Every day we're asked for the tea grown in Sedona (tea is native to southeast Asia and does not grow well in AZ or most of North America, including the little experimental plants in our store that have been impossible to keep alive). So, this is as close as we get. It starts with a great quality BLACK TEA from China, then flavored with actual dried fruit bits and extracts of the Arizona Prickly Pear Cactus. It is an absolutely delicious black berry tea, and one of our most popular.
