The Republic of Tea will showcase and provide tastings at Booth #1317 at the Winter Fancy Food Show. Highlights include:

- Keto-Friendly Sweet Tea Hibiscus Lemonade – Many people don’t know that hibiscus tea has even more antioxidants than green tea. The refreshing hibiscus blossom evokes a vibrant flavor much like juicy cranberries and raspberries. In this iced tea blend, The Republic of Tea combines organic hibiscus and the flavor of homemade lemonade with monk fruit, which lends a natural sweetness with no bitter aftertaste. A perfect tea for everyone, especially those on a ketogenic or low-calorie diet!

- Single Sips® – The latest additions to The Republic of Tea’s Single Sips® collection – a line of premium organic teas and herbs that are conveniently pre-measured in single-serving packets. Single Sips® can be enjoyed by shaking up the contents in a water bottle, stirring into hot water, or mixing into a smoothie, yogurt or oatmeal for the perfect pick-me-up:

- Immunity Elderberry Punch Single Sips® contain the flavors of ripe berries and sweet-tart hibiscus. These superfoods have been used for centuries to support immunity and they provide an excellent source of vitamin C.

- Immunity Nectarine Honey Orangeade Single Sips® protect your body with the delicious flavors of juicy oranges and sweet nectarines. The hydrating blend of organic superfoods provides an excellent source of vitamin C and includes a touch of turmeric and ginger for added immunity.

Tea Capsules – The Republic of Tea is excited to add three new flavors to its beloved collection of Tea Capsules, including London Fog, Dream Latte, and Cocoa Shroom. Each package features 10 convenient, recyclable capsules, compatible with Original Nespresso® machines:

- Cocoa Shroom creates a barista-style, creamy hot cocoa, enhanced with apoptogenic mushrooms, which have been used for hundreds of years for relaxation and focus.

- Dream Latte is a satisfying, sweet and creamy plant-based latte to help you surrender to sleep. This capsule provides a velvety, dessert-style berry blue tea with calming ashwagandha, valerian, and hops.

- London Fog is all-in-one capsule that contains oat milk and sweetener blended into premium Earl Grey tea and vanilla to produce a delicious, frothy cup in seconds.

- SuperGreen Digestion – A new addition to the SuperGreen Tea collection, this delicious organic blend helps promote gut health, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion. * Turmeric, ginger, and green tea have been staples in the Asian diet, not only for flavor, but to aid digestion, for over a thousand years. This spicy infusion also contains matcha, which has natural caffeine and L-theanine for a calm alertness and lasting energy. Enjoy hot or over ice with honey and a squeeze of lemon.

- Bridgerton Tea Collection - This year, The Republic of Tea launched five limited-edition teas inspired by the lead characters in Shondaland’s Emmy-nominated Netflix period drama, Bridgerton. The collection of teas which feature custom tin art, includes Anthony & Kate Spiced Chai Tea, Duke & Duchess Honey Breakfast Tea, Queen’s Cake Vanilla Fruit Tea, Featherington Blood Orange Mimosa Tea, and Whistledown Punch Hibiscus Iced Tea. Additionally showcased is the newly released Newton Ginger Biscuit Tea, which features an idyllic blend of rooibos and spices. 

- Mulled Apple Spice Tea – This caffeine-free blend has the zestiness of cinnamon and orange peel with the sweetness of crisp apple and finishes with the spiciness of clove and allspice. A comforting cup to cozy up with on a cold winter evening.

- Ginger Lemon Honey for Tea – This raw, creamed clover honey enhanced with bold, spicy ginger and a touch of lemon, will wake up any cup of tea as well as your body. Naturally dairy-free, the honey’s crystallization process creates a delicious spreadable treat to be stirred into a warming cup.
