Peppery Herbal Freshness with Metropolitan Tea Organic Carqueja Leaves

The Metropolitan Tea Organic Carqueja Leaves Loose Leaf Tea delivers a light, vegetative, and refreshingly pure herbal character with a distinctive balance of pepper and licorice notes. Traditionally crafted in small batches, these organic Carqueja leaves produce a pale green-yellow infusion with gentle astringency and a clean, layered finish.

Sourced from Paraná, Brazil, the leaves combine fresh vegetal tones with subtle peppery warmth and naturally sweet licorice nuances. The interplay between mild astringency and these contrasting flavors creates a distinctive caffeine-free tisane with enough character to enjoy alone or incorporate into custom blends.
