Sounds good – except for the red rooibos part. I hope you didn’t cheat and add hibiscus to get those berry flavours, Frank. ;)

Did anyone else check out the in-stock page and notice Apricot Cheesecake Black tea in stock? Has anyone tried this? I suppose I could just read the tasting notes if their are any, but I was surprised to see something I haven’t there before….very tempting, I love all the cheesecake blends!

I didn’t notice it, but I thank you for calling my attention to it, Meghann. My wallet doesn’t thank you, but I do. :)

Kristen said

I noticed that too and have been contemplating placing an order! It sounds yummy!

Jaime said

Yup, I’ve been eyeballing that one, too. My Christmas money is going to be put to good use, methinks!

Kristen said

I just ordered a pouch of it… but noticed after ordering there is only one left in stock! So if you want to order it better do it soon!

I wondered who was going to notice those first. =) My inventory counting is notoriously bad. I have some Candy Cane tea we reblended a month or so ago for the shop too. I suppose I should get those up on the site as well. Some day I’ll have this inventory under control.

Kristen said

Candy cane tea??? I am going to check the website NOW!!! :)

Sad Face- It’s not on the website yet …. will crying help?

Cofftea said

LOL Kristen, you make me smile:)

Sorry had to take the little one to see Barney in concert this afternoon. I’m not positive exactly how many I have. I’m pretty sure I have at least four, so I guess I will post those here in a minute.

Kristen said

No apologies 52teas… I know how important Barney is! Fortunately my girls are not into Barney but I have sat through 2 WIGGLES concerts and Sesame Street LIVE and it makes them so happy! I hope she enjoyed it!
@cofftea- glad I made you smile :)

Okay, and the Candy Cane tea is reposted: http://www.52teas.com/2009/11/20/candycanetea/

We did Sesame Street earlier this year, and I don’t envy you the Wiggles concerts. Those guys give me the creeps.

I had no idea that Barney was such a hit with the mentally handicapped crowd. There was a very large group of adult mentally challenged folks there. It was like date night or something and they were just having a GREAT time.

Kristen said

Ok thanks… I just ordered a pouch of that one too. If you want to ship it with the other one that is fine :)

While you guys are noticing my inventory snafus, you might check out the in-stock page now. I just updated it, and, well, just don’t ask me how it got to be so messed up, but it’s more or less fixed now, and there are quite a few less of some teas and there are some that I was sure we were sold out of that are back now (typically only a handful, though).

Kristen said

Woohoo! Thanks for alerting us (although my wallet is not thankful) ! CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUP !!!! Can’t wait to try… just ordered so if you you haven’t shipped out the others there is an order I just put through for that one :)

Picked up the Candy Cane as a Stocking stuffer. Hope it makes here on time. Out of money but I would have tried the Chocolate Peanut Butter too.

Peanut butter cup? I can resist many things, but this I cannot. So much for my resolve to not buy more tea this month….

Too funny… I was placing an order when the new TOTW was posted:) You can ship all 5 pouches together.

LOL. Yeah. I saw your order come through as I was posting the new tea and thought, oh, she’s going to wish she had waited, and then I thought, but see, that’s why it’s nice that we have free shipping. You don’t get penalized for placing separate orders. This guayusa stuff is amazing. DO NOT drink it late at night if you want to sleep. I was up til about 4AM the other night. LOL.

Cofftea said

I can have a drip cup of coffee about a half hr before bed and still sleep so if this has less, I’ll be good. Yeah I’m normally NOT a lemon person, but I’ve never tried Guayusa. And I bought the Lemonaid for my friend that is pregnant. I’ll be mean and steal a tsp 1st just to try it though;)

I can normally drink tea right up until my head hits the pillow—black tea, whatever. But not this stuff.

I bought the Lemonicious and the Lemon Aid. Hope this gets here before X-Mas the Lemon Aid is a stocking stuffer. It seems like I am going to love these. Great choice Frank!

Meghann M said

The Lemon-Aid sounds quite delicious, I can’t wait to read your guys reviews of this and the Lemonlicious! I hope to order both teas after the holiday.

Frank, you like experimenting with new kinds of tea — have you ever tried this one?: http://steepster.com/teas/harney-and-sons/15509-yerba-mate-buds

It is entirely different than regular mate.

By the way, your description of guayusa tasting like tobacco…. I’ve never had guayusa myself, but the first time I had mate (I usually drink it the traditional way, out of a gourd with a bombilla [straining straw]) I thought it tasted just like hookah (tobacco water pipe). I am not a smoker, but that was definitely my first impression!

Cofftea said

I’d love to try a flavored yerba mate bud tea!

So… Frank… I seem to recall you mentioning a peanut butter blend that you’d be making soon? What up with the NON peanut butter teas? Do you realize what you’ve done to my wallet over the last couple of months? DO YOU?

I feel like an idiot. I didn’t realize the christmas promotion for the tea of the week/month club was on eastern time so I missed out on it.

Can that gingerbread chai please be the TOTW next week… it was a LOT of fun reading about the packages, but given the selection I’m actually glad I didn’t go for it… only a couple woulda been hits for me… but I really regret not getting the gingerbread chai. :(

Kaitlin S said

Looks like you got your wish! :) I might get a full size of this one—I loved the sample!

Cofftea said

I have officially bought 6 pouches of tea in almost as many (7) days… that doesn’t happen even when you create 3 matcha blends on the same day! Psst Frank… STOP! LOL why don’t you satisfy the cravings of those that love other flavors like banana, licorice, or blueberry for a while? Although… I ate a lemon cranberry cream cheese muffn this morning REALLY wishing I had a like flavored tea to go w/ it.

Frank, here’s another tea that you could use for a very interesting base:

I’m not sure you’d be able to sell a lot if you were making a cigar-flavored tea, but I’m sure you’d get a few people who would try it just out of curiosity!

or put in the man teas line :)

Perfect idea! Frank, your next man tea must be Cigar (or Pipe) tea.

Damn you Frank I just made an order for 4 pouches but this sounds so good….

I love white tea and I love melon.

Cofftea said

Holy crap Frolic- Now I don’t feel so bad!=D But I have bought 7 pouches in the last 3 weeks lol

Frolic select said

I only wish my funds could extend that far(Frank has so much good stuff, I really almost bought myself a tea of the week membership) but with the lupicia splurge I’m sitting out on the tea buying fun for now :(
