Combining tradition and science to create natural and effective remedies.
This chai started with a blogger. I was asked if we would be willing to donate a few teas for testing, and in return we would be highlighted on the blog for a month. Once Mister Tea and I had decided we wanted to do the thing, I, of course, Continue Reading →
For weeks I’ve been inundated with emails from companies we work with on a variety of levels, from the people we get herbs from, the people we get pens from, some of the places we acquire tea, banks, insurance companies, payment processing… …all trying to reassure. In some cases I Continue Reading →
Back in May Mister Tea and I realized we hadn’t yet made an Earl Grey Chai. This seemed odd, given his love of Earl Grey and my love of chai. Things got even stranger after I dug through the tea journals and the tea ideas files that hadn’t yet been Continue Reading →
I get tea ideas from a long list of places. One of the more common ones is people talking about food on Twitter. I’ll see a description and the flavour combination (or the bits of it that could be applied to tea) spark the thought of “I bet this would Continue Reading →

**EDIT 11/12/19** Catastrophe averted. And we are ever so grateful. If you follow us on Twitter, you may already have seen that Mister Tea and I are currently attempting to avert a catastrophe. I’ve read a couple of articles and Twitter threads in recent months about how being poor has Continue Reading →
The path The Deanna Variation took from original inception to actual tea was a very long and winding one. Earl Grey and Chocolate seems like a fairly obvious combination, and I think it came up during our first year. Some period of time or other after that, I blended a Continue Reading →
Well. Today was definitely exciting. And in a different way than I was expecting. Then again, I’m not sure if I had a really solid idea of what I was expecting. From the outside world or from exile or… anything . . . We ask that you create an account Continue Reading →
