Brandon is one of our most loyal customers at our brick and mortar shop, Zoomdweebie’s Tea Bar. If there has been a week over the past two or three years since he first discovered us that Brandon has not stopped in, I certainly can’t remember it. He is always there, enjoying our teas and sharing his quirky sense of humor with everyone around him.

Brandon kind of reminds me of a snickerdoodle–a bit spicy and tough on the outside, but warm and inviting once you get to know him.

Brandon likes to make some of his own concoctions at Zoomdweebie’s, asking me to brew him up a little of this with a little of that (or to brew the hot tea into a mug full of gummy bears as I recall…) One of his recent favorites is to blend vanilla and cinnamon teas which he has been hounding me about blending together and naming it “Brandon’s Blend”.

Here then, Brandon, is your fifteen minutes of fame.

Our Tea of the Week for the week of July 12, 2010

Please note that as we start to slow down for these summer months, I will be making smaller batches of each tea of the week. This week we have only 12 pouches left after taking care of our subscribers, so don’t drag your feet, this tea is going to go FAST!

Hurry! Only 0 left!

(SOLD OUT!)

So, we really want you to subscribe to our email newsletter, and we want you to read the posts we send you. I may not be John Grisham, but I think I write some pretty stirring prose about our teas.

So, our free pouch giveaway contest is going to change. From now on, one or more of our posts each month may contain an invitation like the one below. You must actually have the post in your email inbox to reply to in order to win, so if you haven’t already done so, please take a moment to fill in your name and email address under the “Join Our Mailing List” section on our website. You can opt-out any time you like.

Email Contest!

New Rules: We will collect responses through 11:59:59PM Central Time on Friday. From all of the correct responses we receive, I will select a winner at random using a random number generator and a count of all of the correct replies. The winner will be announced with the posting of next week’s Tea of the Week.

This week’s trivia challenge:

We did not get a SINGLE entry into last week’s contest… because… I upgraded part of our website and inadvertently disabled the email newsletter! So, no one got the email last week! DOH!

Well, I guess that makes it a little easier for this week. We’ll just use the same question!

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iced_tea iced tea makes up about what percentage of all of the tea consumed in the United States?
