I am wondering why we chose Bourbon Street Vanilla Rooibos for one of our March Teas of the Month. For St. Patrick’s Day I am thinking Scotch (by association), Irish Whisky, green beer. But Bourbon? Ok. Let’s think this through another way – Bourbon Street, Mardi Gras. But that was in February this year. So I’m trying real hard to tie it in to March without questioning your merchandiser, Tammy, because she is a sweetheart and so good at her job.
Our website espouses, “The Bourbon Street Vanilla Rooibos Caffeine Free Tea blend from English Tea Store has a cinnamon spice flavor that gives this Bourbon Street Vanilla Rooibos a wonderful vanilla n’ jazz character. Terrific served hot and sensational served iced, you can also make rooibos lattes for a super taste (and if you listen carefully you will hear the riverboat steam whistles and wailing of a saxophone along the Mississippi).”
After searching “Bourbon March” I came up with the only thing that makes sense – there is a bourbon and bacon festival in March this year. DelRay Beach in Florida sponsors three different food events throughout the year – garlic, bourbon and bacon, and wine and seafood. At the bourbon and bacon festival, attendees can expect seminars and tastings, as well as pork recipes of all kinds set to the soundtrack of live blues musicians. I doubt anyone will be sipping our Bourbon Street Vanilla Rooibos but a town that loves bacon, garlic, and music is ok with me.
And it’s actually probably much safer. Except for your heart.
