Shop News
Apologies for my delay in keeping you all up to date. As some of you have already noticed, the shop in Maplewood is no longer open.
This was a decision arrived at somewhat spontaneously. I enjoyed the shop environment for the more leisurely pace of interacting and sometimes chatting with some of you for quite some time over a cup of tea.
Yet, economic realities had to be faced; and then, as I contemplated working at the Summer Farmers’ Markets again, I realized how much joy and vitality I experience interacting with you in that medium.
I remembered how inspired the name “Traveling Tea” and the teapot logo with its hobo bag, just “came to me”, almost unbidden…..and even the slogan “Sharing Good Times – Sharing Good Tea”. (”Traveling Tea”, not “Sitting in a Shop” Tea)
Though it was originally a teashop in Kansas City that generated the idea of a tea business in St. Louis for me, what I was “given” to create is something different.
Bringing tea to you, where you are in your lives and activities; to get quality tea on the menus at venues and events in the area where tea-lovers currently have limited choice. This is my mission. So tea lovers throughout the St. Louis area can truly enjoy healthy, tasty, properly brewed tea while they are sharing good times with friends and family.
Help me spread the word. Tell me where you want to see Traveling Tea. Tell the owners and managers of those places you want to be able to buy/drink Traveling Tea product there.
Together, we can take St. Louis beverage enjoyment to the next level!
Happy Summer 2010
I look forward to seeing you at the Markets

Caffeine Free. Excellent iced or hot!
This was my go-to tea on our first really hot day of summer!
As child of the 60’s, raised on Hi-C Fruit Punch and Kool-aid – one of the first things I did when I got home today was to make a pitcher of Red Berries tea to share with a friend who came to visit. She commented on it tasting like Kool-Aid, but with no sugar or additives to have concerns about. PURE Enjoyment! …..I did add a little sugar to my glass 
YUM!
Then, it occured to me to put a little rice milk in my next glassful. Mmmmm – berry cream-sicle.
Moms? Looking for a healthy alternative to those “juice” drinks?

With its berry red color, it makes a lovely presentation in a pitcher, or if you are looking for red color themed beverages for Christmas or Valentine’s Day.
