Buddha Teas Organic Saffron & Green Tea 18 Tea Bags

Saffron & Green Retail: $12.99 In the Know Saffron is one of the most expensive spices in the world, and for good reason. The saffron spice is made from the handpicked stigmas of flowers, which must be carefully gathered and dried. It takes approximately 4,500 flowers to make even one ounce of saffron, making this rare herb even more costly than its weight in gold. When saffron is used in tea, this dynamic spice is blended with green tea, not only because it is such an expensive spice, but because it is so potent that only a small amount of saffron is required to enjoy its flavor. Our rich blend of saffron and organic green tea offers a smooth, luxurious taste fit for even the most experienced tea connoisseur to enjoy. What Does Saffron & Green Tea Taste Like?

A Sumptuous and Enriching Tea The combination of saffron and green tea provides more than a sensational tea blend.
