A miss for me

This is my first disappointment from Rare Tea. With saffron, I guess I was expecting a more robust flavor. This tea is very delicate, and there is barely any saffron in it, so if you are a huge fan of the flavor of saffron, you might be disappointed with this tea. It's quite pricy for not much tea, and I like just about all the other black teas from this company more than this one. That being said, I do taste the toffee and fruitiness of the tea, but it tasted almost like a weak fruit-flavored bagged tea. I tried brewing different amounts for different times. Nothing made it work for me. Thanks anyway. It was fun to try!

LaKyrsiew & Temi Tea Gardens

These elegant hand-crafted teas are grown organically high in the pure air and water of the Eastern Himalayas in the lush green gardens that roll down from the mountains in Sikkim and Meghalaya.

EXQUISITE

Kashmiri Saffron

We collaborate directly with a collective of Saffron farmers in Kashmir to get the most exquisite strands of saffron to blend with these teas.

The teas, being hand-crafted and not industrially produced, retain high levels of natural antioxidants. Saffron too contains antioxidants and has anti- inflammatory properties. It is used to improve memory, enhance mood and alleviate depression and has been taken for many millennia as an aphrodisiac.

Studies suggest that Saffron (like Turmeric) may be effective in the treatment of Alzheimer’s.

Kashmiri Saffron

We are not doctors, or indeed snake oil salesmen - but there are no known negative side effects of drinking tea or saffron. They are absolutely delicious and in their pure forms like this, combine to help us feel good, at the very least from their sublime flavour.
