I found a new tea shop today…and I bought 25 of their teas. The saleswomen were in awe and told me I hold the record for buying the most tea at once by far. They were so sweet though – usually when you purchase their tea you get a free sample of either a Mint Chocolate tea or an Orange-ginger pu’erh tea but they gave not only me both samples for free but also my roommate got both samples for free. They also gave us each a coupon for a free cup of tea upon our next visit. Also my cost for 25-30 g of 25 different teas worked out to about $100 but when you buy 4 teas, you get 1 free so I ended up paying $88 for 25 different teas and got 4 free samples. All in all, I don’t think I did too bad. And did I mention that they don’t use artificial flavoring??
Anyways, about this particular tea – the rooibos flavor comes through a lot but there is definitely notes of strawberry and cream. This is a subtle tea but I am realizing more and more that I like subtle teas too. I am definitely glad I have so much more of this to enjoy!

I actually thought about you because one of the teas I bought is a banana-cherry blend tisane which is quite nice. It is not cough syruppy at all because they use real cherries. It has a nice tartness that is not overwhelming because it is calmed by the banana. I will have to send a sample your way.
Oh, I’m excited to hear about all of your new finds! It’s always fun to find something local-to-you and lovely.
So far the teas have all been good. I have tried 3 out of the 27 I have and though they are not all my favorites, they are all nice cups of tea.
:)) So nice that you found a GOOD new shop. I wish we had more of them here.

That’s great that the staff are nice and you are enjoying the teas. They can’t all be your favorites. I’m always looking to try teas from companies that I don’t have access to. Would love a sample of the banana cherry. Will have to set up another swap when find the time.
