    Spring Teas 2021 Are Rolling In!

    The first of our spring teas of 2021 have arrived! Two delightful green teas from China that were manufactured before the Qingming festival, which means they are the very first of this year's crop.  These sublime teas are Anji Bai Cha and Long Jing. They were very popular last year and sold out so we're thrilled to have them back in stock.

    Alishan Qingxin Oolong: Spring and Winter

    Enjoy this blog post contributed by one of our regular customers, Kyle Trenshaw. 

    As I am sure many of the folks who are reading this can relate, I buy too much tea, far more than I can actually drink by myself in a reasonable amount of time. Because of this tendency, I found myself with both the Spring 2020 and Winter 2020 harvests of the Alishan Jin Xuan that Niraj stocks.

  • Happy Heart Tea for Valentine's Day
    February 2, 2021

    Give your Valentine a Happy Heart!

    Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, so it got us wondering about the origins of this day to celebrate love that rolls around every February 14. There are lots of different theories about the origin story. Some say it began from a wild pagan holiday called Lupercalia which celebrates fertility. Others say it came from a pope trying to honor martyred priests named Valentine, but our favorite is connected to the notable 14th-century bard, Geoffrey Chaucer.

    Tea news to distract you from the News

    Back to School Reflections

    Today our children went to school which has drawn out so many mixed emotions. Normally the first day of school is a celebratory feeling, but today is quite different. On one hand, we are happy they return to school for two days a week of in-school instruction where they’ll get to have a quasi-normal school experience while wearing masks and socially distancing from their peers. On the other hand, we worry about their health both emotional and physical.
