The benefits of tea make it a popular base for everything from superfood elixirs to energy drinks and other healthy tea-based beverages. At the same time many consumers are looking to absorb healing properties from the purest of tea leaves, there are a number of consumers who are also looking for ways to indulge within the boundaries of what's still considered fairly healthy. For instance, it's now possible to find dessert-inspired loose leaf tea that tastes like everything from birthday cake to freshly baked cookies and wine.
Pushing the concept of indulgent tea further, there are also a few examples that strip away the links between tea and health. This is exemplified in kombucha cocktails, as well as tea used as a base for sodas and beer.
