Shopping on-line
Hello and thank you for stopping by to see what is new. I do apologize for how slowly this site is developing.
For those of you who don’t know, I’m still working a full-time job and having tea at the Farmers’ Market has been my primary focus. We do now have many of our available teas listed here on the site though, with the appropriate pricing.
The shopping cart should also be working. We tested it earlier this evening. Please give us feedback on what will make your shopping experience smooth and enjoyable. This is a learning adventure for both myself and my webmaster. We appreciate your patience, your input, and your support.
In addition to shopping via the shopping cart here, you can also email me with your request and I can bring it to market, or drop it off at Local Harvest Grocery at 3148 Morganford Road St. Louis 63116

High Tea – Tea Tasting at Local Harvest Cafe
I’m excited to announce that Local Harvest Cafe has invited Traveling Tea to present a tea tasting on Sunday March 15, 2009, from 3:30-5:00.
Their chefs will create some sweet and savory foods to accompany our selection of teas. We will be sharing 6 different teas (and maybe a surprise limited availability tea if it arrives in time), allowing you to experience a range of flavors and types.
Additionally, I will be talking with you about tea – its origins and history, health benefits, and offering brewing and storage tips. We’ll also have Q&A time for your specific questions.
Join Local Harvest and Traveling Tea for lots of yummy foods and a steaming mug of your favorite tea (of the 6). A lovely way to spend a pre-Spring afternoon.
Market News
I’ve got a few markets under my belt now and I am truly pleased with the reception and response I’ve received from the Market attendees. It is a good feeling to be helping you find those sought after tea flavors, and turning non-tea drinkers on to flavors and variety they never knew existed.
For those of you who’ve heard about us and we’ve not yet met, or those of you who have come upon our site unawares….every market day we have 5 or 6 teas freshly brewed for your drinking pleasure; and we’re selling lots of flavors and varieties of loose teas (as well as a small selection in silk pyramid bags).
We also offer fillable, biodegradable, tea bags for your cup or pot; and reusable filters too.
Traveling Tea was born of my own longing to get a good cup of tea in a public venue such as the Farmers’ Market. I’ve been drinking tea for 40 years or so, and coffee only for the past 5 or so years. I admit, on occasion, I enjoy the flavor of coffee with my milk and sugar; but tea …. TEA has a Vast array of flavor possibilities – and it doesn’t make me feel jumpy.
Stop by, check us out, enjoy a cup of tea, and share your tea stories and tea memories.
