Tea Recommendations

Sometimes it is a little difficult to get started. If you are new to tea, which flavor should you choose first? We've created a recommendation for each type of tea below that should get you started in the right direction. Typically non-tea drinkers prefer a fruity tea initially, then begin trying other types that they might like.

If you are brand-new to tea, we recommend our Teavana Starter Set, which contains everything you need to brew your tea along with four of our most popular starter teas. Or choose from one of the recommendations below:

Black teas:
Beginners might start with a fresh black tea, since you likely grew up dipping tea bags of black tea into hot water. Our Earl Grey Creme black tea adds a touch of vanilla and cream to the traditional Earl Grey black tea. But for something a little different, try Darjeeling Vidyaranya black tea, which is known as the 'Champagne of Teas.' For a more fruity taste, try Sour Cherry Serenade Black Tea. It is delicious iced or hot. Shop our Black teas here.

	White teas: Silver Needle Organic White Tea is a favorite and mixes well with other teas. It is exceptionally healthy tea with a pure, subtle taste. For something a little more fruity, try our Imperial Acai Blueberry White Tea. It includes superfoods Blueberry and Acai with a light, fruity taste. If you aren't sure about White teas, start with ToLife White Tea. By combining a little Rooibos and Green tea with the white tea, it provides great health benefits and a delicious taste. And for a relaxing, flowery tea, try our Lavender Dreams White Tea. Particularly perfect before bedtime, it is a relaxing warm tea that you'll appreciate time and again. Shop our White teas here. Green teas: Our popular Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls Organic Green Tea relaxes you with a warm, jasmine aroma and all the health benefits of green tea. For an unflavored and unscented green tea, try Dragonwell Green Tea for a mellow-sweet tea with a nutty undertone. If you prefer fruity teas, don't miss our Fruta Bomba Green Tea. It is a new tea, but already popular with a robust fruity taste and great health benefits. Shop our Green teas here. Oolong Teas: Oolong teas are often picked by dieters to lose weight, but they also have a delicious, flavorful taste. Don't miss our Monkey Picked Oolong Tea. Named because the monks once taught monkeys to climb trees and pick the tea for them, this Oolong is the highest quality Oolong tea available. For something a little more fruity, try our new Utopian Jewel Oolong tea with ripe strawberries and raspberries adding to the flavor. Shop our Oolong teas here. Herbal Teas: Herbal teas are naturally caffeine-free and nutritious. Our Peppermint Herbal tea is also a great digestive aid, so it makes a wonderful after-dinner drink. To help you relax, try our delicious and comforting Swiss Vervaine Melange Herbal Tea. Or pure flavor, go with our Sweet Fruit Garden Herbal Tea. Shop our Herbal teas here. Rooibos Teas: Rooibos teas are fruity delights that new tea drinkers tend to enjoy. They also work iced or hot. Start off with our always popular Rooibos Tropica Tea. Or, if you need an energy burst, choose Ginseng Vitality Rooibos tea. And spicy tea drinkers shouldn't miss our Rooibos Chai Tea for a kick in the tastebuds. Shop our Rooibos teas here. Mate Teas: Mate teas are attractive because they give a natural energy while suppressing appetite. Our MatéVana Herbal tea is always popular and has a nice, nutty taste. But our new Samurai Chai Mate Tea has become very popular as a citrus delight! Shop our Mate teas here.
