National Parks Tea Collection
Simpson & Vail's inspiration for creating the National Park Tea Line was the majesty and beauty of the parks. We love these delicious loose leaf blends, and are even more excited that Simpson & Vail gives 10% of sales to help preserve our national parks and to raise awareness for why the parks are so important. Each flavor comes in a 4oz decorative tin. See details for individual descriptions.
