It’s high time we made a special blend for our elf friends, so here you go! Our 2011 Holiday Blend is a delicious and satisfying concoction, and it’s guaranteed to restore vigor and merriment to you and all the elves you know. There are no fru-fru flavors to be found in this tin, no potpourri in a cup from Andrews & Dunham here. Just strong, hearty tea, the way the elves like it.
This is an edition of 150 so go get one quick!

We’ve partnered with the good people over at Refinery29 to offer an exclusive tin of tasty Ceylon. If you remember the Ceylon from our very first series way back when a) thank you for remembering and b) you might enjoy this as it’s quite similar. This tea seems a bit fruitier than the Series 1 Ceylon, and a little more forgiving if you over brew it, which is handy this time of year if you’re as busy and forgetful as we are.
Here’s a little interview we did with them, enjoy!

What have we gotten ourselves into? We didn’t want last year’s tiger to be lonely, so we put together a fantastic white tea for the Year of the Rabbit. Now we’re on a roll. Good thing the Chinese New Year only happens once a year.
Do rabbits and tigers get along? These guys do!

Well, that went a lot quicker than we thought it would! Turns out at least 50 of you are seriously fired up and ready to get your Chinese New Year on. We’re right there with you.
We still have plenty of Series 2 and Series 3 for you to enjoy. (Follow us on Facebook or Twitter so you won’t miss out on the next Series!)
Thanks to you we now have to start working on Series 5! Erik and I plan to do so right after a celebratory stop at our favorite Chinese eatery. Happy New Year!

Get ready to rock! Series 3 is right here and it’s ready right now!
We decided it would be fun to put together a set of what we consider to be the classic flavored teas. No, we don’t have anything against the crazy, outlandish flavored teas that some enjoy (nor did we look down on wine coolers in high school). Hey, be yourself and enjoy what you like. It’s just not, um, our cup of tea, really.
When we’re looking for some soothing, scented leaves to brew we look to these three: Earl Grey, Jasmine Green and Russian Caravan. Every tea shop has ‘em, we can’t live without ‘em and these are some of the very best we’ve ever found.
Hope you love ‘em as much as we do.
Rock on!

So the bad news is the release of Series 3 has been delayed by a very slow boat from China. No kidding! The crucial 3rd tea in the series is out there on the ocean somewhere while we wait at the dock, shivering in the cold and straining to see a light on the horizon.
The good news? In the course of our hand-wringing and soul-searching we found we still had a few familiar labels lurking about so we sourced ourselves a little more damn fine tea and are proud to offer a very limited re-release of Series 1! (and just in time for the Holidays!)
Come and get ‘em while they last — we’ve only got 40 sets and once they’re gone they’re really gone this time.
