Dharma Teas Bali

BLACK TEA

Black tea is the worlds most popular tea. Only black tea is oxidized 100% through a process of crushing the leaves and exposing them to warm moist air for a specified time. This process gives the teas a dark color and a characteristic, more mellow flavor than green teas. Most black teas mix well with milk and/or sugar.
Our Blended Black Teas have been designed to allow both the natural flavor of the tea as well as the blending agent to surface. This delicate harmony results in an appealing beverage that will satisfy the most discerning palate.
Black teas can be enjoyed throughout the day. Most are excellent served chilled as well as hot.

Yunnan - China
This is a Puerh tea known for centuries to have many curative properties, including curing a hangover and lowering cholesterol. An earthy flavor is characteristic of Puerhs in general and we have chosen this particular one for its smooth, sweet flavor aftertaste.

DHARMA´S BLENDED BLACK TEAS

The following products use 100% locally sourced ingredients and are carefully blended to create unique and enjoyable infusions.

Cinnamon Black
A premium black tea has been carefully blended with pure cinnamon pieces to create this smooth tea that boasts a touch of natural sweetness and a clean aftertaste. The sweet, sharp flavor of the cinnamon and the tea prove to create a very enjoyable tea.

Ginger Black
For our take on this popular blend, we have used pure, dried ginger pieces, as opposed to natural or chemical extracts, to infuse our black tea with nothing but real ginger flavor. The purity shines through creating a subtle, yet distinctly sharp, spicy ginger flavor that is balanced with the smoothness of the premium black tea base.

Lemongrass Black
This blend came about accidentally, but we immediately fell in love with the mix of flavors. The medium body of the black tea is given a tangy lemon flavor that refreshes and cleanses the palate.

Dharma’s Original Chai
A good Chai should have a smooth blend of spices and herbs that do not overpower one another. Of course, using a quality tea as a base will also affect the final flavor. We have created Dharma’s Original Chai with these points in mind. Dharma’s Original Chai is a blend of fine black tea, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla and a hint of clove – all locally sourced. This blend is intended to be served with milk and either honey or sugar.



OOLONG TEA

Oolong Tea is the second most oxidized tea - between 20 to 80% depending on the tea desired. The partial oxidation gives Oolong Tea a lighter color than black teas. Oolong as well as Green Tea are the teas of choice in China, the birthplace of these teas and where their processing has been refined over thousands of years.

Telaga Oolong - Indonesia
This is a lightly oxidised oolong with fruity notes. The quality of this tea is proof that Indonesia can produce top quality teas. Through careful cultivation and processing, this tea has a very distinctive character found normally only in Formosa Oolongs.

Ti Kuan Yin - China
This is a lightly oxidised oolong with fruity notes. The quality of this tea is proof that Indonesia can produce top quality teas. Through careful cultivation and processing, this tea has a very distinctive character found normally only in Formosa Oolongs.



WHITE TEA

White tea is the least processed of all the teas. Like the terms “Black Tea” and “Green Tea”, White tea refers more to the color of the dry leaf and the processing method than to the color of the infusion. White tea is generally comprised of the very best tea leaves, the most extreme buds. The young leaves are simply steamed then dried while no oxidizing, rolling or firing occurs like most other teas.

Paimu Tan - China
This tea is considered one of China’s top 10 teas. Cultivated in the Fujian Province, Paimu Tan is entirely hand made and is carefully steamed and dried. The quality can be seen in the dry and wet leaf by the amount of downy fur on the leaves. Naturally, the smooth flavor will also prove the quality of this increasingly popular tea.



GREEN TEA

Green Tea is the general classification for tea that is either minimally oxidized or not oxidized at all. Green Tea is generally more vegetal or earthy in flavor and is lighter and cleaner than most other teas.
China is the main producer of Green Teas with a selection in the hundreds while Japan only produces only Green Tea but with less variety.
Like our Blended Black Teas, our Blended Green Teas have been carefully blended to create a well balanced tea with all the ingredients complimenting rather than overpowering each other as is the case in lower quality teas.
Green teas are a great way to relax and revitalize while enjoying the health giving benefits found in every cup.

Pure Green Teas

Golden Leaf - Java, Indonesia
One of the finest, most unique green teas we have found in Indonesia to date. This tea is produced with the large yet young top three leaves and is carefully processed to ensure the leaves are kept intact. The infusion has a heavy body but a light refined, floral aroma. We are sure Golden Leaf will become a favorite with all those who try it.

Cardamom Green
Some spices and teas were made for each other. It just so happens that our locally-produced green tea is a perfect complement to the unique flavor of locally-grown cardamom. The menthol flavor of the cardamom creates a cooling sensation and helps the green tea cleanse the palate.

Ginger (pure) - Bali, Indonesia
Dharma Teas produces our own dried ginger for our infusions but by a high demand from our clients, we have also started selling pure dried ginger. The benefit of this form is that you can brew a cup with the simplicity of brewing tea and obtain the same strength every time – not so easy to do when using the fresh rhizome. Another character of dried ginger is that it is actually stronger yet more mellow in flavor than fresh ginger. Another bonus is that we test our products to ensure there are no harmful contaminants.

Lemongrass (pure) - Bali, Indonesia
Our Lemongrass is produced in-house to our high standards of hygiene. We source our lemongrass from local Balinese farmers and cut and dry it ourselves to ensure it is produced to our strict guidelines. The strength of the brew is testament to the quality standards we set. Brewed on its own, our Lemongrass creates a light yellow infusion and a bright lemony flavor that is thirst quenching. Lemongrass is also a great base for mixing with other ingredients to create new and unique beverages.

