This year has been busy for me – both at the day job and at the tea shop. Very Grateful for the stronger traffic flow as the “day job” will be Gone at the end of October. I will be able to give this tea shop passion more of my brain cells! (That also means I will need to start getting some personal income out of it…. so Please, Tell all your friends and family. Keep Sharing Good Tea! Let us know if there is something you are looking for – Maybe I can find it for you. ?? Looking forward to a stellar Fall & Winter – Kateri
New Floating tea infusers hit the shelves this week. If you want to see it in action, click the Instagram link below. [We do not have this actual bunny rabbit version, but we do have 20+ other super cute styles.] They hold up to a Tablespoon of tea leaves, that makes a good 2-3 cups of tea and these will easily Fit and Float in your 24oz travel mugs (with the lid On). You can probably even do 32oz mugs if using herbal teas that don’t expand much
We don’t have a Lot of new teas at the moment as we start to take stock for Fall/Winter. We had quite a few new flavors come in for summer and quite a few are still here. This is what we Still Have for Summer flavors, in no particular order:
White Blueberry, Blue Pineapple (pineapple lychee flavor ready in pouches for making half gallons of iced tea), Mango n Friends (herbal, “friends” are strawberry and pineapple), Blueberry Green, AND special limited custom blend: Beach Party Bingo (black & white teas with coconut and vanilla and gluten free candy sprinkles) PJ says “it tastes like cake”.
We also still have a fair amount of the pressed Shou and Sheng puerhs. If you want a whole bing, please give us your name and contact info so Kateri can reach you when she orders again.
Blueberry Herbal Tisane will hopefully be back in stock before the end of August. It has taken a bit for me to accrue enough tea needs to make the minimum vendor order. I know Lots of You are missing it ?
Matcha and accessories. Japanese matcha is experiencing shortages due to its blooming popularity, and climate change, and shortage of farms to meet the need. Our prices are going up and we have had to limit purchase quantities. Bowls and Whisks and Starter kits ARE Back In Stock!
Watch our front page for our September annual inquiry of “What teas shall we make or bring in for the holidays?”
Check this section on the shopping webpage for Seasonal and Limited stock teas – it’s at the top of the list for you.
Some teas are “Special Order” status, so that I can still make the flavors available to you without having to sit on so much stock for slower moving flavors. A mostly current listing can be found HERE or call the shop about any teas you are not seeing that you have enjoyed in the past if you do not see it on this list.
When one or two of you special order a tea (prepayment required, 10% discount for 8oz or more), the extra will be showing up in the website category for “Seasonal and Limited stock”
If you want quick access straight to the shopping – or to pre-order drinks – get there via travtea.net
Teas may go out of stock or disappear from the website though we may have a few packages still left in shop. I “hide” it when we have all tea packaged and less than 4oz left in the canister. Please call or email if you don’t see what you are looking for. Also, check the Sale/Clearance section of travtea.net for the last bits of various teas.

You are always welcome to call or text the shop at 314 647-8832 (TTEA) for inquiries, help, or the latest status on any tea.
Discontinued teas, limited stock:Cherry Blossom Time – Still a fair amount in stock. Forever Spring Oolong will also be gone when our current stock is depleted.
Nine Ladies Dancing, Real* Scottish-grown black tea…. it is a truly lovely blend but quite costly and presently has too limited of an audience to warrant my investment in more after our current stock is gone. [*There has been quite a bit of news in the tea world about a fraudulent tea company that purported to be selling Scottish-grown tea as the perpetrator was recently sentenced to prison time for his large scale fraud.]
Check Clearance Tea Section on website to snag the last packages of teas when there are only a few left
More coming in SEPTEMBER – So we bring in enough, please Let us know by mid-August – do you want Raisin? or Plain? and how many.
Your feedback helps me to know which teas to keep carrying. When I run out of a slow mover I hold off on re-ordering unless I KNOW there is real interest. I have to make choices with how I spend the money you invest in our business. Are you missing your favorites? Tell us! (make sure my staff writes me a note about it – or email info @ traveling-tea.com)
