Mojito Black Tea

This morning after my daughter's swimming lesson, I made a pot of one of our seasonal teas, Mojito Black Tea. Delicious flavor! I used my pink ipot which is about 17 oz. I boiled my water, added three teaspoons of loose tea leaves and let steep for three minutes. I added a spoonful of honey out of habit but it was very flavorful without it, a nice mint taste. The ingredients listed are black tea, rooibos, coconut, pineappple, spearmint, lemon bits, rum flavor and natural flavourings. My first two cups I drank hot with some muffins but I steeped it again and poured it over ice. My husband and I are getting ready to go weed our front yard so I am looking forward to a cold glass of iced tea when we take a break.

#1250 Pink ipot, $32.95 The mesh strainer and the removable lid make this dishwasher safe. We also offer the ipot in three additional colors, coral#1252, red #1251, and plum #1253.

#2505 Mojito Black Tea, $10.95 for a tin which makes approximately 30-40 cups.

#2507 Seasonal Trio, which includes Mojito Black Tea, Indian Summer Black Tea and Apricot Vanilla Herb & Fruit Tea, is available until September 30th for $28.95. All these I will have on hand at my open house for a tasting later this month. Hope to see you then, KL

My husband brought home an Orange Scone from Panera for me so I thought I would enjoy our Orange Spice Black Tea this morning. I used our Tea To Go to heat up the water in the microwave, which makes it perfect for the office. You steep it in the same clear plastic pitcher so you can watch the leaves float around. Then you set it on your tea cup and the strainer holds back the leaves while it drains. I happen to be using my Peace, Love & Mickey Mouse cup from my days working at the Disney Store. (That's me with The Mouse when I helped open Lexington's store back in 1993.) Since this is a black tea, it does have caffeine in it BUT did you know that if you steep it for thirty seconds and toss that out, it gets rid of the caffeine? Just add water to steep again and your cuppa will be decaf. How great is that! You can find this on page 14 of our current catalog with a picture of the four tumblers.

If you would like a sample of our Orange Spice Black Tea, just contact me. I don't think I can replicate Panera's orange scone, but all I need to do is find a good orange icing recipe and drizzle it over the Cranberry-Orange scone mix we offer, see my July 2nd post on this blog. My teammate is coming out with a tea cookbook; I'll have to ask her. Have Your Tea & Eat It Too debuts in September for $12.95. I can't wait to try some of her recipes! I'll blog about my experiments, like Julie did with Julia. TTFN,

Kristina
