They have choices like Season Of Lovely Tea, Champagne Lavender Ice Tea, Candied Ginger, Assam Milk Tea and Rose Milk Tea. The latter is comforting, and is one of Winter Warmer’s signature teas. The Candied Ginger tea on the other hand is an acquired taste and did not work with me. I had one sip and put it aside.

Another popular tea is the Rosebuds Caffeine-Free Herbal Tea, a popular booster for the immune system which is free from caffeine and antioxidants.

Ice cold options include Iced Rose Fruit Cocktail, Iced Lime Mint Tea, Iced Green Cucumber Tea, and the Champagne Lavender Ice Tea.
