Established in 2003 Tega Tea was built out of a desire and passion for providing healthy, delicious and ethical teas and beverage solutions. Liz Bandelin created Nu-Tea Company in 2003 with a small family-based team. It started with a deep, personal connection with South Africa and a passion for health and wellness and a strong desire to make a difference. The international research on the benefits of Rooibos tea caught Liz's attention at an opportune time in her life, and sparked her passion to create a premium quality organic specialty tea brand for the North American market.

Tried the Tega Organic Tea, Lemon Hibiscus Green Rooibos flavour. Lured by the promise of a "crisp and tangy lemon blend" (as stated on the box), I was disappointed that the lemon flavour seemed quite weak on the first 1-cup steeping. I'm not expecting a lemonade, but definitely something stronger to qualify as "crisp" or "tangy". Caveats: -My expectations were set really high by the ad copy promising "crisp" and "tangy". -Could have been a fluke weak batch. -One flavour should not damn an entire brand. Try something else. Apparently there are good reviews of their breakfast teas. Check out their average 4.5 star reviews on SocialNature. As teas go, it's okay. As lemon teas go, it's okay. It further distinguishes itself from "just tea" with its certified organic ingredients, so I feel that's the main reason to purchase Tega. The certified organic ingredients are green rooibos (naturally caffeine free), lemongrass, lemon peel, lemon myrtle, hibiscus, Meyer lemon flavour. It is interesting to note about rooibos that it is naturally caffeine free, and the "green rooibos" is unoxidized / unfermented rooibos, and "the more demanding production process for green rooibos (similar to the method by which green tea is produced) makes it more expensive than traditional rooibos". (ref: wikipedia article) As an aside, I was also disappointed by how much empty space was in the box. Not exactly over-packaged, but it still seemed a bit wasteful.
