Red Berries

Hibiscus flowers, elderberries, bilberries, grapes, and citrus peel. 

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?

p.s. – It’s also GREAT hot.  

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. 

Tea Publicity!

There is nothing more exciting for a new business owner than getting unsolicited publicity.  It sends a thrill of excitement through the veins; especially when friends notice it for you and share their congrats.

I can’t adequately convey what went through me Tuesday morning when several friends emailed to say they’d seen Traveling Tea mentioned in “The Daily Sauce” (see below).  Unsolicited praise does a body good! 

Thank you to those lovely, secretive shoppers from Sauce Magazine.sauce logo

 

 

Tea to You

Kateri Meyer is a tea toddler and proud of it. Her new business, Traveling Tea, will have you sipping teas by the teapot. For years, she explains on her Web site, she wanted to see a good tea shop. Like all good entrepreneurs, she stopped talking and just did it. While you can taste her selection of mostly organic and fair-traded loose-leaf teas from India, China and Japan – to name just a few – Saturdays at the Tower Grove Farmers’ Market, Meyer wants to bring tea to you. Traveling Tea can provide fresh-brewed tea at any public event. How about an in-house tea party for a few of your best friends? What a fun way to learn about tea and sample new flavors. And the best part of all, no one will have to buy cookware, candles or wine.
