Rishi Launches Three New Teas to Celebrate Summer Flavor, Botanical Craftsmanship, and an Exclusive Partnership with Whole Foods

PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Kinzie Joyce for Rishi Tea & Botanicals

MILWAUKEE, WI (JUNE 2025) – This month, Rishi Tea & Botanicals unveils three new teas: Garden Party, Tangerine Hibiscus, and Ritual Green. Crafted to elevate everyday rituals and celebrate the vibrant spirit of summer, these versatile teas are brimming with lush florals, juicy citrus bursts, and forest-grown flavor. They’re designed to shine both hot and over ice—perfect for the long, sunlit days ahead, and beyond.

Garden Party, a radiant botanical blend, is exclusive to Whole Foods Market through October. This whimsical tea delights the senses with a bouquet of golden chamomile blossoms, uplifting neroli bitter orange, a blush of hibiscus, fresh-cut strawberry, and smooth honeybush sweetness. The result is a tea ideal for outdoor brunches, garden soirées, or simply unwinding in the sunshine.

Garden Party marks the third consecutive year Rishi has launched an exclusive seasonal tea with Whole Foods Market, a partnership that continues to set the bar for culinary creativity and premium sourcing in specialty tea.

“Our seasonal collaborations with Whole Foods inspire us to create with boldness and purpose,” says Jeff Champeau, President of Rishi Tea & Botanicals. “Garden Party is a sensory celebration of summer, and it’s supported by two other standout teas that reflect the same commitment to craft and origin.”

The only single-origin offering in this trio, Ritual Green is a vibrant, energizing green tea harvested from old-growth forest gardens in the highlands of northern Thailand. This full-flavored, gently roasted tea reveals natural sweetness and subtle floral notes of lily and orchid—ideal for mindful mornings or a refreshing midday pause.

Rounding out the collection is Tangerine Hibiscus, a vivid, juicy blend of refreshing hibiscus, sweet tangerine, zesty lime, and warming ginger. Bright and aromatic, this caffeine-free tea is delicious served warm or cold, making it a go-to option for any season, any time of day.

Garden Party and Tangerine Hibiscus are now available at Whole Foods Market stores nationwide, with Garden Party offered exclusively through October. All flavors are currently available at Rishi-Tea.com and will launch on Amazon later this summer.
