Pure Cane Sugar

Raw sugar comes from evaporated cane juice and does not go through the same chemical process as your regular table sugar, hence it is less processed. Because not all of the molasses is removed during the processing, raw sugar tends to have a richer flavor than white table sugar. It is a known fact that molasses contains vitamins and minerals and can be included as part of a healthy diet, but remember that with sugar "moderation" is always advised.

Dried Peaches

Dried peaches are not only delicious but also full of fiber, vitamins A, B, C and K, and minerals such as iron, copper, magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus. They have a good Potassium to Sodium ratio which helps prevent high blood pressure. Dried peaches are rich in orange-red-pigmented beta-carotene necessary to maintain eye and skin health.

The Arnold Palmer

The "Arnold Palmer" is a very reviving and refreshing drink. As it's name indicates, this famous combination of half iced tea and half lemonade was named after the legendary golfer Arnold Palmer who was known to always order this reviving beverage after a long golf tournament to help him regain his energy. This, in turn, has inspired our "Black & Yellow Tea".

Tahitian Vanilla

Tahitian Vanilla is the flavor of Paradise! Unlike other species, Tahitian vanilla must be picked at maturity, it must ripen on the vine before being harvested, and does not go through the scolding process known as "killing" that other vanilla beans go through. The labor-intensive cultivation of this most prised species takes up to nine months. Each vanilla bean flower which is pollinated by hand produces only one fruit (bean) which makes it all the more special
