In 1922, a new era for tea consumption began in America. The herb alfalfa, long known for its beneficial nutrients, was packaged in tea bags and sold to an emerging health food market.

Today, Alvita represents more than forty single-ingredient teas, each one uniquely distinct, just like the individuals who drink them.
