Tea Forte's award winning teas delight tea connoisseurs and casual sippers alike.  The silken infusers are sure to be the start of many conversations.         About Tea Forte  Founded in 2003, Tea Forté is the realization of one man's dream and vision. Renowned American designer, Peter Hewitt, set out to capture the "art of tea" and define the contemporary ceremony of tea. Through the combination of artfully blended teas, and custom-designed accessories, Tea Forté elevates a cup of tea into an extraordinary experience for all of your senses. Peter's passion for whole leaf teas began in the local teahouses of Asia. There he discovered the complexity of flavors available in whole leaf teas and the exquisite ceremony surrounding the art of tea drinking. Through his personal discovery, he became dedicated to transforming the artistry of the Asian tea ceremony into an experience for today's lifestyle. Peter consulted with chefs and restaurateurs in culinary havens worldwide to create the most innovative, delicious blends. With the aid of expert tea masters, the blends of whole leaf teas, rough-cut herbs and flowers were painstakingly perfected. Peter labored over every detail of the pyramid infusers crowned with our signature leaf. Each one is a work of art; handcrafted in the Tea Forte workshop amid the lush tea gardens of China and designed to infuse as much flavor and aroma as loose leaf teas. The result is a most delicious cup of tea. But the rich flavors and aromas of extraordinary tea are only a portion of the Tea Forté experience. Their stylish accessories and enchanting infuser transform your cup of tea into elegant and soothing moment.Tea Forte in the News:In 2006 Tea Forte was featured in the Robb Report, The Wall Street Journal, American Spa Magazine, Women's Day, Brides Magazine, Health Magazine and many other print and internet publications.Quotes about Tea Forte:BusinessWeekOnline, February 2005"Tea Forte is the Lamborghini of Tea Bags."The O List - Oprah Magazine, October 2004"If you are a tea lover, this is about as good as it gets." -- Oprah      * CLICK ON THE LOGO BELOW * We sell other Gourmet Tea too!   Just click on the picture above.        Why Buy Gourmet Tea From Us?   The teas we offer are always in stock and ready for shipment.
