té is a shrub, grown for a hot drink made from its leaves. té is appreciated both for its stimulant properties and health benefits, and as the centre of social rituals such as the Japanese té ceremony and British teatime.
One of the largest specialty té companies in the U.S. (and seller of my current favorite, Vanilla Nut Creme, a black tea). Site includes an online store and lots of té lore and trivia.
