Happy days of summer to you!

I like my tea nice and hot, truth be told.  Still, I must admit, that after a nice run on a hot day, there is nothing like doing some stretching on the deck and sipping some ice-cold, slightly sweetened tea!  Many customers love serving up iced tea to their guests, a welcome refreshment for many on these warm summer afternoons.

Drink up, be healthy and enjoy!

Winter has made an appearance here.  And what better way to celebrate it than with a cup (or several) of the latest arrival of a green jasmine tea, appropriately named Jade Pond and White Snow!  This fine green tea hales from the Sichuan province of China and is certified organic.  We sold out of the last crop of this fine young tea and recently got it back in stock.  Don’t worry, we have more on the way as we have secured a couple of nice sized shipments of it.

You will see in the picture here that this tea is not merely scented with jasmine but rather whole August harvested jasmine flowers and petals float delicately to the top of each infusion like white snow on a jade pond.   Steeping after steeping, this tea gives off a sweetness in aroma as well as flavor and makes it one of the best green jasmines I have ever tasted.

This tea will be a great tea to share with honored guests, a nice middle of the day break or simply to relax with after a long day.  It would be delicious iced, as well, for those who enjoy an occasional cold glass of tea.  You’ll also get a good dose of much needed antioxidants with this fresh and tender young leaf.

Stay warm,
