Tea Talk

As most of you know by now, I have a sweet tooth, and it seems I’m still in the mood for good cookies. Ok, let’s be real, there’s never a bad time for good cookies, right? Enter Almond Cookies Green Tea. This tea tastes just like an almond cookie, so it fits the bill! Of course, this tea is delicious all year long, not just during the holidays or in the winter. I also have sentimental value attached to this tea because my Grandma made the best almond cookies you ever wanted to taste. And this tea reminds me of...

Do you enjoy floral-flavored teas? I know for the longest time, I thought I didn't. The reason for this prejudice was years and years ago, I had a really BAD cup of nasty flavored floral green tea. It totally turned me off of all florals! The good news is that it is no longer true. One of my really good friends loved Jasmine tea. When I was visiting her, she took out her favorite teapot and cups and made a pot of tea for us. We were chatting, so I wasn't paying attention to what kind of tea she was...

I thought I would talk a little about one of my favorite green teas - Pomegranate Blueberry Green Tea with Goji Berries. I enjoy this tea year-round, either hot or cold. Most people are familiar with blueberries and pomegranates, but many of you may not have heard of Goji berries.

It’s the start of a brand New Year! For me, the beginning of January is always a good time to decide what I want to improve on in the first quarter of the New Year. This includes both personal and professional things. I find that plugging into a shorter time frame is more effective and offers me a much better chance at success. I’m sure you can all relate to the disappointment we feel when we fall short of those pesky “resolutions.” Even with the best of intentions, most things don’t survive past January, and I’m pretty sure I’m not...

Happy New Year! It’s almost time to ring in 2022 and celebrate the start of a New Year. I thought it would be appropriate to brew a cup of Creme Brulee, one of my favorite Black Teas, look back on 2021, and reflect on just some of the good things that have happened. First and foremost, I want to thank you for all the support, good wishes, and shopping small with us during 2021. Y’all never cease to amaze me, and we couldn’t have done it without you! One of the biggest accomplishments was the remodeling of our storefront shop....
