Tropical Eyebrows
Posted by Frank on May 7, 2013 | 0 comments Our Tea of the Week for the Week ofMay 6, 2013 It seems that maybe spring is finally actually here, which always puts me in mind of e.e. cummings’ “In Just-” and William Carlos Williams’ “This is Just to Say” and maybe just poetry in general and also of fruity refreshing iced teas.

Stone Fruit White Tea
Posted by Frank on Apr 16, 2013 | 2 comments Our Tea of the Week for the Week ofApril 15, 2013 Stone fruits are so named because they have a large pit in their centers. They include peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines and cherries–in other words, a cornucopia of yumminess, all of which is represented in this blend.Thanks to my very supportive wife for the idea for this blend.

Pineberry Honeybush
Posted by Frank on Apr 11, 2013 | 0 comments Our Tea of the Week for the Week ofApril 8, 2013 There really IS such a thing as a pineberry. Supposedly it’s a strawberry that tastes like a pineapple and looks like the image on our label, which to me looks kind of like what marshmallows would look like if marshmallows were a fruit.So, of course OUR take on the Pineberry is probably nothing like what a real Pineberry tastes like,...VISIT OUR NEW SHOP!

For those of you unfamiliar with genmaicha, a little history: genmaicha was originally the beverage of choice for poor Japanese folk; the toasted rice served to stretch the more expensive sencha.

Banana Cheesecake Genmaicha
Posted by Frank on Nov 26, 2012 | 0 comments Following the success of our Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha, I’ve decided to try another genmaicha blend.
