Tea & Coffee Inspired by the Caribbean: Island Flavors, Healing Traditions, and Modern Wellness
Tea & Coffee Inspired by the Caribbean: Island Flavors, Healing Traditions, and Modern Wellness
Across the Caribbean, tea and coffee are more than just beverages—they are part of a living tradition. Whether you're sipping a strong brew in Jamaica’s Blue Mountains or enjoying “bush tea” made from lemongrass in Dominica, every cup tells a story of resilience, healing, and flavor. While our collection isn’t directly sourced from Caribbean farms (yet!), we proudly offer Caribbean-inspired herbal teas and ethically grown global coffees that honor these vibrant roots.
☕ Coffee Culture: The Bold Brews of the Islands
Caribbean coffee is among the world’s finest. Jamaica’s Blue Mountain Coffee is famed for its smooth, mild flavor and balanced acidity. Likewise, Haiti has a long coffee-growing tradition, once being the world’s top exporter before political and economic turmoil slowed its momentum.
Though our current lineup doesn’t include beans from Jamaica or Haiti, we celebrate that spirit with exceptional coffees like our Peru Fair Trade Organic Coffee and Illy Ground Espresso Coffee—both rich, smooth, and crafted with sustainability in mind.
🍃 Caribbean Bush Teas: Nature’s Healing Power
In islands like Dominica, Saint Lucia, and Trinidad, herbal infusions known as bush teas are part of daily life. These teas are made with local plants such as:
- Lemongrass – calming, good for digestion
- Hibiscus (sorrel) – tangy and cooling, supports heart health
- Moringa and soursop leaf – used in wellness tonics
- Mint and ginger – soothing and energizing
These island traditions are echoed in our herbal blends. Try our Beanji Hand‑Pick Lemon & Hibiscus Tea for a tangy, bright cup full of Caribbean flair.
🌿 The Cool Freshness of Mint & Citrus
From the gardens of Grenada to the hills of Martinique, fresh mint and lemon balm are popular bush tea ingredients. Our Beanji Hand‑Pick Mint & Lemon Tea captures this freshness perfectly. It’s a bright, crisp blend that refreshes the senses and gently supports digestion—perfect for hot tropical mornings or calming evening rituals.
🌺 Calm and Floral Notes from the Islands
In places like Barbados and Saint Vincent, hibiscus tea (locally called sorrel) is a holiday staple. Its deep red color and tart flavor make it both festive and medicinal. Combined with chamomile—a flower also found in many Caribbean gardens—this blend becomes a soothing cup for rest and relaxation.
Try our Beanji Hand‑Pick Chamomile & Hibiscus Tea Blend, perfect for winding down at the end of the day with floral calm and tropical flair.
