Tops Jamaican Herbal Teas
Tops Jamaican Herbal Teas offer a variety of traditional Jamaican herbal tea flavors made for people who enjoy familiar Caribbean herbs, spices and mint blends. The Tops range includes several different teas, giving customers a choice of flavors rather than limiting this page to just one variety.
The product gallery on this page shows a selection of Tops Jamaican teas, including varieties such as Cerasee, Cinnamon, Peppermint, Ginger and Fever Grass. Packaging and availability may vary, so always check the specific product you receive for current ingredients, preparation instructions and other manufacturer information.
Explore the Tops Tea Varieties
Perishables Jamaica Limited, the Jamaican company behind Tops, lists 16 flavors in the Tops herbal tea range. These include Bissy, Cerasee, Cinnamint, Cinnamon, Classic Peppermint, Cullen Mint, Egyptian Peppermint, Fever Grass or Lemongrass, Gincin, Ginger, Ginger Lemongrass, Gingermint, Pep ‘O’ Mint, Pimento, Sarsaparilla and Sorrel with Ginger.
Cerasee Tea
Cerasee is one of the better-known traditional Jamaican herbal teas. It has a distinctive herbal taste and is part of the wider collection of herbs commonly prepared as tea in Jamaica.
Ginger Tea
Ginger is widely used in Jamaican cooking and beverages. Tops Ginger Tea offers the familiar spicy aroma and taste of ginger in a convenient tea-bag format.
Peppermint and Mint Teas
Tops produces several mint varieties, including Classic Peppermint, Egyptian Peppermint, Cullen Mint, Pep ‘O’ Mint and Gingermint. These teas provide different combinations of refreshing mint flavor and traditional Jamaican herbal ingredients.
Fever Grass and Lemongrass
Fever grass, also commonly called lemongrass, is another familiar plant used for tea in Jamaica. Tops offers both a Fever Grass or Lemongrass variety and a Ginger Lemongrass blend.
Cinnamon and Cinnamint
Cinnamon Tea provides the warm, familiar flavor of cinnamon, while Cinnamint combines cinnamon with mint for a different herbal tea experience.
Sorrel with Ginger
Sorrel is strongly associated with Jamaican food and drink traditions. The Tops Sorrel with Ginger variety combines two familiar Jamaican flavors in one convenient tea blend.
Jamaican Herbal Tea Tradition
Herbal tea has a long place in Jamaican household culture. In Jamaica, many hot beverages prepared from herbs and spices are commonly referred to as tea. The Tops range reflects this tradition by using familiar ingredients and flavor combinations associated with Jamaican food and herbal beverages.
Perishables Jamaica Limited says it is a Jamaican-owned and operated company that has been in business since 1980. The company produces the Tops line as well as its Sipacupa Ital Jamaican herbal tea range.
Tops and Sipacupa Tea Varieties
Some products that may appear alongside Tops teas belong to the company’s separate Sipacupa Ital Jamaican range. These include Guinea Hen Weed, Jamaican Vervain, Moringa, Neem and Turmeric.
This distinction is useful because the product gallery may contain several Jamaican herbal tea varieties from the same manufacturer, even though they are not all technically sold under the Tops label.
How to Prepare Tops Herbal Tea
Preparation can differ depending on the specific tea variety, so follow the instructions printed on the package you receive. In general, herbal tea bags are steeped in freshly boiled water for the amount of time recommended by the manufacturer.
For example, Tops recommends approximately one to two tea bags per cup for some varieties, with the tea allowed to steep before drinking. Always use the directions for the specific flavor you are preparing.
