After some trial and error, we’ve perfected the recipe for not one, not two, but THREE brand new flavored matcha blends. Here is the second; and I apologize to our email subscribers for the multiple emails today, but this is an exception, not the rule.

We used up all of the stock of matcha we had in creating these blends so be forewarned, this is a limited edition blend; when it’s gone, it’s gone.

Here’s our premium matcha blended with real freeze-dried banana powder and natural flavors. YUM.

BREAKING NEWS!

We could only afford to enter ONE tea into the North American (formerly “World” ) Tea Championships this year, but I am very pleased to announce that our Pina Colada Honeybush placed THIRD in the Flavored Herbal Teas category! The tea scored an 81/100, the first and second place winners (honestly, I forgot what teas they were) scored 83 and 82 respectively, so it was a VERY close contest. Go us!

Going a little bananas this week. Too many things to do, and not enough time to do them in, so I felt it was appropriate to offer our Monkey Fart Honeybush from MySweetHoneybush.com for this week’s Tea of the Week.

Caffeine-free African honeybush blended with real freeze-dried bananas and natural banana flavors. Go bananas with me!

With sincere apologies to my business partner, Stacia, who HATES monkeys (Really, how can you hate monkeys?):

This week’s trivia challenge:

According to http://www.worldwidewords.org/topicalwords/tw-ban2.htm the term “go bananas” “burst upon the world” in what decade?

Well, I accidentally ordered too much white tea, so here is the first of three white tea blends we’ve created for you. This will be our Tea of the Week, the other two just mid-week blends (I don’t want to overwhelm our subscribers with white tea blends).

This blend features our premium Bai Mu Dan white tea blended with real dried pineapple dices, freeze dried mango and papaya dices, freeze dried banana slices, our signature honking big coconut flakes and all natural flavors. As I wrote on the label, it’s like a tropical fruit stand exploded–IN YOUR MOUTH!

No contest this week. Sorry. Have to get the other teas posted and I am already behind. Check back with us next week!

Sorry for posting our Tea of the Week so late. I had one of those immobilizing, forgot-to-take-my-bloodpressure-medicine-three-days-in-a-row headaches Monday and yesterday was Tea Tuesday (the one day of the week our brick and mortar shop, Zoomdweebie’s Tea Bar, is open) and there was just no time to get it done. Anyway, I hope it was worth the wait, and if early reviews at the tea bar are any indication, I think you guys are going to love this one.

You’re probably wondering just who the heck Chelsea is. Well, if you’ve ever ordered tea from us and gotten the wrong tea or your tea has been late, it was Chelsea’s fault. Chelsea is my little bubble-headed assistant with attitude. She knows I would only say that out of a deep and abiding loathe… I mean, love.

Honestly, Chelsea is my right-hand girl and I couldn’t operate 52teas or Zoomdweebie’s without her. When she complained (did I mention she is quite whiney?) that we had created Frank’s Apple Cider Rooibos in my honor and Sheri’s Blend for my wife, but no tea bearing her namesake, I said, “Yeah, so?”

After a few more months of whining, I decided that maybe I should spare my ears and let her have her own blend, and this is what she said she wanted: A chocolate covered banana rooibos.

Well, it’s just like Chelsea, a bit sweet and fruity all at once.

So here it is, our Chelsea’s Chocolate Banana Rooibos with caffeine-free African Rooibos, milk chocolate chips, organic cacao nibs and freeze dried bananas. If you guys don’t buy it up and make me reblend it and make it a permanent fixture, I’ll probably have to listen to Chelsea whine about it, so please buy it up.
