2 Tasting Notes
My boyfriend and I broke down and brought a pound of the Monkey-Picked Oolong and blended it with a Raspberry Mate. I have to admit it is very soothing for our often irritated digestive systems. But being new to the tea-drinking culture, we are desperately seeking the advice of others for teas that won’t break the bank!!! Any suggestions are welcome. So happy to be apart of this awesome website:)
Preparation
Teavana tends to be pricey (overpriced), and their quality can be lacking. Try some places like Upton Tea, The Whistling Kettle, Teasource, or David’s Tea. I know that Upton and the Whistling Kettle both allow you to purchase small sample sizes, so you can taste it before you commit to a large quantity. I’ve found the prices and everything reasonable for what I’m getting. I started at Teavana, too, but I don’t buy from them anymore. There are plenty of cheaper, better quality places out there, with better customer service as well! Have fun exploring!
Thanks for the tips, Emily M:)…I will definitely check out some of the other places you mentioned…
