↑About Shanti Tea
Shanti Tea is a Toronto-based Canadian tea company, founded in 2009, with a focus on sustainability. Shanti Tea sells only loose tea, and only sells it online.
All of Shanti's teas are certified organic by EcoCert Canada.
During the first two years of Shanti Tea, many of their teas were also fair trade certified, but the company stopped using this certification process for a variety of reasons that they explain on their website.
Shanti Tea also sells teas exclusively in reusable tins, and/or biodegradable/compostable bags, and uses exclusively recyclable shipping materials. Shanti also focuses on selling teas that are biodynamically grown, a system for agriculture that focuses on growing tea (or any crops being grown) as part of an ecosystem, and focuses on promoting the health of the ecosystem as a whole. Shanti does not participate in the biodynamic certification process, but some of the tea estates Shanti purchases from are certified biodynamic by Demeter (Demeter Biodynamic Trade Association / Demeter International).

This is a tisane crafted from a few herbs that supposedly provide a cognitive boost: gotu kola, gingko biloba,and ashwagandha, along with some other herbs that presumable add some flavor, like sage and lemon verbena. It also contains peppermint and rosemary, which some believe have healing or stimulating properties. ...
Read Full ReviewI tried this both hot and iced, and while it is fine hot, it is meant to be served in the summer on ice (with sugar or honey of course, and a squeeze of lemon is good to have as well). It is mostly organic, with only the "natural essences" being not organic. The aroma is floral and fruity, and the flavor emphasizes t...
Read Full ReviewThis is a surprising tea. I never saw one of these before, and until now, I thought only lunatics would attempt to mix tea with coffee. It is a blend of black tea, a few coffee beans, sunflowers, and natural caramel flavoring. I was pleasantly surprised at the rich flavor (when made with milk and sugar of course). T...
Read Full ReviewThis is a very unusual tea - I am a little unsure how I feel about it, so I may amend this review later. It is made with hibiscus, elderberries, and beet root and, strangely enough, they recommend steeping for just 2 minutes. I am guessing that is to prevent the tart hibiscus from stepping in and dominating the flavor...
Read Full ReviewThis makes a very sweet, floral chai, which is not surprising, since it contains 3 kinds of flowers, in addition to cinnamon and other spices. The flavor is a little extravagant, but nice. I see that my review is very different from Alex's - maybe the formula has changed, or perhaps our taste buds are different.
