Tea Forté is proud to announce the arrival of its latest collaboration with The New York Botanical Garden: The Demoiselle Collection, a soothing assortment of lush, tropical tea blends crafted to evoke the essence of tranquility.
Explore new blends with the Demoiselle 12 Days of Blissful Teas, a pyramid-shaped Advent Calendar of 12 pyramid infusers, each tea hidden behind a numbered door.
A LUSH, TROPICAL ESCAPE
Inspired by the warmth of the sun's radiant rays piercing through a rainforest downpour, the Demoiselle Collection transports you to a realm of tropical tranquility. This seventh-year collaboration features a unique watercolor by a New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) artist, Kristin Arkosy, capturing lush foliage growing in the living garden. Arkosy originally created this begonia watercolor for a tea towel featured in the NYBG shop. Our creative team loved the design and found it perfect for our tranquil and tropical Demoiselle collection.
Celebrating the symbolism of dragonflies and damselflies, which represent transformation, these enchanting blends are curated to entice the senses. Flavors unfurl, from zesty Citrus Earl Grey and grounding Mountain Oolong to succulent Wildflower Honey Citrus, tantalizing Ginger Lemongrass, and — exclusive to the Demoiselle Collection — Tropical Passion Flower with notes of exotic fruits. All blends in this collection are Kosher certified.
TEAS IN THIS COLLECTION
The Demoiselle Petite and Presentation Box offers 10 and 20 tropical teas.
