chosen for their health-giving properties and your drinking
pleasure.
Brew to taste at least 4
minutes a teaspoon of leaf to a cup freshly boiled, filtered water (203 to
212°).
Herbal Blends
Inspiration Tisane
Peppermint with rose hips
and petals create this lovely balance of minty and floral tones.
Africana
Tisane
This
much-loved Red Rooibos blend is rounded out with Blue Mallow, Cornflowers and
Vanilla for a rich, smooth, well-balanced cup.

lavender. Organic Red Rooibos, Lavender, Rose Hips and Petals, Currants, and
Elderberries.

Single Herbs
Organic Red
Rooibos
Indigenous
to South Africa, Rooibos has been used for centuries as a tasty beverage as
well as for medicinal purposes. It is a rich natural source of antioxidants,
flavonoids and other nutrients. Red Rooibos is slightly fermented after picking
and dried in South-African sun. Brews to deep, reddish color with rich, earthy
flavor.
Organic Green Rooibos
From the same plant as Red,
Green Rooibos is sun-dried without fermentation, leaving it with even higher
levels of health-giving substances. Brews to light green with fresh, grassy
taste. Used widely in Africa as a nerve calmer, to reduce stress and insomnia,
and to soothe colicky infants.
Organic Lemon Myrtle
Leaf of Autralian
rainforest shrub with fresh, vibrant lemon-lime flavor. World’s richest known natural source of citral,
which is non-acidic, anti-microbial/anti-fungal, and anti-oxidant with possible
immune-stimulating benefits.
Organic Chamomile
The classic soothing
Western herb with a fresh taste and aroma that fills the summer air in many
country places. Usually taken in evening or before bedtime.
Organic Green Mate**
Mate contains mateine, an
energizing substance similar to caffeine. Characterized by sharp, mature taste,
balanced with sweet and bitter tones. Indigenous to South America.
