A guilt-free way to celebrate with low sugar. With notes of crisp green apple, fragrant fall pear and a ripe melon finish, these flavors do a delicious dance on your palate.
This mixer tastes like blackberries and is complemented perfectly by the soft sage. It is refreshing yet also brooding.
Earl Grey is a black tea flavored with bergamot, a pear-shaped Mediterranean citrus fruit about the size of an orange. Made with naturally decaffeinated black teas using a completely natural European process that removes 99.5% of the caffeine but retains all the flavor, color and aroma of the tea.
Unlike a classic, California orange, this smaller, pebbly skinned cousin has a much sweeter flavor profile. Because mandarins–either dried or fresh–are marked less by acid and more by natural sugars.
