Some Bad News

THE BAD NEWS: Due to our suppliers raising their prices, and also due to the fact that we insist on paying our tea pickers a living wage,  Flora's Tea Company will unfortunately be raising the prices on most of its teas soon.  

Meanwhile we are still trying to keep our prices as low as possible for as long as possible.


Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The Benefits of Drinking Tea

The main health benefits of tea drinking

Here are some of the key health benefits that tea drinking can bring:


Tea reduces the risk of heart disease - Tea can potentially improve the blood flow around the body, by widening key arteries and reducing the risk of clots. 

Tea also contains antioxidants called ‘flavonoids’, which may slow down the onset and risk of heart disease.


Tea hydrates the body - Although water is the prime fluid for rehydrating the body after exercise or a long day in the office, some scientists believe that drinking tea could be equally useful. Although high in caffeine, tea is still great for hydration as it provides a rich and flavorful source of water.


Tea prevents tooth decay - Believe it or not, a regular supply of tea can really strengthen your teeth and lower the risk of tooth decay. Tea is a great source of fluoride, which can bolster tooth enamel. The antioxidants contained within a cuppa have also been known to fight against bacteria and gum disease.


Slimming through tea drinking? - Some scientific studies have suggested that regular tea drinking can help to keep body fat down by speeding up the burning of calories. If nothing else, it’s less fattening than sipping on a soft drink.


Boosting memory power with tea - Many scientists believe that certain types of tea, such as green tea, can strengthen memory cells in the brain, and offer protection from the development of dementia and even Alzheimer’s Disease. No wonder old people drink so much tea.


Beating cancer through the power of tea - Some high-profile studies have recently suggested that tea drinking could seriously help your chances of avoiding cancer. Although research is still developing in this area, reports indicate that prostate, mouth and breast cancer cases are much lower amongst those who regularly drink five or more cups of tea a day.

Our Founders

We sell only the highest quality teas in our effort to reconnect you to Mother Earth.

Flora - Our Founder

Brave and resourceful, Flora came to the mainland, U.S. as a lone teenager determined to make a way for her mother and siblings to follow. Through hard work, determination, and sometimes sheer will, she was able to succeed in her goal of bringing her family over to join her in her new home, where they settled down and built a better life for themselves. Sweet, loving, supportive, and dedicated to the ideals of family and entrepreneurship, Flora also had a reputation for toughness and fearlessness. She valued tea for it's medicinal properties and health benefits.

Oriana, Tea, co-founder, Ori

Oriana - Our Co-Founder

 Oriana was practically a carbon-copy of her grandmother, Flora. Sweet-natured, caring, empathic and always concerned about the spiritual, emotional, and even physical needs of others. She was often seen ministering to patients, nurses, doctors, administrative personnel, and even the chaplains at various hospitals and nursing homes.  She was fun-loving as well, and used to regale her family and friends with tales of her adventures. She was also a bonafide diva with a discerning taste in food, fashion, and friends.  

Kinds of Teas we sell

Black Tea

Black tea is a type of tea that is more oxidized than green, oolong, and white teas. All four types are made from the leaves of the shrub Camellia sinensis.

Black tea is generally stronger in flavor than the less oxidized teas. Two principal varieties of the species are used – the small-leaved Chinese variety plant (C. sinensis subsp. sinensis), used for most other types of teas, and the large-leaved Assamese plant (C. sinensis subsp. assamica), which was traditionally mainly used for black tea, although in recent years some green and white have been produced

Green Tea

Green tea is made solely from the leaves of Camellia sinensis that have undergone minimal oxidation during processing.

Green tea originates in China and has become associated with many cultures throughout Asia. It has recently become more widespread in the West, where black tea is traditionally consumed. Many varieties of green tea have been created in countries where they are grown. These varieties can differ substantially due to variable growing conditions, horticulture, production processing, and harvesting time.

Herbal Tea

Herbal tea, tisane or ptisan, is an herbal or plant infusion, and not usually made from the leaves of the tea bush Camellia sinensis.

Like brews made of the tea bush, such infusions are prepared by combining hot water and fruits, leaves, roots or grains. The resulting drink can be served hot or cold. Herbal tea has been used for nearly as long as written history extends.

African Rooibos Tea

African Rooibos, or Aspalathus linearis, tea is grown only in a small area, 100- kilometers, in South Africa. Rooibos has a somewhat “earthy” tone which some people think tastes similar to black tea. Prized for its attractive red infusion color, Rooibos is a caffeine-free alternative to black and green tea that is traditionally harvested by the Khoisan nomadic ethnicities of South Africa. Rooibos is rich in minerals like iron. 

Pu-erh Tea

Pu-erh tea, also known as Pu-er tea, is a variety of post-fermented teas produced in Yunnan Province, China.

Post-fermentation is a tea production style in which the tea leaves undergo a microbial fermentation process after they are dried and rolled. This is a Chinese specialty and is sometimes referred to as dark, or black tea (this type of tea is completely different from what in West is known as "black tea", which in China is called "red tea").

Drink to your health!

Simply put, tea is just plain good for you!

With so many potential health benefits, there’s never been a better time to put the kettle on. But which type of tea is for you?  Let’s find out:


Benefits of green tea - Green tea has been found to boost the performance of the liver, and prevent arthritis by strengthening bones. 


Benefits of black tea - While green tea often grabs the health headlines, black tea also possesses many of the health benefits mentioned above. Offering a strong source of antioxidants, it is great for preventing viruses in the mouth and gums and has also been known to widen impaired arteries by as much as 50 per cent, preventing blood clots.

The Three Mothers, Alberta King, Louise Little, and Berdis Baldwin, Anna Malaika Tubbs

The Three Mothers

Our April Book-of-the-Month

An Amazon Best Book of February 2021: By turns extraordinary and ordinary, inspiring and devastating, the lives of Alberta King, Louise Little, and Berdis Baldwin are worthy of attention, and so too is their biographer, Anna Malaika Tubbs. As I learned about these women—the discrimination they endured as young Black girls, what they overcame, what their mothers and their grandmothers overcame, how they raised their boys and witnessed their deaths—my eyes filled with tears at their resolute strength and how their lives, like those of so many other Black mothers, have been ignored.—Al Woodworth, Amazon Book Review

by Anna Malaika Tubbs

"An engrossing triple biography of Alberta King, mother of Martin Luther King Jr.; Louise Little, mother of Malcom X; and Berdis Baldwin, mother of James Baldwin... Tubbs skillfully draws parallels between each woman’s story, and vividly captures the early years of the civil rights movement. This immersive history gives credit where it’s long overdue."―Publishers Weekly
