Ah...the seasons are changing! I just made my first batch of sun tea this past week and after several months of my cold-weather favorites, it is so lovely to sip on a light, berry-infused glass of tea. If you're lucky, you may even find a tiny mint leaf to drop into the brew...

Many people, when thinking about a "berry tea" would think about infusing dried berries (like dehydrated strawberries or dehydrated raspberries) in hot water. Although that is one way to go about it, there are herbal benefits when infusing the berry leaves ... such as raspberry leaf or strawberry leaf. To read more about raspberry leaf, check out this raspberry tea leaf blend recipe. 

From our weekly series: The Sunday Steep

Pull up a soft chair and put the kettle on.  Sundays lend themselves to rejuvenation and soulful contemplation—activities best done while sipping a cup of freshly brewed tea.   We'd like to invite you to join us on Sundays for recipes, serving suggestions, and simple celebrations of all things tea! While it is nice to have go-to tea blends for the stresses of an ordinary weekday, there is just something about the adventure of taking out the herb jars and concocting just the right combination for a delicious experience…

In my old understanding of myself, I am a perky, pleasant and mellow sort who took a long time to anger or irritate.  My current reality, however, is one of a bit more emotional buoyancy.  I have surprised myself with a newly-shortened temper, a wide range of energy levels (from bursts of incredible creativity to unexplained exhaustion), and perplexing tears in the midst of a sunny, cheery day.  I joked with one of my friends that it is a bit like being a teenager, only now I have the experience, vocabulary, and bank account to really shake things up!

Summer is in full swing and all of our summer favorites are still on sale! Our current site is under maintenance and may not reflect these amazing prices at the moment, but we will honor them when we process your order.
