We think it’s safe to say that everyone would agree with this statement: any time you have a chance to do something Disney-inspired, you jump at it! So you can understand our level of excitement at the opportunity to collaborate with Disney on creating not just one tea but a collection of teas based on some of their most beloved characters.
It is with great pleasure that we introduce you to our Disney Collection of five specially blended teas. We’ve put together some recipes from our very own cookbook that pair well with each tea. Which one are you making?
We start with the iconic character who started it all, Mickey! For Disney’s signature character, we created a blend that starts with a black tea base – a classic, just like Mickey – and blended in rosehips and vanilla for a mixture of mildly sweet and floral with a touch of tartness.
We’re pairing our Mickey Mouse blend with another classic: biscotti. For Mickey, we’ve chosen an Orange Cranberry Jasmine Biscotti – we think it’s a fun and bright combination of flavors that remind us of Mickey’s personality and make for a perfect bite to enjoy along with this blend.

Minnie Mouse is not only an icon of femininity and fashion, she’s fun-loving with a sweet nature. We gave her tea the same black tea base as Mickey’s, but took the sweetness level up a notch by adding natural rose flavor, rose petals, honey, and caramel.
A sweet and yummy tribute to Minnie’s blend is this Spiced Plum Gingerbread Cake. The gingerbread flavors make a wonderful sidekick to a cuppa this tea, while the spiced plum tea adds a hint of pale pink to the cake, which we also think is fitting.

Another timeless Disney character, Snow White immediately brings to mind singing, birds, a fairytale forest, seven special friends and one wicked queen.
We decided to pair this Mutan white tea base with apple flavor, apple pieces, cornflowers and marigolds, all reminiscent of Snow White’s happy times in the beautiful forest. Try sipping our Snow White blend with this creamy, fruity dessert for a combo that will have you whistling an upbeat tune.

A daring princess like Disney’s Jasmine deserves an exciting tea! For this character who was yearning for adventure, we created a green tea scented with jasmine and sprinkled with chamomile flowers. Sorry, does not include a pet tiger.
To make this a full-blown jasmine experience, we’re pairing this Jasmine blend with Green Fruits in Jasmine Tea Syrup. The zest of lime and trio of green fruits add just the right amount of adventure for your taste buds.

Another character with a spirit of adventure, Disney’s Moana inspired us to create a tea full of bold flavors and some island spirit. Our Moana blend starts with a green bancha tea to which we added coconut, fruit and island flavors. You can almost feel the sand between your toes!
We think you’ll enjoy this Poached Scallops With Red Peppers and Vanilla Tea Vinaigrette dish while sipping on this island tea. Welcome to paradise!
