Gourmet Tea Purveyor Aroma Tea Bar Updates E-bar Tea Collection

Online, January 15, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Aroma Tea Bar, a gourmet tea distributor, has updated their e-bar to include a red and white tea collection in time for Valentine's Day. The update features a variety of Rooibos (ROY -BOS) teas, commonly known as red tea and a selection of White teas all curated from various countries.
"As the second most consumed beverage in the world and with five out of every six Americans being a consumer, loose leaf tea has come to the fore front of the beverage industry and is slowly becoming a topic of discussion amongst many," says Yunche Wilson, Owner of Aroma Tea Bar.

Rooibos is classified as a tisane and is a relatively newcomer to Western society. Rooibos was introduced as a substitute for black tea. During World War II, virtually all supplies of Japanese and Chinese teas suddenly became unavailable. The tea-addicted Western culture scoured the world for an alternative, finally discovering caffeine-free Rooibos. Rooibos has a rich, slightly sweet flavor that is excellent alone and blends extremely well with a variety of flavors.

White Tea falls under the five basic styles of tea and is essentially an unprocessed tea. The name is derived from the fuzzy white "down" that appears on the unopened or recently opened buds - the newest growth on the tea bush. White tea is simply plucked and allowed to wither dry.

"Aroma Tea Bar's focus on customization and providing a higher quality beverage to the everyday consumer drove the decision for us make additions to our collection," Yunche continues.

Aroma Tea Bar is a gourmet loose leaf tea distributor with a specialization in customization. Their e-bar (online store) showcases all of their gourmet teas and accessories.
