"Dona Elderflower Fennel Ouli Tisane is light and
refreshing. This unique flavor combination delivers
just the right mix of each element. The chamomile and
elderflower work together as the primary taste with
fennel adding just a splash of light licorice-like flavor. It's
ideal for relaxing by a pool, or if you don't have a pool
then it will help you pretend that's where you are."

TRENDY TEAS
As consumers continue to spend most of their time at home
and seek comforting foods and beverages, they are game to
try new takes on their favorite teas or get out of their comfort
zone with experimental flavors. Specialty Food asked a trio of
retail buyers to share their picks for popular teas.

"Tea connects us to so many things
larger than ourselves. It allows
us space to recoup and relax or
energize and refresh. With so many
options, you are bound to match
your personality and mood to any
number of exciting producers."
