The tenth individual (one reply per person, please) to reply to this post via email with the correct answer to the following question will receive a free pouch of tea! Question: In the 1970s and 1980s, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups launched an advertising campaign featuring situations in which two people, one eating peanut butter and one eating chocolate, collided. One person would exclaim, “You got your peanut butter in my chocolate!” and the other would exclaim, “You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!” They would then sample the mixture and remark on the great taste, concluding with what slogan? (Hint)

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.

Chelsea actually doing some work.

Chelsea actually doing some work.

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.

Here it is, our Malted ChocoMaté!

This is roasted yerba mate with organic cacao nibs and all natural chocolate and malt flavors. It is one delicious energy kick! If you missed our last yerba mate blend, you can read more about mate and it’s properties here. This is our first roasted mate blend. The previous mate blends were made with green yerba mate. The difference in flavor is similar to the difference between a black and a green tea, though the roasted mate still has tiny bit more of a vegetal taste than black tea.

You should definitely check out the link above and read about Yerba Mate and caffeine. We have compiled some interesting information there.

When I asked her if she had any ideas for a new blend, she wasted no time in telling me she wanted a chocolate caramel chai.

After a few rounds of adjustments, I just made myself an iced chai latte with this blend, and I have to say, kudos to Chelsea for making a great choice! This is a delicious chai, sure to please the sweetest sweet-tooth.

Please note that we only made a half-batch of these, so get yours while you can. They are going to go fast!

Now THIS is a tea! We pulled out all of the stops on this one folks, and created something really amazing and unique. Good luck finding a tea like this anywhere else.

We blended our premium black teas with dried bananas, dried pineapple, organic cacao nibs, vanilla beans, freeze dried strawberries and freeze dried cherries. The result?

DELICIOUS! With the first sip you get the sweetness of the bananas, strawberries and pineapple, then the chocolate and vanilla and faint hint of cherry follow as a soothing aftertaste. We thought maybe there were too many flavors in it, that everything would become muted and muddied, or, we thought, it might turn out so that one flavor dominated the rest so that it was pointless to have so many flavors, but honestly, this blend could not have turned out more perfect. It is every bit of the banana split experience in a tea.

This limited edition blend is going to go FAST, so get yours today before it sells out. You will not be disappointed.

Prepare to be seriously WOWed.

Seriously, how can you go wrong with Chai, organic cacao nibs AND the essence of New York Cheesecake?

This is one ridiculously decadent tea!  Add a little cream and sugar and I’m betting you will think this blend is too good to be legal.  And get this–if you don’t like chocolate, sit tight.  I’m about to post a separate, mid-week blend (a bit early)–our vanilla bean cheesecake chai!

Who’s the man?  Yeah, you know it.  Enjoy!
