It seems that spring might finally be in the air for Albuquerque. I know I'm certainly enjoying the weather. One of the wonderful things about tea is that almost any tea can be turned into a delicious iced tea. Below are a few suggestions on some of my favorites.
Products:
 Blood Orange: It has many levels of flavor ranging from the citrus orange with a light vanilla undertone, to the malty rich Rooibos base. Think about serving this tea with a slice of orange for an added treat.
 Honey bush Cooler: Honey bush is similar to Rooibos, but with a slightly more subtle sweetness. This tisane has lemon grass, and lemon myrtle, which add an excellent citrus taste.
 Broken Leaf Assam: Broken-leaf Assam teas tend to have a full body and brew quickly, therefore are excellent as an iced tea. For a classic iced tea experience, this is the tea to use.
Tea History:
When British tea planters first ventured into the Assam Valley in the 1850s to establish tea plantations, they faced many difficulties, especially with the wildlife. They had to contend with marauding elephants, king cobras, and troops of thieving monkeys. But the most feared of all was the mature Bengal Tiger who could kill with one swipe of a powerful paw. The early planters added fruits and spices to their often consumed black tea to ward of hunger and thirst. The fruits provided vitamin C; the cinnamon was added as a digestive aide.
Tea Tin Recycle:
I know a lot of you have a variety of tea tins stacking up in your cupboards. Please feel free to bring in your tins and have them filled up with our tea, even if the tin is from another store. Also if you would like to get rid of your tins, we will be happy to accept them, and find some interesting use for them.
