Welcome back to our Tea of the Month! For the month of March 2016, we are featuring assam teas. It is a dark, full bodied tea that is grown in the well known Indian region of Assam. The tea is known for it’s malty flavor and is excellent with milk and sugar, or good without,… Continue reading

April 2015 Tea of the Month – Peach Apricot
Both of our teas this month are fruity, just right for the fresh blossoms of spring here in the states. Peach apricot is our first choice for the month, being a Ceylon black flavored with real papaya, apricot, and peach fruit. I love peaches. Chambersburg is a drive to the east from where we live… Continue reading

Tea of the Month – March 2015 (Part 1)
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?

Honeybush vs. Redbush Tea
I like both Redbush (Rooibos) and Honeybush teas, though both are actually the leaves of flowering legumes, and not really tea at all. Neither has caffeine, both are low in tannin, and both come from Africa. Both are rich sources of antioxidants. Both have naturally sweet undertones. Close cousins, both these herbs require a longer-than-Ceylon… Continue reading

Growing Herbs for Tea and Tisanes
[ I wouldn’t describe myself as having a particularly impressive green thumb, but I manage reasonably well. These days my gardening efforts are limited largely to a collection of plants growing on a balcony, and they seem quite content with the arrangement. My lone attempt to grow actual tea plants, however, was considerably less successful.… Continue reading

Teas of the World: Greek Mountain “Tea”
Anyone who has read my articles for awhile now and/or followed me on Facebook, Twitter, etc., knows that I prefer to use the word “tea” only for those beverages made from the Camellia Sinensis plant and its varietals. So, this Greek Mountain “Tea” is for me a bit of a misnomer. Like guayusa, rooibos, honeybush… Continue reading
