Here's a sample of what's available:

Graphics were created by artists and breast cancer survivors Dagmar Fehlau, who designed the cranberry pomegranate box, and Heidi Kummli, whose transfer art of one of her original beaded tapestries is the front panel art of the tropical grapefruit green tea. The retails for $2.99 for a box of 20 tea bags.
