Description

Like the dance that inspired its name, our Foxtrot tea is an overnight success that will leave you giddy with joy. It is an herbal cocktail of Egyptian chamomile, South African Rooibos and fresh peppermint leaves. A soothing blend of familiar tastes that produces a pleasantly original combination. It is entirely caffeine-free. The spring in your step is due entirely to its enticing taste.

Story

The Foxtrot dance originated with the vaudeville actor Harry Fox. The New York Theatre was being converted into a movie house in 1914, and decided to add vaudeville acts between shows. Harry Fox was asked to put on a dancing act. Part of it included trotting steps performed to ragtime music. The people who saw it, began referring to it as "Fox's Trot." And soon, all the dance masters in New York were advertising foxtrot lessons. The dance is characterized by long, gliding and perfectly smooth steps.

"I'm not generally a big fan of mint tea because I find it to be overpowering. However this was a nice balance between rooibos, chamomile, and mint and I enjoyed it. "

"Very good taste with the mix of chamomile and peppermint which both I can taste, never had rooibos by itself so don't know what I'm tasting about that. What I love the most about this is that while it is basically an enhanced chamomile, unlike the plain chamomile it is much easier to rinse out my tea strainer as them chamomile buds are much less pominent in the blend. Highly recommand. "

"This tea is just perfect for a night time brew. I wasn't expecting much from it but I was surprised at how delicious it really was. Calming and soothing. "

"This herbal blend has it's ups and its downs. I like the mintiness, but I think it's a bit heavy on the chamomile flavor and that overpowers everything else. I wouldn't have even noticed the rooibos was there if I wasn't expecting it. Still, it makes a tasty cup of tea, heavy on the chamomile and peppermint. Very relaxing. The chamomule flowers completely gum up my strainer though, and it's a huge pain to clean it after making a pot of foxtrot."
