Mango Watermelon Honeybush

Our Tea of the Week for the Week of
May 13, 2013

I’ve been procrastinating about posting the Tea of the Week this week, and I’m not sure why, but I told myself I was surely absolutely going to have it posted by Wednesday evening, but then I remembered–duh–Wednesday was the premiere (in 3D IMAX anyway) of the new Star Trek movie.

And you know I love you guys, but I’m so not giving up the special fan sneak peak tickets I bought over a month ago. So here it is Thursday evening and I’m posting the Tea of the Week. And if you haven’t seen the new Star Trek movie yet, RUN to your nearest theater and check it out. It was absolutely amazing–in my opinion, the BEST Star Trek movie EVER, hands down.

On to the tea: it’s one of our awesome caffeine-free honeybush blends, a sweet refreshing blend of organic watermelon and mango flavors with real freeze-dried mango. This is pure, sweet nectar. I’m sure it’s good hot too, but as an iced tea it is a thing of true beauty, just pure refreshment.

Tropical Eyebrows

Our Tea of the Week for the Week of
May 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. So be prepared, I have a few of those for you this month.

As for this blend, well, despite the silly name, it’s a refreshing blast of tropical fruits and sweet green tea. Chun Mee reportedly means “Precious Eyebrows” and is so named because of the shape of the leaves, hence our “Tropical Eyebrows” name.

I’m not sure if persimmon qualifies as a tropical fruit, but I felt the need to include it here, so I did along with mango, banana, kiwi, pineapple and coconut. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do.

NEW V.I.T. #1
Watermelon Lu An Gua Pian

Lu An Gua Pian is one of the Ten Great Chinese Teas. Literally translated, “Liu An Melon Seed Tea” due to the shape of its leaves, this green tea yields a light yellow colored cup with delicate vegetal notes.

After trying some of this tea unaltered, I decided that a bit of subtle sweetness would compliment this mildly toasty green tea best, and how could I resist making a watermelon melon seed tea?

The result is, in my opinion, a bit magical. It’s a pity that the supply of this tea is limited, commanding a higher price because I could drink it every day. But this is not an every day tea. This is a tea for special ocasions, to lift your spirits and put a smile of contentment on your face. At least I hope it will be that for you.

NEW V.I.T. #2
Pomegranate Da Hong Pao

Da Hong Pao is also one of the Ten Great Chinese Teas. Literally translated, “Big Red Robe”. Wikipedia states: “According to legend, the mother of a Ming Dynasty emperor was cured of an illness by a certain tea, and that emperor sent great red robes to clothe the four bushes from which that tea originated. Three of these original bushes, growing on a rock on Mount Wuyi and reportedly dates back to the Song Dynasty, still survive today and are highly venerated.”

Da Hong Pao is a Wuyi Oolong that has been known to sell for $1,250,000 per kilogram. Ours is infused with delicious organic pomegranate flavor and blended with real freeze-dried pomegranate arils. Thankfully it’s not anywhere near $1.25-million, but we do have only a limited supply.

Lemon Meringue Chai

Our Tea of the Week for the Week of
April 29, 2013

Big week this week at Zoomdweebie’s. I’m making up for some lost time last month with tax season and all of that yuckiness. We’ve got this awesome new Tea of the Week and a number of reblends/inventory corrections and later this week TWO new VIT blends!

As for this blend, well, it’s just a bit of heaven in a cup. Our house blended masala chai with lemon myrtle, lemon peel, marshmallow root and all organic flavors. It’s chai with a sweet pucker.

Anybody who thinks chai is just for wintertime hasn’t had a chai like this before. I’m pretty sure this will be a major crowd pleaser. Make it as an iced tea latte for a real special treat.

Banana Pudding Black Tea

Frank — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 23:39:45 +0000

Our Tea of the Week for the Week of
April 22, 2013

My apologies for the late post this week. I haven’t had access to the Internet most of the week due to an outage. I won’t name names (AT&T), but somebody better get their stuff together, or I’m going to have to switch back to the other guys–who were more expensive but at least reliable. But you don’t want to hear about that…

You want to hear about pudding. Did you know that pudding was created using techniques for making Haggis and blood sausage? Eww. That’s not very appetizing…

Changing gears… Bananas are very yummy, what’s more, they are yellow and shaped funny.

Our Banana pudding flavored tea also has coconut, which some people dislike in pudding because pudding is supposed to be smooth and creamy and who wants shavings of coconut in there? But hey, it’s better in the tea. And I’m feeling a little loopy tonight and rushing to get this posted since it’s already late, but I think you’re all really going to enjoy this blend–mentions of Haggis and coconut aside.

Stone Fruit White Tea

Frank — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 23:56:04 +0000

Our Tea of the Week for the Week of
April 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. She’s something of a stone fruit herself–soft on the outside but with a solid core of stubbornness on the inside. I guess I’m kind of bristly on the outside and all mushy inside, so I suppose we’re a match. In the words of the immortal Blues Brothers, I’m “Crazy ’bout her / That hard headed woman of mine.”

Pineberry Honeybush

Frank — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 20:49:14 +0000

Our Tea of the Week for the Week of
April 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, which I imagine not very many people would know anyway, but rather what I imagine a Pineberry SHOULD taste like.

I think it should taste like sweet, golden honeybush with accents of pineapple, strawberry and marshmallow–so I created this blend with real freeze-dried pineapple and strawberry bits and marshmallow root. It’s a little different, but then, so is 52teas.

Mai Tai Green Tea

Frank — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 21:26:21 +0000

Our Tea of the Week for the Week of
April 1, 2013

The traditional Mai tai is made with rum, Curaçao liqueur, and lime juice. Curaçao is a liqueur made from the peel of the laraha citrus fruit, which was developed from the Valencia orange. The liqueur is naturally colorless but is often given artificial color, commonly blue. Our Mai Tai is a blend of Yun Wu, Chun Mee and Young Hyson green teas, orange peel and organic flavors. It’s sure to put you in mind of tropical breezes. See if you can drink it without wanting to put a little umbrella in it.

Beta Testers for New Super-infuser for Tea

Frank — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 05:00:15 +0000

After several years of experimentation, I’m ready to release our patented tea super-infuser prototype on a limited basis. We’re looking for some design and functionality feedback. It might not look like much right now, but this baby has it where it counts.

Our patented device uses small amounts of ultraviolet light and gamma radiation to extract the essence of your tea. It works with every kind of tea, and can produce a perfect cup of tea with a single button press. No more struggling to find the right temperature or steeping time, no more worries about over-steeping. Our super-infuser does all the work and does it perfectly, every time. Plus, clean up is a snap; the tea ash bin pops out for easy cleaning. Everything works on a simple household electrical outlet (battery operated units available soon).

I’m 98% certain this device is 100% safe, but we do need some volunteers to try it out before we go into full production. We are also looking for feedback on the design aspects of the device. It’s a bit bulky and unsexy at the moment. If you are interested in being part of the beta test, please click below to sign up.

April Fools!

Hulk want TEA!

A friendly reminder that tea and gamma radiation do not mix.

Butter Rum Black Tea

Frank — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 01:04:43 +0000

Our Tea of the Week for the Week of
March 25, 2013

Butter Rum was always my favorite flavor of Lifesavers. I’m not really a fan of rum itself, but butter rum candy is the stuff dreams are made out of, and so is this tea.

It’s a blend of our premium black teas, marigold petals and organic rum, butter and (just a hint of) vanilla flavors. The vanilla is just a teeny bit to smooth out the other flavors. And smooth is exactly what this tea is. It’s delicious hot or iced. I hope you agree.
