🌿 Natural Herbal Teas from Trinidad & Tobago: A Caribbean Wellness Tradition

Trinidad & Tobago's rich cultural heritage blends African, Indian, and Caribbean traditions — and this is beautifully reflected in its herbal tea customs. Let’s explore three traditional teas inspired by the islands, each tied to real products from our store so you can sip the Caribbean spirit from home.

🌺 Sorrel (Hibiscus) Tea

Known locally as “sorrel,” this vibrant red tea is made from hibiscus petals and is traditionally steeped with cloves and spices. It's a refreshing, tangy drink packed with antioxidants and perfect served hot or cold.

Try it: Bigelow Orange & Spice Herbal Tea – with hints of hibiscus and citrus, it captures the island essence of sorrel tea.

🌿 Fever Grass (Lemongrass) Tea

Called “fever grass” in Trinidad, lemongrass is a staple in local bush teas for its calming and detoxifying properties. It's often boiled fresh and consumed for colds or simply to relax.

Try it: DC Tega Organic Lemongrass Herbal Tea – a pure and organic version, easy to enjoy anytime.

🍵 Caribbean Black Tea

Trinbagonians often enjoy a strong black tea with condensed or evaporated milk. While not native, this British tradition has become deeply rooted in island life, especially at breakfast.

Try it: Barry’s Irish Breakfast Tea (80 Bags) – strong, bold, and ideal for a traditional Caribbean-style milk tea.
