After launching its Jardin Collection last year, Tea Forté is following up with a second limited-edition collaboration with The New York Botanical Garden called the Fleur Collection. Fleur is all about spring, flowers and fruits, and 4% of sales through retail outlets will help to support NYBG's efforts in research, conservation, horticulture and education.
The Fleur Collection contains five organic tea blends, including favorites like Earl Grey, Jasmine Green, Blueberry Merlot and all-new additions like aromatic Peach Blossom and Hibiscus Blossom.
The packaging for the Fleur Collection shows the work of French botanical artists from the 18th and 19th centuries. The entire experience is artful and offers an immersive way to experience ingredients influenced by Botanical Garden's living collections.
