Teas

As for tea, we offer Twinings of London for the traditionalist, and for the more adventurous we have a large range of The Republic of Tea. Another notable line of tea is Numi, which is premium, organic, and comes in several intriguing flavors.

Boston Stoker Teas
Don Dean, owner of the Vandalia-based Boston Stoker chain of nine coffee and tea shops in the Dayton area, three of which are located in our DLM stores, has been selling loose tea for brewing for the past six months. His biggest sellers are the Blueberry Roobis, an antioxidant-rich African tea with real, wild blueberries and the Wild Berry Black, made with real fruit and Chinese shade-grown black tea. All the loose teas are organic and half are also fair trade. The iced teas taste sweet without any artificial sweeteners added. These zero-calorie drinks, some of which are naturally caffeine-free, are refreshing and healthy. Did you know that 85% of tea consumed in the America is iced? Now you can also get unique iced (or hot) tea at DLM’s Boston Stoker counters!

Organic Honest Just Black or Green Tea
The “Just” in the name stands for Fair Trade Certified. This gluten-free organic tea is unsweetened and naturally delicious without any additives, chemicals, or calories. Available in a convenient 64-oz plastic recyclable jug.

Republic of  Tea Bottled Iced Teas
Using filtered water, natural flavors and colors, these expertly brewed teas are a delight to the palate. Wonderful sounding flavors such as Passion Fruit Green Tea, Honeydew Melon White Tea, Orange Blossom White Tea, and Capetown Tropical Red Tea are all-natural, caffeine-free and unsweetened resulting in a no-calorie/no-carb drink.
