Caved on the cheesecake. It had to be one or the other—I’m not rich enough for both.

The French Vanilla Assam needs to be put on the permanent list too!

I second this. . or maybe reblend a little bit more . . . .I missed out on this one and am kicking myself!

I am with the reblending idea – I would love to try some!

Hmm… sad week, no tea on Tuesday. :(

I know… I’ve been watching for the tea of the week too.

Yesterday was his birthday so he’s probably still busy partying. :P

Jillian said

Or hungover. :D

Cofftea said

Not everyone gets drunk on their birthday. If he did, he did. But don’t make assumptions about people.

Sorry to disappoint, I was not hungover. I’ve been struggling with some major back pain issues. Sorry for the delay, but I am really out of sorts, and haven’t slept a a full night’s sleep for 2-3 weeks now. Finally went to the ER tonight, since my family doc appears to be worthless. I still don’t know what’s wrong, but they gave me some good drugs. I’m going to take them now and hope I can sleep through the night and get up tomorrow ready to tackle emails and packages.

I’m so sorry to hear of your back pain! I hope that you start to feel better soon!

Jillian said

Urgh, back pain is a nasty bugger, I hope you’re feeling better soon, Frank.

amandajo said

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well, Frank! I hope that they figure out what is going on soon. Consider this your virtual get well soon card. :)

I certainly understand back issues, 3 surgeries and total of 2 yrs of physical therapy later. Yuck! Hope you feel better soon.

Cofftea said

I’ve never had a compression fracture, but I do know what back pain feels like. It sucks. Definitely hoping this one will stick around for a while. I’ve had a SPT black tea that was nailed on accuracy, I’m excited to see of you can execute a honeybush as well.

Frank,
Be proud that all of your Steepsterites have worn me down. I finally placed my first order with you and am soooo excited! I think it was your comment about the Chocolate Malt Honeybush tasting like a chocolate milkshake that sent me over the edge. Do you have any ways of preparing tea based drinks like those served from your tea bar that you are willing to share with the masses?

Sorry. I thought I had replied to this. Please search our site for “tea latte” “tea soda” “tea shake” and “tea spritzer” for some of the recipes we used in our tea bar.

Thanks!

Argh! The french vanilla assam on your site is STILL sold out! Did I miss it again??

JoonSusanna: Yes, I believe you did, because last night there were four pouches.

I’m blending a little bit more of that, since we’ve had a few requests. Just updated the inventory (again). :)

Hooray! Thank you so much! I just ordered some of the French Vanilla as well as more of the Coconut Cheesecake Honeybush – I’m excited to get them both!

Woo hoo! Yay! Yippee! YAY!!!

amandajo said

Glad you finally got your blend! :) Hope it is as wonderful as it sounds.

Cofftea said

Whoo hoo! AND Beer tea. I’m a happy lady. Now I’m just hoping for my hot dog blend considering this already has lapsang souchong and tomato. :)

Janefan said

I just ordered a pouch of tomato basil black pepper, even though I’m supposed to be on total tea-buying lockdown. sigh but I was one of the enablers on the msg board asking for this blend, so it wouldn’t do to drag my feet and then not get one! Thanks for making this blend, Frank!

This sounds SO delicious! :) Awesome combo, LiberTEAS! And I’m glad you finally got your tea! :)

Janefan said

I ordered my tea Tuesday evening and it arrived today (friday!) Wow that’s record time!

I got mine today too! yay! And after tasting it, I placed an order for some crackers that I recently reviewed on my foodie blog: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/blue-cheese-fig-crackers-from-o-pair/ These will go WONDERFULLY with this tea. YUMYUMYUMYUMYUM

Frank, you TEASe:) I saw the TOTW and was grumbling because I just can’t afford it right now… but then I saw “anise”. I’m sure this is a great chai, I just can’t stand anise. I look forward to reading all about it though.

I don’t know if it would be consolation or TEAse, but I used a very light hand with the anise. I know how it can overpower everything else.

Cofftea said

Nope. No anise for me. …Even in chai.

Since you came through with my Tomato, Basil and Black Pepper, I am going to have to come up with a new challenge. :)

The chai sounds good though!

Oh no, PANCAKES!?! I LOVE pancakes and have been dreaming about a pancake tea.
Frank, can you really taste the butter and pancake flavor in this?

I’ve purchased the Strawberry Zabaglione and the Strawberry Pie and haven’t been able to taste the creamy or buttery aspects. Do you think my challenged taste buds will be able to detect the butter and pancakes? This looks like a dream.
