LET THEM EAT CAKE BUNDLE

Sweet toothies, this one’s for you!

Karha Chai is Babingtons special recipe and because of its ingredients a true cure-all blend! African Nights is a sweet and fruity caffeine free herbal tea, prepared with the famous South African rooibos plant and 100% natural ingredients. Now the only thing to do is choose your cake!

Black tea, known as “red tea” in China, is produced with fully oxidized leaves of the Camelia Sinensis. The tea plant contains vitamins, minerals, polyphenols and caffeine, which help us improve performance and concentration.
Common thought is that black tea contains more caffeine than green or white teas; this however is not the case. Caffeine is present in all teas and the quantity of the caffeine depends on many factors such as the quality of the teas, the altitude (often high grown teas are more premium), the terroir, the age of the tea plants, and most importantly the brewing (water temperature and infusion time).
