It has been an incredibly long week at Zoomdweebies this week, culminating with our 2nd Annual Groundhog’s Day Party, which was an absolute blast, but I’m really glad it’s over now. I’m afraid I really goofed and thought I had some supplies that I didn’t have. I was planning on blending a chocolate raspberry black tea based on one of the requests we got on our forum. But I wanted real dried raspberries, and though I was sure I had some, I was mistaken.

Tea Tip of the Week

Green tea should NEVER be steeped in boiling water. Steep in water that is around 160-180°F, and ONLY for 2-3 minutes. If you use water that is too hot, or steep the tea for too long, the water begins to break down the woody tissue of the plant and it releases excess tannins into your tea, which makes it bitter.

So, being at the last minute and all, and trying to be a good host to our Groundhog’s Day Party guests, I just went in the back and looked around at what we did have and decided on this. I know we have lots of suggestions still waiting on our forums, but I was a little panicked at not being able to proceed as planned, and after the week I’ve had, I guess I just decided that I really needed something light and sweet and relaxing. And while I hope that your week was less hectic than the one I’ve had, I hope you will agree that sometimes we can all use something light, sweet and relaxing…

…like a banana peach flavored green tea with real no-sugar-added dried banana and peach pieces. Think of it like tea with a hint of cool refreshing fruit smoothie added in. Enjoy!

We will continue with the blends suggested by our readers next week. For now, I hope you will forgive me and enjoy this Ah-inspiring blend.

Incidentally, please do continue to post suggestions on our forum, and don’t get discouraged if we don’t get to it right away. One thing to think about with your suggestions: I am trying to keep a good variety going for our subscribers. I don’t want to do too many black teas or rooibos or chocolate teas in a row. VarieTEA is the spice of life. Also, I would love to hear some suggestions for white teas, oolongs, puerhs, chamomile… Just keep them coming.
