Explore new blends with the Volaré 12 Days of Blissful Teas Advent, a pyramid-shaped Advent Calendar of 12 pyramid infusers, each tea hidden behind a numbered door.
A GARDEN IN BLOOM
Tea Forté celebrates its eighth year collaborating with The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) through the Volaré Collection, a series of teas inspired by the whimsy and wonder of a hidden garden. Volaré, which means “to fly,” captures the sense of freedom and imaginative escape. Original watercolors done by a NYBG artist bring vibrant blooms and lush gardens to life, inviting tea lovers into a world that feels familiar yet fantastical. From fragrant florals to bright fruits, each tea blend offers a moment of indulgence, while a portion of each purchase supports NYBG’s crucial work in plant research, conservation, horticulture, and education.
The Volaré teas themselves are a playful exploration of flavor. Orchid Vanilla (black tea) is rich and velvety, softened with hints of smooth, fragrant vanilla. Cherry Blossom (green tea) blends bright, cheerful cherries with floral notes in a tender green tea base. Citrus Mint (herbal tea) refreshes with lively peppermint balanced by zesty lemon. Mango Citron (herbal tea) combines sunny mango and sweet orange with a tang of hibiscus, while the NEW Mystic Açaí (herbal tea) enchants with vibrant tropical fruits layered over citrusy brightness, all in a captivating purple-hued brew occuring naturally from butterfly pea flowers. All blends in this collection are Kosher certified.
