English Tea at the TGFM
Eccles cakes and lemon tea bread are priced the same way as the scones, and you can also mix and match a dozen for $15.00.
Please contact me right away if you want to place an advance order for pickup this Saturday. I believe she tries to do her baking on Tues and Wednesday.
This may be short notice but we’ll do the best we can for this week.
(by the way – the scones freeze beautifully, if you want to plan ahead and stock up)
About Traveling Tea
Selling loose leaf teas and freshly brewed tea at events and venues in the St. Louis Missouri area
We feature a wide variety of teas from India, China, Japan, and wherever else the best quality teas and herbal tisanes come from. The majority are organically grown and fairly traded.
Look for us at the Tower Grove Farmers Market starting on 5/9/2009. We will be there most Saturdays serving 2 or 3 varieties of iced tea as well as freshly brewed hot tea (brewed while you shop). www.tgmarket.org
You can now have a cup of tea with your morning crepe, or other market goodies!
New & Upcoming Teas
I’ve been listening to your requests and have just gotten a shipment of new tea flavors.
I’ve found more organics with yummy flavors. Some of the new teas may be ready for the 3/14 market at St. John’s; and I’ve got more surprises in store for the 3/28 market at Schlafly.
Attendees of the High Tea at Local Harvest Cafe will have the pleasure of experiencing teas that definitely won’t be available until 3/28, including a preview of one that will be offered iced this summer at the Tower Grove Farmers’ Market.
Looking forward to seeing you at the next market.
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.
Latest Tea Market News
I deem our first market (at St. John’s Episcopal Church) a success. I knew the actual process of brewing tea in that situation could not be perfected until we actually did it. I believe everything went rather well. It was a learning experience, to be sure.
Looking very forward to this Saturday at the Schlafly Bottleworks in Maplewood. Whether we are inside, or outside, please look for us. I don’t know if I’ll have a banner made yet for this weekend, but will definitely have one for the January markets, so we’ll be easy to find.
On the topic of actual “tea”….I was disappointed not to have any of the Teatulia teas available last weekend. I finally found out that my order had been held up waiting for the pallet of Earl of Bengal to be unloaded so it could be put into my shipment. On the PLUS side, I will now also have a lovely Teatulia White Tea to offer as well. I had delayed ordering it because I understood it was not in yet.
Will it be here for Saturday? Your guess is as good as mine…with all this weather we’ve been having. If it arrives Friday, I will have something to share with you Saturday. Otherwise, we all have to wait for January…unless you want to arrange a private tasting. I’m always up for that. It can be lots of fun getting to sample similar varieties side by side to find your favorite flavor.
Come on by Saturday, warm yourself with some hot tea or chai, and pick up a few stocking stuffers for the other tea lovers on your list!
