Since 1992, Silk Road Tea has created a name for itself as one of the foremost purveyors of organic loose tea as well as skin and body products. From the shops located in Victoria’s historic Chinatown and Victoria Public Market, owner and Chief Tea Ambassador, Daniela Cubelic has established a reputation for creating unique tea blends using premium, quality ingredients without any artificial flavours, colours or sweeteners. For years, Silk Road has been available as loose tea, but Cubelic has recently found a revolutionary new teabag. Until this bag, and its ultra gentle packaging equipment that doesn’t damage the tea leaves and ensuring the tea leaves maintain their maximum freshness. The new bags offer the convenience of 2 cup-teabags for on-the-go drinks and are also made from compostable plant material to leave the smallest environmental footprint possible.
Silk Road Teabags are available in 10 varieties of wellness, green, herbal, black, and chai teas. I’ve recently tried Imperial Earl Grey, a quality classic blend of Ceylon black tea with floral bergamot essence. Silk Road’s top selling, Angelwater is one of the most fragrant teas I’ve ever tried, spearmint, lavender, rose, and elder flowers with red clover blend into a fresh, light cup of tea.
With the convenience of teabags making it easy to have Silk Road at the office, I look forward to trying more blends.
Silk Road Teabags are available instore or online in rice paper satchels of 10 as well as their loose teas in tins.
Silk Road Tea Shop & Spa is located at 1624 Government Street in Victoria’s Chinatown.
