Frank — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 02:40:14 +0000

After the success of our Malted Genmaicha and Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha, we’re back at it again. Here’s a blend of Japanese Genmaicha (sencha green tea and toasted rice) with real freeze-dried cherries and natural cheesecake and maraschino cherry flavors.

Incidentally, the first Box of Chocolates tea samplers were dropped at the post office today! Don’t miss out on yours!

New Shipping Rates

Frank — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:58:55 +0000

I really didn’t want to do this. I’ve been looking at it sixteen ways from Sunday trying to figure out how to make this work. Unfortunately, the USPS has raised their rates again, quite drastically, I’m afraid, on International shipping.

As much as I love being able to offer free shipping to our friends in Canada, I’m afraid it’s just not feasible any more.

In an effort to make this as painless as possible, our Canadian customers will now pay $1.99 for the first pouch of tea and 50-cents for each additional pouch. This is NOT covering all of my shipping costs. (Right now, just the POSTAGE to ship a pouch of tea to Canada is $3.30)

For our Overseas customers, the new rates are sort of a mixed bag. The way it is structured, we’re going to have to charge $3.99 for the first pouch and $1 for each additional pouch. (If you order a few pouches, this should actually save you some money over the flat $2/pouch rate we had.

I really HATE doing this, but I don’t think I have any other choice at this point.

Cran-blackberry Rooibos

Frank — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:17:22 +0000

Real freeze-dried cranberries and blackberries in a blend with caffeine-free African rooibos. I may be partial to honeybush, but I’m pretty confident that rooibos was MADE for a blend like this. I’m sitting here with a big icy tumbler full of this and it is delicious. It’s renewing my faith in rooibos.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Black Tea

Frank — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:45:03 +0000

First, a quick note: to our subscribers and customers who have placed orders in the last couple of weeks, I apologize. We ran out of pouches, and my pouch supplier decided to take an extended holiday vacation. I finally got more pouches tonight (after failing to tell my vendor we had moved and having them shipped to the wrong address… grrr.) In any event, the plan is to get all of the orders caught up tomorrow, including our subscribers, who might get two or three pouches in one shipment to get us caught up. Again, I apologize. Now to the tea of the week–

This week’s tea is proof positive that being a pest sometimes pays off. There’s good reason why some of our customers have started referring to me as “the Willy Wonka of tea”. I enjoy creating bold new flavors, stuff that no one has ever done before. I couldn’t possibly accomplish this without the help of several people, most notably, our natural flavors suppliers. One of whom, I don’t mind admitting, I have a terrible man-crush on.

He is a genius in his field and provides probably 90% of our flavors. But what I love best about him is that occasionally I can come to him with a crazy idea for a new flavor and he will make it for me. Sometimes (like when I asked him to create a bacon flavor), he tells me I’m crazy and I have to track down an alternative, but many times he has helped me out. I know that larger companies that actually have money to spend will spend tens of thousands of dollars for his assistance in creating a new proprietary flavor profile, but he knows I don’t have the budget for that and he helps me out anyway. Maybe he sees in me, as I see in him, a fellow mad scientist. Whatever the reason, I am grateful.

For this week’s tea, he created a natural oatmeal flavoring, which I had been dreaming about for a while, so I could introduce you to this week’s tea of the week: Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Black Tea, with rolled oats, plump raisins and natural flavors including oatmeal and touches of brown sugar, raisin, and butter (and yes, it’s all vegan, for our vegan friends).

I don’t want to toot my own horn too much here, but I think this is going to knock your socks off. It is truly stunning. Get yours while they last.

Cranberry Black Tea

Frank — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 04:12:40 +0000

Do NOT let the simplicity of this blend beguile you. No, it’s not Pancake Breakfast or Rainbow Sherbet. It’s not Buttered Cinnamon Raisin Toast or Maple Bacon. It’s just Cranberry…

…Just awe-inducing, sweet and tart and delicious CRANBERRY with a base of fine Indian black teas blended with real freeze-dried cranberries. Not shriveled up old craisins. No, these are plump, ripe cranberries, freeze-dried at the peak of their deliciousness and now waiting for you to re-hydrate them and let their cranberry goodness tickle your senses and tastify your tea. Yes, I just made that up, but that is what they will do, leave you smacking your lips like only the sweet tartness of cranberry can do. Enjoy!

Cinnamon Lemon Bai Mu Dan

Frank — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 06:21:21 +0000

Before I get to the tea of the week, I think I should encourage you all to check out the “Revived” section of our In-Stock page, and continue to check it out over the course of the next 12 days. For those of you who have one of our 12 Teas of Christmas samplers, if you don’t want to have the surprise ruined for a particular day, you might want to wait to look at it until later.

If that wasn’t a clear enough hint, we made extra pouches of each of the 12 Teas of Christmas and will make them available each day of the 12 days, so if you enjoy the sample in your 12 Teas sampler, you can order a pouch while quantities last! Now, on to this week’s tea:

Here’s our premium bai mu dan white tea blended with cinnamon, lemon myrtle, lemon balm, lemon verbena, lemongrass, lemon peel and natural flavors. Pucker up for some deliciousness!
