Dear [fname] [lname],  It is June, and that means that New Mexico Tea Company will be providing complimentary tea during intermission at all the performances of the June Music Festival at the Simms Center, Albuquerque Academy. The June Music Festival is put on by Chamber Music Albuquerque and this year will feature: Takacs String Quartet, Lark Chamber Players, and the Calder String Quartet. Tickets start at $26, so think of it as all you can drink tea for $26 and a free show! For $10 off the weeknight shows call Bruce at 505-268-1990 by Wednesday the 10th. (Buy your tickets here)
Monthly Contest:The winner for the tea photo contest is Jami Porter Lara who took: 
The prize is 4oz of tea. You can see the runners up on the tea photo page. The next contest is going to have a bigger prize, because it's more work: a Tea-Shirt design contest. The winner will receive 4oz of tea, the tea tumbler in this news letter, and of course a shirt once they are printed. Featured Products: | Plum Oolong: This earthy Oolong has a natural plum flavor that makes a perfect sun tea or afternoon delight, a winning combination! In 1964, the Republic of China officially designated the plum blossom to be its national flower, with the triple grouping of stamens representing the Three Principles of the People and the five petals symbolizing the five branches of the ROC government. $3.75/oz |  | Passion Berry Fruit Tisane: Delicious over ice, this fruit medley contains pieces of peaches, apples, orange peel, and rosehips. With no added sugar, this infusion is perfect for children and adults alike. For the summer, try this tisane frozen, like a popsicle! (This is the new "blood orange" I think.) $3.75/oz |  | Tea Tumbler with Infuser: TherMax double wall vacuum insulation locks in temperature to preserve flavor and freshness. Made with unbreakable 18/8 stainless steel interior and exterior to withstand the demands of everyday use. Leak-proof travel cover seals closed for carefree portability. Separate infuser and splash resistant drink lid let you brew and enjoy, all in one container. $22

Tea History:
Sugar and tea have a long history together in the west. Some people would even say that one of the reasons tea became so popular in England was because it was a perfect delivery mechanism for sugar! Sugar consumption was so closely tied to tea that in the 19th century the amount of tea being smuggled into England could be calculated by the amount of sugar being consumed. A few months ago I talked about the "only tea garden in the United States" being in South Carolina. My uncle Keen, who lives in Hawaii, was quick to point out that I was incorrect; Mauna Kea Tea Garden being one example. It is located on the rainy slope of Mauna Kea, on the Big Island of Hawaii. "We grow and process green tea (camellia sinensis) that is not only of good quality, but also safe for people and for the environment." Sincerely,
David Edwards

Many restaurants have expensive specialty summer drinks that can be replicated at home by adding fruit juice as the last step. Brew your iced tea as normal, and then before chilling add in apple juice, or cranberry juice (among others) for a deliciously sweet beverage. Past Newsletters:
