Drink of the Day: Kusmi Tea Detox

December 28, 2010 11:17 am

"Kick the coffee, and sip some tea," is often our motto at Behind the Burner once 4 o'clock roles around. Now, our new favorite product is Kumsi's detox tea.

Founded in 1867 by P.M Kousmichoff, and established in Paris in 1917, this tea is now distributed world wide, offering gourmet exclusive blends and high quality traditional teas.

Although coming in a variety of flavors, the Detox is a blend of Matè and Chinese green tea. Upon opening the lid, scents of lemon grass fill the room. Rich in antioxidants without any caffeine side effects, we recommend making this tea mid afternoon to satisfy any unwanted cravings.

Tip: Mate, also known as cimarròn, is a South American infused drink made by steeping dried leaves of Yerba mate, or a type of holly, in hot water. Originally found in Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, Chile, Syria, and Lebanon, Mate transforms Kusmi's Parisian tea into a worldwide delicacy.
