As you know, I recently ordered a few teas from Plum Deluxe. Another tea in this order was Strawberry Orange Herbal Tea. This tea is actually from their “blooper” section and is offered at a sale price.

Hylda became available in early February of this year and I cast on for my version on February 19. I even had what… Continue reading Hylda

I have had several readers ask me to review unblended or unflavored teas recently, so another selection I added to my last Teapigs order was their Tung Ting Oolong Tea. This blend contains nothing but Tung Ting Oolong tea. Tung Ting Oolong is available in a sample size for $2.50 and a pack of 15… Continue reading Drink Me: Teapigs, Tung Ting Oolong Tea
You might imagine I could get behind a company whose slogan is “Drink more tea, read more books.” The Literary Tea Co. is a purveyor of organic teas “inspired by literary geniuses.” Why not try a cup of William Shakespeare Tea, a blend of black tea with orange peels and rose petals? https://img0.etsystatic.com/060/0/10128914/il_570xN.695573854_3zzc.jpg Or perhaps… Continue reading Literary Tea Co.

I purchased the sample… Continue reading Drink Me: Teapigs, Superfruit
