Happy 2009 everyone. Many people ask how we are doing in these uncertain financial times, and that they wish us the best of luck in business. 2008 was a great year for us, and that’s because the longer we are open the more people know about the store and come in to find great tea at all price levels.
We don’t do any paid advertising and therefore are completely supported by your word of mouth. If you like our products tell a friend or twenty. If you don’t like some aspect let us know, so we can work to make your tea buying experience the best part of your month. Once you have told all your friends and family about the store, head over to the links on the right and let the rest of the world know what you think! Since the Internet is the biggest soap box available today feel free to talk about tea as much as you like. Thank you for supporting New Mexico Tea Company not only through your purchases but through all of the positive energy we have received from everyone who knows about us.
We have been open every day other then holidays for the past 26 months and it’s time for a little break. So starting next week (January 12th) we will be closed on Mondays. Which day to be closed, and to be closed at all, was a tough decision for me to make. But I feel Monday as opposed to Sunday is the best day because the businesses around us are closed. If you have been coming in on Mondays and cannot adjust your schedule for another day let me know, and we will work something out.

Crime of Passion: This cold January let's be reminded of the Copacabana beach in Rio, where time seems to stand still as Brazilians recline in the heat of the equatorial sun. Inspired by the sultry hot beaches of Rio de Janeiro the natural sweetness of this green tea makes it perfectly suited for blending with dried papaya pieces and natural passion fruit flavorings. |

The Tea Royal Tray will be coming in on Monday the 5th along with another similar electric kettle without the pot. This set features an integrated hot plate for the tea pot and is made of acid-resistance, heat-resistance and taste-neutral glass and stainless steel. It's great for the office, or any other place you need to keep your teapot warm. |
Tea History: Honey
China, Turkey, and the U.S. are the top producers of natural honey. Honey is the fluid bees produce from pollen they gather from flowers. They store this honey as a food source for themselves in the winter when food is scarce. Honey has attractive chemical properties for baking, and a distinctive flavor which leads some people to prefer it over sugar and other sweeteners. Most micro-organisms do not grow in honey because of its low water activity. This means that it does not rot and if the right conditions are met it can even be edible after thousands of years. However it’s not recommended to keep your regular commercial honey for more than a few years. This is because honey is very absorbent and will absorb undesirable things from the air over time, and can start to ferment if enough moisture is accumulated.
The best honey is from fresh uncut honey combs, and should be stored at 50°F. Once you take the honey from the comb it becomes easily susceptible to loss of quality during preservation and distribution. Heating up to 99°F causes loss of nearly 200 components, some being antibacterial. Heating up to 104°F destroys the invertase—the main bee enzyme. These temperatures are in reference to story your honey, not cooking with it.
We are working on providing local New Mexico honey to our customers. We have one source lined up, but if you know any bee keepers forward this webpage to them.
Sincerely, David Edwards Owner - NM Tea Co. |

Tea Tip of the Month:
A stress filled office is a miserable office. Take the time to set up a "tea time" in the break room or your desk. Offer people a variety of freshly brewed tea.
