We’ve added a tiny amount of new shop hours (sorry it isn’t more yet).
Every other Tuesday – Jamie will be at shop from 11am-3pmI’ve added it to our Calendar/Events Page

If you have a non-planned event or gift situation and need to get tea, you can try the locations around town that are carrying our teas (see sidebar); or you can email or call Kateri. She can sometimes accommodate your schedule and meet you by appointment.
Thank you for your continued support. It means the world as we continue to build YOUR LOCAL tea shop.

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

More hibiscus – because a customer asked for it.  She read in Prevention Magazine that 3-4 cups of hibiscus tisane per day helps to control high blood pressure.  Please try it out and share your results.

1 oz – $4.00     2 oz – $5.50     4 oz – $10.00

Other hibiscus opportunities – Peach Paradise and Red Berries

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.
