Combining tradition and science to create natural and effective remedies.
The idea for this tea just popped into my mind one morning while interacting with the Twitterverse. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for Russian Caravan – and given the discovery that blending different sorts of tea together is fun and often quite tasty, it makes sense Continue Reading →
Flavoured cocoas were difficult. Initially, we experimented with ground whole herb. In some cases, like cinnamon, this works. In most others, it does not. The flavour is there, but the texture leaves a bit to be desired. So we started casting about for other options. We have a couple that Continue Reading →
This is the first tea we have created due to a hashtag. Yes, you read that right. A hashtag. One of my mutuals on Twitter (and a fellow spoonie, to boot) kept sending out tweets with the #365 teas hashtag. I initially assumed it was a specific company, and had Continue Reading →
Audio for Entire Page: How do you source and choose your ingredients? We look for organic. We prefer fair trade, when applicable/available.

We’d known we wanted to make a chocolate mint coffee – in part because Mister Tea loves the combination of chocolate and mint so much – and in part because it just seemed like a thing that should exist. A coffee with mint only was something that had been suggested, Continue Reading →
