A Nice Cuppa

I rarely purchase Stash Organic Tea.  Their pretty zen-like labels are just not enough to warrant the price tag.  But as an avid tea fan, I was stoked when I spotted two flavors of Stash Organic Tea marked with a huge discontinued tag at the Albertsons just down the road.  For just $1.44 each, I […]

I have enjoyed a couple of Mate blends from Teavana, so when I was offered the chance to try two new mate blends from Guayaki, I jumped on it. The two teas I tried were the Greener Green Mate and the Orange Blossom Mate.
The Greener Green Mate is definitely an experience, though not necessarily a […]

One of my favorite places to buy loose leaf tea and accompanying accessories is Tealuxe. My boyfriend discovered Tealuxe a few months prior to our move back to Boston. Since then I’ve purchased items from their online store, as well as in person at their Harvard Square location, and I’m totally smitten. We’re tea drinking […]

I don’t know why I do it, but every few months I forget my prior experiences and decide to pick up a new tea flavor at Trader Joe’s.  Their prices are always so great, and the flavors of the Trader Joe’s brand of tea always sound a bit exotic.  Let it be known that I am a […]

I may have found a new hobby. While thumbing through my copy of You Grow Girl the other day I came across Gayla Trail’s section that details the steps involved in making your very own Tea Garden. Since my mini herb gardens have managed to stay alive this summer I think I might […]

I really love Jasmine Tea. I used to only drink it at Chinese restaurants. Recently I found some I really like at a tea store near me called Teavana. When I fill up my 8-ounce tin container of Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls it costs me almost $50! But I love the way it tastes and […]

It was a summer afternoon when I was out on my bike in the hip town next to mine with a chai-fiend friend. I was really, really overwarm. I asked for a chai at the hip coffee shop and a very hip-looking man gave it to me. Looking back, he was probably […]

There is no shortage of tea suppliers these days. A simple search online will result in dozens of online stores dedicated to all things tea. One of those online stores was introduced to me by a coworker via a coupon for $5 off my purchase. What a perfect way to get my attention. I figured […]

You may have stumbled upon the newest merchant on the tea block in Food & Wine magazine, in the New York Times, or, if you’re lucky, in a classy grocery store.
But in case you haven’t yet heard about the Highland Tea Company, allow me to introduce you.
Wanja Michuki drew up the plans for a Kenyan […]

Tea taken alongside a delicious chocolate dessert is common. Tea that has been infused and blended with chocolate is a bit more special; it is a spectacular way to enjoy the combination of flavors without the calorie count and fat content.
Chocolate teas are becoming increasingly available in the marketplace. Many purveyors are experimenting […]