BLENDED / SCENTED GREEN TEAS

Green Tea Citrus
Essentially a “Green Earl Grey,” this is a Sencha green tea with Bergamot and rose flowers .This blend boasts a heavenly, citrus flavor and a light, clean cup with a refreshing aftertaste.

Green Tea Mango
This is a careful blend of an Assam green tea with dried Mango and Sunflower Petals. A natural sweetness comes from the Mango to create an enjoyable cup.

Jasmine - China
Jasmine was first used to scent tea in the fifth century. Our Jasmine has a clean, well balanced flavor and uses a fine Chinese green tea as a base. Jasmine is known as a relaxant, both reducing high blood pressure and relieving anxiety. It is a good tea to use to wind down after a long day.

Moroccan Mint
Our Moroccan Mint is a traditional "Gunpowder" green tea carefully balanced with Spearmint leaves. This tea will share the benefits of the other green teas but with the addition of Spearmint, it also provides benefit to both stomach ailments as well as respiratory problems. Naturally sweet from the spearmint, Moroccan Mint is excellent in combating the onslaught of a cold.

DHARMA´S BLENDED GREEN TEAS

We have created several uniquely Balinese Green Tea blends using 100% locally sourced spices. These products are both refreshing and are guaranteed to be strong sellers when promoted as Indonesian products.

Cardamom Green
Some spices and teas were made for each other.It just so happens that our locally-produced green tea is a perfect complement to the unique flavor of locally-grown cardamom.The menthol flavor of the cardamom creates a cooling sensation and helps the green tea cleanse the palate.

Ginger Green
While most people create ginger tea using a black tea as the base, we decided to try a green tea / ginger mix. As luck would have it, the two blend well to create a sharp, spicy flavor yet with a smooth, vegetal body.

Lemongrass Green
This is a blend that seemed to naturally invent itself. We combined our premium green tea with lemongrass and a hint of ginger to create a fascinating spicy, lemony character. Try this as an iced tea for a real treat!

Vanilla Green
One of the most expensive spices, vanilla is undeniably one of the world’s most popular flavors. Rather than using processed vanilla extract, we opted to use cut and dried vanilla bean in our blend – nothing but the best. The original result was incredibly smooth but lacking pizzazz, so we added a little ginger to spice it up. Although almost undetectable, the ginger makes all the difference.



HERBAL TEA

Herbal Teas do not contain Camellia sinensis so they contain no caffeine (except Mate products). Herbals are a mixture of various leaves, flowers, fruits or other plant parts that are carefully mixed to create a unique and enjoyable flavor. Due to their natural ingredients, they contain a wealth of health benefits and can be enjoyed by all ages. Most Herbals also make excellent, refreshing iced teas that can be a unique addition to any menu.

After Dark
After Dark provides relief for stomach ailments such as ulcers and indigestion through the combined effort of Spearmint, Chamomile, and Lemongrass. A light and soothing tea to enjoy, it will also help clear chest colds and sore throats. After Dark is an easily enjoyable infusion with a bright, clean flavor.

Chamomile
With a smooth, apple-like flavor and a natural calming effect, it is little wonder that Chamomile is the most popular herbal tea in the world. Perhaps not so well known is Chamomile's ability to relieve the symptoms of the following: gingivitis, anxiety, canker sores, diarrhea, indigestion and heartburn, insomnia, peptic ulcers, skin irritations and is believed to help treat malaria. But perhaps it is best to just relax and enjoy the smooth character of this herbal infusion.

Fruit Paradise
Naturally sweet with a smooth berry flavor, Fruit Paradise is loaded with vitamins. Hibiscus and Rosehips, both with high doses of vitamin C levels, combine with other natural ingredients to create a vitamin and mineral packed infusion that is as healthy as it is enjoyable. This tea is great as an overall boost for the immune system and to replace the vitamins and minerals lost through perspiration.

Ginger (pure) - Bali, Indonesia

The benefit of this form is that you can brew a cup with the simplicity of brew tea and obtain the same strength every time – not so easy to do when using the fresh rhizome. Another character of dried ginger is that it is actually stronger yet more mellow in flavor than fresh ginger. Another bonus is that we also have our product tested in the lab to ensure there are no harmful molds or funguses.

AYURVEDIC INSPIRED BLENDS

Our Ayurvedic inspired blends have been created to provide a product with an enjoyable flavor and a function our bodies will enjoy. While we have used some imported ingredients when a suitable item is not available locally, these are predominantly made using local herbs and spices. While striving to support the different Ayurvedic body types, we have placed enjoyable flavor as a primary goal to ensure these blends are not medicinal in flavor, but rather blends that can be enjoyed throughout the day.

Pitta
According to ancient Ayurvedic knowledge, Pitta body type needs cooling down; this unique blend of Chinese White tea, Coriander, Cardamom and Peppermint is designed to do just that. While cooling your internal heat, this blend will also cleanse your palate. But perhaps the best reason to enjoy a cup of Pitta is for its unique and refreshing flavor.

This blend of Anise, Cardamom, Chamomile and Ginger is carefully blended to create an enjoyable flavor while also helping to warm and relax the digestive system. Although perfect for Vata body type, this infusion can easily be enjoyed by all.

Kapha
