Good place to order German Rock Sugar?

this is where I get mine from. It’s the best sweetener for teas

While this looks like a good place Teavana actually works out to cheaper. If you buy the three pound jar it is less than $17. If you buy it by the pound it’s more expensive. Hard to believe that Teavana is cheaper on anything but they are, at least in store. I noticed on the website it’s more expensive than they were in store.

(looks at TC’s location) sounds like a really cool place to live. you just happen to live near all the cool teashops

LOL Well Mad Hat is cool to hang out at…Teavana is just sort of “there” at the mall…..usually avoid it to be honest :)

Persimmon is where I got mine also. They even put it in an airtight jar.

It’s made from beets, so it’s suppose to be a natural occuring sugar. It doesn’t change the flavour & it also has less calories etc. Suppose to overall be healthier for you.

It’s exactly why I like the rock sugar..because it sweetens without taking away the flavor, like honey can. That being said…since I’ve run out of my rock sugar and cannot afford to buy anymore for a long while….I’ve been adding my sweetener to the tea before I pour the water, it’s been working pretty good. Instead of adding sweetener after it’s been steeped.

I agree with the above, and the guy who helps me at Teavana also recommended a honey they no longer sell called White Gold. You can get it from Williams Sonoma and everyone who tastes it, loves it.

I like honey in simple inexpensive teas like bagged mint, but it’s way too flavorful for me in more complex teas. The taste of honey will vary greatly depending on what flowers the bees harvested from too.

I agree, Dustin. I only use honey in lattes and iced Moroccan Mint sometimes. I almost never add sugar to any tea at all, but when I do it is either German rock sugar from Teavana or raw cane sugar from the Whole Foods bulk bins. But 99.9% of my tea is taken with no additions at all.
