Our Current Favorites

  • loose leaf snowflake tea next to a brewed cup with besteas logo "tea of the year" Snowflake tea, loose leaf and brewed.

    SnowFlake
    Black Tea

    Meet SnowFlake, our almond and coconut black tea that smells like a cozy bakery in a cup. Bright, fragrant almond and a soft coconut sweetness sit on a smooth, full-bodied black tea base, with gentle notes of cinnamon and vanilla-like warmth that round out each sip. It feels indulgent without being cloying, the kind of blend you reach for when you want a little comfort or a dessert-style treat. SnowFlake shines both hot and iced. Enjoy it straight to let the nutty and coconut notes take center stage, or add a splash of milk or almond milk for a latte-style cup that tastes like a bakery treat. It pairs beautifully with cookies, pastries, and any moment that calls for something cozy and slightly sweet. No wonder it is one of our best sellers: fragrant, reliable, and delightful any time of year.

  • loose leaf carrot cake tea next to a brewed cup with besteas logo "best caffeine-free and sweetest treat" Carrot Cake tea, loose leaf and brewed.

    Carrot Cake
    Rooibos Tea

    Craving dessert without the calories? Our Carrot Cake rooibos brings the whole experience to your cup. Warm cinnamon and gentle baking spices meet a sweet, cozy backbone that evokes freshly baked carrot cake: think tender spice cake, a whisper of candied ginger, and a creamy hint of frosting. The aroma alone will fill your kitchen with nostalgia, and the flavor is rich enough to feel like an indulgence, while remaining caffeine-free. This blend is wonderfully versatile, cozy on its own or transformed into a latte with your favorite milk or milk alternative. It also makes a refreshing iced treat, bright and dessert-like without being cloying. Many customers love it as an evening cup or a post-dinner dessert substitute, and it keeps its full, cake-like character whether sipped hot or poured over ice.

    Regular $4.00 - $56.00
    from $0.29 / serving
  • Irish Breakfast Irish Breakfast tea, loose leaf and brewed.

    Irish Breakfast
    Black Tea

    Irish Breakfast is a classic, full-bodied black tea made for those who want a bold, no-nonsense cup. The leaves are processed using the crush-tear-curl, or CTC, method, creating small, dense pellets that release a deep, malty flavor and brisk, satisfying strength. It’s the kind of tea that stands up beautifully to a splash of milk, or holds its own when enjoyed black or with a touch of sweetener. Expect a rich amber liquor, a robust mouthfeel, and a lively finish: honest, straightforward character that makes it a favorite for morning ritual and anytime you want a steady, flavorful brew. If you like a hearty black tea that delivers consistent body and bold flavor, Irish Breakfast is a reliable go-to.

    Regular $3.00 - $30.00
    from $0.15 / serving

    Pistachio White Chocolate
    Rooibos Tea

    If you love the pairing of nutty pistachio and sweet white chocolate, this blend makes them into a plush, sip-able treat. Green rooibos provides a smooth, naturally sweet base while creamy white chocolate chips and crunchy pistachio pieces add layers of texture and flavor. Hints of cocoa and coconut round out the cup, creating a dessert-like profile without being heavy. This tea shines both hot and iced: warm it for a cozy, comforting mug, or chill it for a creamy, almost ice cream-like refresher on warm days. Expect a light-bodied cup with a clear pistachio presence and a gentle white chocolate finish, perfect for anyone looking for a flavorful, indulgent brew. Contains dairy, soy, tree nuts and coconut.

    Regular $4.00 - $45.00
